Abstrakt: Objective We aimed to clarify the clinical significance of serum levels of MMPs in interstitial lung disease (ILD) complicated with PM/DM (PM/DM-ILD). Methods We retrospectively analysed serum levels of seven subsets of MMPs in 52 PM/DM-ILD patients diagnosed at Kyoto University Hospital or Tenri Hospital from January 2005 to December 2014. The patients were sub-grouped based on the presence of anti-amimoacyl-tRNA synthetase antibody (anti-ARS antibody), anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 antibody (anti-MDA5 antibody) or lack of the antibodies (ARS-ILD, MDA5-ILD and other-ILD groups, respectively) and independently analysed. Eighteen PM/DM patients without ILD and 55 healthy control were also analysed. Associations between serum levels of MMPs and clinical findings including mortality were analysed. Results Among the MMPs analysed, MMP-7 serum levels in the ARS-ILD group were significantly higher compared with those in any of the other groups of PM/DM patients or in healthy controls. On the other hand, in the MDA5-ILD group, serum MMP-7 levels >5.08 ng/ml were associated with worse overall survival both in univariate (P = 0.017; odds ratio 18.0; 95% CI 1.69, 192.00) and multivariate (P = 0.027; odds ratio 14.60; 95% CI 1.11, 192.00) analyses. Immunohistochemical analysis suggested that MMP-7 was expressed in type II alveolar epithelial cells adjacent to the fibrotic lesions. Conclusion Serum MMP-7 levels were higher in anti-ARS antibody-positive PM/DM-ILD patients, while higher serum MMP-7 levels among anti-MDA5 antibody-positive PM/DM-ILD patients were associated with a worse prognosis. Fibrotic processes may be associated with the elevation of serum MMP-7 levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
