POLYMYOSITIS/DERMATOMIOSITIS: DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

Научно-практическая ревматология, 2016
The lecture considers the problem of rare systemic connective tissue diseases, such as idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). It underlines the clinical and immunological heterogeneity of their subtypes, which defines therapeutic tactics and ...

T-cell anti-apoptotic mechanisms in inflammatory myopathies [PDF]

, 2000
Recent studies have shown an up-regulation of the Fas/Fas ligand system in inflammatory myopathies. In myositis, however, the major Fas-mediated cytotoxicity which activates caspases bypasses apoptosis.

Interleukin‐2 Deprived State of Regulatory T cells and Their Recovery by Low‐Dose Interleukin‐2 in Patients With Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Regeneration and expansion of Treg by low‐dose interleukin‐2 (IL‐2) therapy is considered a potential treatment strategy for a wide range of autoimmune diseases. To provide a pathophysiologically‐based rationale for low‐dose IL‐2 therapy, we investigated whether reversible defects in the Treg–IL‐2 axis emerge in inflammatory myopathies ...

Atypical presentation of anti-small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 and melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody positive dermatomyositis presenting with significant inflammatory myopathy on biopsy and normal creatine kinase levels: A case report

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are characterized by chronic inflammation of skeletal muscle. The main subtypes of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies include dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and necrotizing autoimmune myopathies.

Immune Complexes Shape the Pathogenicity of Autoantibodies in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases: Insights From an FcγRIIIA‐Reporter Assay

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Immune complexes (ICs), formed by autoantigen and autoantibody, play a pathogenic role in systemic autoimmune diseases through stimulation of Fcγ receptors (FcγR). However, studies investigating bioactivity of circulating ICs across various diseases remain limited.

T Cell Plasticity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Revealed by Large‐Scale T Cell Receptor Repertoire and Transcriptome Studies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to characterize CD4+ T cell plasticity in human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by leveraging T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire features as markers of prior lineage states, integrating TCR and transcriptomic profiling to delineate plasticity patterns and evaluate their association with clinical disease activity. Methods We used TCR
