Abstrakt: Objective: To investigate transcriptomic and immunophenotypic features of muscle specimens from patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).
Methods: Bulk RNA-sequencing was performed on muscle biopsy samples from 16 patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and 9 patients with polymyositis (PM). Seven tested positive for anti-aminoacyl t-RNA synthetase antibodies in the DM patients (ARS-DM). We conducted weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis, and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) to assess contributions of specific pathways. Cell proportions in muscle specimens were estimated using a deconvolution approach.
Results: WGCNA revealed significant positive correlations between serum creatine kinase (CK) levels and gene modules involved in cellular respiration, phagocytosis, and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Significant positive correlations were also observed between CK levels and proportions of CD16-positive and -negative monocytes and myeloid dendritic cells. Notably, DM patients demonstrated enrichment of complement and interferon-α and -γ pathway genes compared to those with PM. Furthermore, ARS-DM demonstrated a higher proportion of Th1 cells and DEGs related to OXPHOS. Additionally, serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 levels correlated with gene modules associated with extracellular matrix and transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway.
Conclusion: Our study highlights a significant involvement of monocytes in muscle damage and delineates pathological differences among IIM subtypes. DM was characterized by complement, interferon-α and -γ signaling, whilst ARS-DM was associated with OXPHOS. Distinctive gene expression variations in muscle specimens suggest that different pathologic mechanisms underlie muscle damage in each IIM phenotype.
