Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease characterized by damage to small and large vessels, inflammation, autoimmune disease, and tissue remodeling. This article analyzes the properties of the Siglec-1 biomarker in the immunological processes of systemic scleroderma. Siglec-1 is a type of lectin that binds to sialic acids, which plays an important role in the immune system and inflammatory processes. In systemic scleroderma, cells that highly express this biomarker, macrophages and dendritic cells, are important in controlling the inflammatory and fibrotic processes in the development of the disease. The diagnostic and prognostic properties of Siglec-1 help in identifying and predicting the early stages of the disease. Also, the therapeutic potential of Siglec-1 opens up the possibility of developing new treatments to modulate autoimmune inflammation in systemic scleroderma and prevent the development of fibrosis.
