IL1R1 and rheumatoid arthritis: We compared therefore an innate gene signature of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), seven key members of the interleukin (IL)1/IL1R family, and CXCL8/IL8 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from well-defined patients with active stages of RA (n = 36, DAS28 ≥ 3.2), SLE (n = 28, SLEDAI > 6), and SSc (n = 22, revised EUSTAR index > 2.25).
