Interferon lambda promotes immune dysregulation and tissue inflammation in TLR7-induced lupus [scRNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Interferon lambdas share important functional similarities with type I interferons, but their role in inflammation and autoimmune disease remains controversial and is not well studied. Here, we present the first evidence that interferon lambda is pathogenic and has nonredundant functions in TLR7-associated lupus inflammation. Most notably, we found that interferon lambda promotes systemic immune dysregulation through localized effects in the skin and kidneys. These data identify a novel role for interferon lambda in lupus immunobiology and tissue-specific pathology.
