We previously proposed that interferon-α plays a crucial role in premature vascular damage in SLE. IFN-α alters the balance between endothelial cell apoptosis and vascular repair mediated by endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and myeloid circulating angiogenic cells (CACs). Here we demonstrate that IFN-α promotes an antiangiogenic signature in SLE and control EPCs/CACs, characterized by transcriptional repression of IL-1α and β, IL-1 receptor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and upregulation of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RN) and the decoy receptor IL1-R2. IL-1β promotes significant improvement in the functional capacity of lupus EPCs/CACs, therefore abrogating the deleterious effects of IFN-α. We used microarrays to analyze the effect of IFNα on peripheral blood EPCs/CACs and on bone marrow EPCs exposed to proangiogenic stimulation. Human lupus EPCs and CACs from PBMCs were isolated and cultured under proangiogenic stimulation; after IFNa incubation or not, RNA was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Healthy EPCs, lupus EPCs and healthy bone marrow EPCs were normalized separately. ID_REF = VALUE = Log base 2 normalized expression value Biotinylated cRNA were prepared according to the standard Affymetrix protocol from total RNA (Expression Analysis Technical Manual, Affymetrix). Standard Affymetrix protocol (GeneChip Expression Analysis Technical Manual). Cells were incubated in the presence or absence of IFNa for 6 hours prior to RNA harvesting. PBMCs containing EPCs and CACs were cultured in endothelial cell-specific enrichment medium on fibronectin-coated wells. Total RNA was isolated with Tri-pure (Roche), and further purified and concentrated using an Rneasy kit (Qiagen). GeneChips were scanned using the Affymetrix 3000 7G GeneChip Scanner with Autoloader.
