Show abstract
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of rare diseases characterized by recurrent or continuous inflammation, typically accompanied by genetic variants. Good responses to anti-TNF therapy were observed in SAIDs patients. However, the mechanisms underlying the disease flare and the response to TNF blocking therapy have not been fully elucidated. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing technology to describe the transcriptomic profile of PBMCs and PMNs in SAIDs patients both before and after anti-TNF treatment. We found that interferon responses are involved in the active phase of the disease. After anti-TNF therapy, we observed remission from clinical symptoms while unexpected elevation of TNF and IL-1, indicating that these inflammatory cytokines are not positively correlated with disease activity. Trajectory analysis showed that inhibition of macrophage differentiation, rather than reduction of the inflammatory cytokines, as the potential mechanism of anti-TNF treatment response in SAIDs.
