Type I Interferons in Autoimmunity: Implications in Clinical Phenotypes and Treatment Response.

Type I interferon (IFN-I) is thought to play a role in many systemic autoimmune diseases. IFN-I pathway activation is associated with pathogenic features, including the presence of autoantibodies and clinical phenotypes such as more severe disease with increased disease activity and damage. We will review the role and potential drivers of IFN-I dysregulation in 5 prototypic autoimmune diseases: systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, primary Sjögren syndrome, and systemic sclerosis. We will also discuss current therapeutic strategies that directly or indirectly target the IFN-I system. Copyright © 2023 by the Journal of Rheumatology.
