Background: Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5-positive dermatomyositis (MDA5+ DM) with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD) is a fatal disease. Although Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) hold their promise in treating MDA5+ DM, regimen for RPILD is still urgently needed to improve the adverse prognosis.
Methods: Based on a large inception cohort of MDA5+ DM, patients with RPILD (oxygen index [OI] < 300 within the first 3 months of disease duration) were included.

Objectives: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a heterogeneous autoimmune condition needing targeted treatment approaches and improved understanding of molecular mechanisms driving clinical phenotypes. We utilised exploratory proteomics from a longitudinal North American cohort of patients with new-onset JDM to identify biological pathways at disease onset and follow-up, tissue-specific disease activity, and myositis-specific autoantibody (MSA) status.
Methods: We measured 3072 plasma proteins (Olink panel) in 56 patients with JDM within 12 weeks of starting treatment (from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry and 3 additional sites) and 8 paediatric controls.

Background: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) exhibit diverse cellular microenvironments in muscle tissues, yet the full spectrum of cell populations and changes remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize cellular heterogeneity, explore cell-cell interactions and assess the prognostic value of cell subtype abundances across IIM subtypes in Han Chinese.
Methods: Muscle samples from six IIMs and three normal controls (NC) underwent single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), whereas bulk RNA sequencing was performed on 203 IIMs and 19 NC.
