Effect of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) therapy in the survival of patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5-related rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease: a retrospective analysis. Clin Rheumatol 2024; 43:1135-1143. [PMID: 38289569 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-024-06872-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impacts of high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) therapy in survival and the occurrences of treatment-related infection of patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-related rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (MDA5-RPILD). METHODS Patients with MDA5-RPILD from June 2017 to August 2022 in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. IVMP therapy was defined as intravenous methylprednisolone (mPSL) 0.5g/day for 3 consecutive days during hospitalization or 7 days prior to admission and patients were divided into IVMP group and non-IVMP group based on who had ever received IVMP therapy. All-cause mortality and the incidence of adverse events during treatment were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Sixty-four patients with MDA5-RPILD were enrolled. Among them, twenty-three (35.9%) patients had ever received IVMP therapy. The overall mortality was comparable between IVMP and non-IVMP group (IVMP group: 22/23, 95.7% vs. non-IVMP group: 38/41, 92.7%, p=0.11). And the incidence of treatment-related infections was also close (IVMP group: 21/23, 91.3% vs. non-IVMP group: 32/41, 78.0%, p=0.30). After adjustment for gender, age, smoking history, duration from symptom onset to diagnosis, and combination with steroid-sparing agent treatment, the Cox proportional hazards model showed that IVMP therapy was not associated with an improved survival (adjusted HR 1.10; 95% CI 0.57-2.13; p=0.77). CONCLUSION Our study showed that the survival benefits and adverse events were comparable between IVMP-treated and untreated MDA5-RPILD patients. Future prospective trials are needed to investigate the optimal treatment regimen in MDA5-RPILD. Key Points • This observational study found that IVMP therapy may be not associated with an improved outcome in patients with MDA5-RPILD. • Treatment-related infections are common; however, the incidence of treatment-related infections had no difference between IVMP and non-IVMP group.

The prevalence and effects of treatments of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease of dermatomyositis/polymyositis adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Autoimmun Rev 2023; 22:103335. [PMID: 37164215 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2023.103335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) clearly harms the prognoses of dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM) patients, however there is a dearth of numerical prevalence and therapy comparison in this field. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of RP-ILD in DM/PM patients and compare prognoses, including remission rate and survival data, between treatments. Studies with reports of RP-ILD in DM/PM patients and studies with definite remission and/or survival data of DM/PM-RP-ILD were included in the study. Data sources were Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library without language restrictions. Two authors (WHL and WWQ) extracted independently the data. Estimates of the pooled effects were calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel technique (random effects). The prevalence meta-analysis included 18 papers with 6058 DM/PM patients, and 31 papers were analyzed for treatment effects, including remission rate, 6-month survival rate, 1-year survival rate, and 5-year survival rate. Database search yielded 1816 articles. In the DM/PM population, the combined prevalence of RP-ILD was 8.9% (95% CI, 5.8% to 12.1%). Patients with RP-ILD have a remission rate of 58.4% (95% CI, 47.3% to 69.4%), with biologic treatment with the highest remission rate, followed by triple therapy (defined as adding a third intravenous medication, including cyclophosphamide and immunoglobulin). Biologics therapy had the highest overall survival rate at six months (95% CI, 49.8% to 73.9%), followed by cDMARDs, plasma exchange, and triple therapy. The 1-year survival rate was 77.4% (95% CI, 66.7% to 88.1%), and triple therapy and cDMARDs had the best survival rates. The 5-year survival rate was 40.0% (95% CI, 10.0% to 69.9%). The prevalence of RP-ILD in DM/PM was approximately 8.9%, with a poor long-term prognosis. The use of biological agents appears to provide the best therapeutic outcomes, providing RP-ILD management with a novel evidence-based therapy. The use of strong immunosuppressive treatments may result in life-threatening side effects, thus clinicians must closely monitor the condition.

