Although traditionally characterized by autoantibody production and immune complex mediated tissue injury, advances in genomics, systems immunology, and multi-omics profiling have revealed that lupus represents a multilayered failure of immune homeostasis driven by interconnected molecular circuits. Genetic variants enriched in regulatory immune enhancers establish a permissive transcriptional landscape that sensitizes innate nucleic acid sensing pathways and interferon signaling. Epigenetic remodeling further amplifies inflammatory transcriptional programs, while environmental triggers such as ultraviolet radiation and viral infection initiate bursts of nucleic acid release and immune activation. Defective apoptotic cell clearance, mediated in part by scavenger receptor dysfunction and complement abnormalities, increases the availability of immunogenic nucleic acids that engage pattern recognition receptors and drive chronic type I interferon production. This interferon-dominated environment rewires immune cell metabolism, alters differentiation trajectories of T and B lymphocytes, and sustains autoreactive immune circuits. Emerging multi-omics studies reveal distinct molecular endotypes defined by interferon signatures, metabolic states, and immune cell composition, highlighting the heterogeneity of disease mechanisms across patients. In this review, we integrate genetic, epigenetic, metabolic, and immunological insights to propose a systems-level model of lupus pathogenesis in which defective debris clearance, nucleic acid sensing, interferon amplification, and metabolic reprograming form a self-reinforcing pathogenic network. Understanding this integrated molecular architecture provides a foundation for biomarker-guided therapeutic strategies and precision medicine approaches aimed at disrupting the key nodes that sustain chronic autoimmunity in SLE.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27104552","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]],"date-time":"2026-05-19T11:53:10Z","timestamp":1779191590000},"page":"4552","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From Genes to Pathways: The Molecular Landscape of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Romana","family":"Rashid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, 364 Plantation St. LRB319, Worcester, MA 01605, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0253-0473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zaida G.","family":"Ramirez-Ortiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, 364 Plantation St. LRB319, Worcester, MA 01605, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2110","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1100359","article-title":"Systemic lupus erythematosus","volume":"365","author":"Tsokos","year":"2011","journal-title":"N.
