| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2019. Published by Elsevier Inc. Recent data suggest an important role of type I interferons (IFN) in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Here we aimed to evaluate the interplay of type I and type III (or IFNλs) IFNs in APS and potential clinical and serological associations. Our findings suggest that patients with primary APS (PAPS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/APS displayed increased type I IFN scores but decreased IFNλ1 gene expression levels compared to healthy individuals, as assessed with real-time qPCR analysis in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Type I IFN score/IFNλ1 ratio was remarkably higher in patients with PAPS and SLE/APS as well as in SLE patients with or without antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) vs controls. In conclusion, our results reveal an association between low IFNλ1 expression and obstetric APS. Moreover, the type I IFN score/IFNλ1 ratio seems to be a potential marker of high risk APS given its associations with triple aPL positivity |
