Transcriptome analysis of skeletal muscle in dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and dysferlinopathy, using a bioinformatics approach
ConclusionOverexpression of genes related to the IFN1 signaling pathway and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I formation was identified in DM and PM, respectively. In dysferlinopathy, overexpression of HSPA9 and the mTORC1 signaling pathway genes was detected. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Prominent mitochondrial pathology in a case of refractory dermatomyositis: coincidence or concause?
We report on clinical, immunological, radiological, and myopathological findings of a case of severe, treatment-refractory anti-Mi-2-positive DM.ResultsA 77-year-old woman developed anti-Mi-2 DM with severe diffuse muscle weakness associated with abundant mitochondrial abnormalities at muscle biopsy, beside the typical features of inflammatory myopathy. The patient was poorly responsive to multiple-line therapies and finally anti-JAK (anti-Janus activated kinase) was administered, leading to partial clinical improvement.DiscussionGiven the usual satisfactory treatment response and favorable outcome of anti-Mi-2 DM, we supp...
