July 2025 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study investigates the mechanisms of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), a type of scarring hair loss, by comparing human, canine, and mouse models using spatial transcriptomics. In humans, DLE is characterized by perifollicular T cell enrichment and increased expression of CXCR3 ligands, interferon-response genes, and fibrotic markers, indicating immune activation and extracellular matrix remodeling. Canine DLE shows similar immune cell infiltration and gene expression changes, supporting its use as a model for human disease. In mice, CD8+ T cells near hair follicles lead to stem cell depletion and fibrosis. Across species, shared pathways like interferon signaling and complement activation were identified, with potential therapeutic targets such as CFD and S100A8/9. These findings suggest cross-species therapeutic trials could benefit both human and veterinary medicine.
