Autoimmune diseases affect 7.5% of the US population, and they are among the
leading causes of death and disability. A notable feature of many autoimmune
diseases is their greater prevalence in females than in males, but the underlying
mechanisms of this have remained unclear. Through the use of high-resolution
global transcriptome analyses, we demonstrated a female-biased molecular
signature associated with susceptibility to autoimmune disease and linked this to
extensive sex-dependent co-expression networks. This signature was independent of
biological age and sex-hormone regulation and was regulated by the transcription
factor VGLL3, which also had a strong female-biased expression. On a genome-wide
level, VGLL3-regulated genes had a strong association with multiple autoimmune
diseases, including lupus, scleroderma and Sjögren's syndrome, and had a
prominent transcriptomic overlap with inflammatory processes in cutaneous lupus.
These results identified a VGLL3-regulated network as a previously unknown
inflammatory pathway that promotes female-biased autoimmunity. They demonstrate
the importance of studying immunological processes in females and males
separately and suggest new avenues for therapeutic development.
