shared gene expression profile and potential similar function between skin FCN-1+ cells in dcSSc patients and colonic Inf-Mo-like cells in CD patients. In Xue et al, bulk RNA-sequencing analysis of dcSSc skin highlighted the expression of TREM1, which was also in the list of discriminating genes identified in cluster E in the colon of CD patients (log 2 fold change >1.2, area under the curve >0.75) (3). Interestingly, colonic Inf-Mo-like cells promoted autologous Th17/Th1 responses in an interleukin-1b-dependent manner; in cluster 5, which was enriched in FCN-1+ myeloid cells, IL1B displayed differential gene expression in dcSSc skin.The precise nature and classification of FCN-1+ myeloid cells in skin and Inf-Mo-like cells in the colon remain unclear. A consensus appears to have been reached regarding their monocyte origin. Whether these 2 CD163-negative cell types that share a molecular signature can be classified as mo-DCs, Inf-Mo-like cells, inflammatory macrophages, or inflammatory DCs warrants further clarification (5). A trajectory analysis of skin FCN-1+ cells by Xue et al suggested that these cells are closely related to mo-DCs, whereas Inf-Mo-like cells in inflamed colon did not fulfill criteria to be classified as DCs. Ginhoux and colleagues argue in favor of developing detailed transcriptomic cell atlases that would integrate cellular heterogeneity and status of tissue in health and disease (6). This strategy might enable a common nomenclature to be proposed for mononuclear phagocytes. Furthermore, cells displaying a shared molecular signature with FCN-1+ cells were observed in skin blisters after acute inflammation (7), suggesting that these cells are not dcSSc-specific but characterize the cellular infiltrate in inflamed skin.We suggest that meta-analyses across different tissue (e.g., joints, heart, lungs), particularly in chronic skin inflammatory disorders that include psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, are needed before a pathogenic role or disease specificity can be attributed to a particular monocyte-derived cell type.
