B Cell Signatures Distinguish Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Subtypes and the Presence of Systemic Disease Activity
Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by a diverse cadre of clinical presentations. CLE commonly occurs in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and CLE can also develop in the absence of systemic disease. Although CLE is a complex and h...

Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by a diverse cadre of clinical presentations. CLE commonly occurs in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and CLE can also develop in the absence of systemic disease. Although CLE is a complex and heterogeneous disease, several studies have identified common signaling pathways, including those of type I interferons (IFNs), that play a key role in driving cutaneous inflammation across all CLE subsets. However, discriminating factors that drive different phenotypes of skin lesions remain to be determined. Thus, we sought to understand the skin-associated cellular and transcriptional differences in CLE subsets and how the different types of cutaneous inflammation relate to the presence of systemic lupus disease. In this study, we utilized two distinct cohorts comprising a total of 150 CLE lesional biopsies to compare discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE), and acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (ACLE) in patients with and without associated SLE. Using an unbiased approach, we demonstrated a CLE subtype-dependent gradient of B cell enrichment in the skin, with DLE lesions harboring a more dominant skin B cell transcriptional signature and enrichment of B cells on immunostaining compared to ACLE and SCLE. Additionally, we observed a significant increase in B cell signatures in the lesional skin from patients with isolated CLE compared with similar lesions from patients with systemic lupus. This trend was driven primarily by differences in the DLE subgroup.
