Authors' conclusion

Our data suggest that serum CXCL10 and CXCL11 reflect the inflammatory burden of DM.

Study context

Population
Patients with dermatomyositis (DM), with or without ILD, and healthy controls
Participants
32 / 16 / 19
Comparison
DM vs DM-ILD vs healthy controls
  • DMn = 32
  • DM-ILDn = 16
  • Healthy controlsn = 19reference
Methodological detailsOlink proteomic analysis, skin transcriptomic analysis, follow-up validation, immunofluorescence
  • Olink proteomic analysis
  • Skin transcriptomic analysis
  • Follow-up validation
  • Immunofluorescence

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Serum proteomics showed an inflammatory signature of DM; GO and KEGG enrichment identified chemotaxis-related pathways
  • Skin transcriptomics: upregulated inflammatory responses and M1 macrophage infiltration in DM
  • CXCL10 and CXCL11 highly associated with immune infiltration and DM progression
