<div><p>Red blood cell (RBC) alloimmunization is a clinically significant complication in transfused patients whose immunological determinants remain incompletely understood.
Description
Type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling drives RBC alloimmunization in murine models, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by constitutive IFN-I hyperactivation alongside elevated alloimmunization rates. We analyzed three publicly available SLE RNA-seq cohorts (GSE72509, GSE112087, GSE122459; whole blood and PBMC; total n = 150 SLE) in a pre-specified discovery–replication–validation design.
A 14-gene IFN-I signature score was computed per sample; differential expression, gene set enrichment analysis, and Spearman correlation were performed independently per cohort. IFN-I scores were significantly elevated in SLE versus healthy controls in all three cohorts (p < 0.01 each). IFN-high SLE patients showed 665 differentially expressed genes, with enrichment of alloimmunization-associated and plasmablast differentiation gene sets confirmed by GSEA.

The alloimmunization signature score correlated significantly with IFN-I score across all three independent cohorts (ρ = +0.77, + 0.51, + 0.60; all FDR q < 0.05); Tfh differentiation showed no association in any cohort. These findings suggest that IFN-I pathway activity in SLE is associated with an alloimmunization-prone transcriptomic landscape, To our knowledge, this represents the first human transcriptomic evidence that IFN-I pathway activity in SLE is coupled to alloimmunization-associated immune programs in vivo.
These findings identify IFN-I score as a candidate biomarker of alloimmunization susceptibility in SLE and provide translational rationale for prospective studies incorporating transfusion outcome data.</p></div>
