Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease with multiple manifestations, with a majority of SLE patients having cutaneous involvement. Despite ongoing research, the relationship between SLE and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) pathogeneses remains unknown. This review will compare advances in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of SLE and CLE. Recently, mechanisms by which immune cell populations contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE and CLE have been queried. Studies have pointed to transitional B cells and BAFF signaling as potential drivers of SLE and CLE, with belimumab clinical data supporting these hypotheses. Ustekinumab trials and an exciting Treg adoptive transfer in an SLE patient with cutaneous disease have suggested a role for T cell-targeted therapies. The theory that neutrophil NETs may be a source of autoantigens in SLE remains controversial, while neutrophils have been suggested as early drivers of cutaneous disease. Finally, plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) have been studied as a potential therapeutic target in SLE, and anti-BDCA antibody clinical trials have shown promise in treating cutaneous disease. While recent findings have contributed to understanding SLE and CLE pathogenesis, the mechanistic link between these diseases remains an area requiring further research.