Clin Rheumatol 2023:10.1007/s10067-023-06624-6. [PMID: 37160775 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-023-06624-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the immune response-related protein profiling in plasma of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), especially in anti-MDA5+ dermatomyositis (DM). METHODS A total of 166 IIM patients and 107 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in our study. Ninety-two plasma immune response-related proteins were detected by Olink proteomics in 36 IIM patients and 25 HCs. The expression of plasma KRT19 was validated in another 130 IIM patients, 82 HCs, and 55 other rheumatic diseases. RESULTS A total of 46 differentially expressed proteins were detected, including 12 upregulated proteins and 34 downregulated proteins in IIM patients compared with HCs. Pathway analysis revealed lactoferrin danger signal response pathway, TLR4 signaling and tolerance, infection, and IL-10 signaling pathway were activated. The immune response-related protein profiling significantly altered in anti-MDA5+ DM patients, with LAMP3, HSD11B1, and KRT19 significantly increased, while SH2D1A, ITGA11, TRIM21, CD28, ITGB6, and HEXIM1 tremendously decreased. In addition, KRT19 was significantly increased in IIM patients, especially in anti-MDA5+ DM patients with the diagnostic value of a significant area under the ROC curve of 0.881. CONCLUSION Immune response-related proteins are significantly altered in patients with anti-MDA5+ DM patients. KRT19 could be a potential biomarker for anti-MDA5+ DM patients. Key Points • What is already known on this topic? Anti-MDA5+ DM is a distinctive subtype of IIM. Plasma immune response-related proteins panel needs to be investigated. • What this study adds? Plasma protein profiling of immune response-related proteins significantly altered in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), especially in anti-MDA5+ DM patients. • How this study might affect research, practice, or policy? KRT19 could be a potential biomarker in patients with anti-MDA5+ dermatomyositis.

Abstract
Systemic autoimmune myopathies (SAMs) are rare diseases that lead to muscle inflammation and may be associated with a variety of systemic manifestations. Although there is great heterogeneity in the spectrum of extra-muscular involvement in SAMs, interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the most frequent lung manifestation. SAM-related ILD (SAM-ILD) presents significant variations according to geographic location and temporal trends and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Several myositis autoantibodies have been discovered over the last decades, including antibodies targeting aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzymes, which are associated with a variable risk of developing ILD and a myriad of other clinical features. In this review, the most relevant topics regarding clinical manifestations, risk factors, diagnostic tests, autoantibodies, treatment, and prognosis of SAM-ILD are highlighted. We searched PubMed for relevant articles published in English, Portuguese, or Spanish from January 2002 to September 2022. The most common SAM-ILD patterns are nonspecific interstitial pneumonia and organizing pneumonia. The combination of clinical, functional, laboratory, and tomographic features is usually sufficient for diagnostic confirmation, without the need for additional invasive methods. Glucocorticoids remain the first-line treatment for SAM-ILD, although other traditional immunosuppressants, such as azathioprine, mycophenolate, and cyclophosphamide have demonstrated some efficacy and, therefore, have an important role as steroid-sparing agents.

Abstract
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are rare disorders characterised by the presence of skeletal muscle inflammation, with interstitial lung disease (ILD) being the most frequent pulmonary manifestation. The spectrum of clinical presentations of myositis related ILD (M-ILD) encompasses a chronic process to a rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD); which is associated with a high mortality rate. The most effective treatments remain controversial and poses a unique challenge to both rheumatologists and respiratory physicians to manage. Given the rare heterogenous nature of M-ILD, there is a paucity of data to guide treatment. The cornerstone of existing treatments encompasses combinations of immunosuppressive therapies, as well as non-pharmacological therapies. In this review, we aim to summarize the current pharmacological therapies (including its dosing regimens and side effects profiles) and non-pharmacological therapies. Based on the existing literature to date, we propose a treatment algorithm for both chronic M-ILD and RP-ILD.

Abstract
The role of immunity in the pathogenesis of various pulmonary diseases, particularly interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), is being increasingly appreciated as mechanistic discoveries advance our knowledge in the field. Immune-mediated lung diseases demonstrate clinical and immunological heterogeneity and can be etiologically categorized into connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated, exposure-related, idiopathic, and other miscellaneous lung diseases including sarcoidosis, and post-lung transplant ILD. The immunopathogenesis of many of these diseases remains poorly defined and possibly involves either immune dysregulation, abnormal healing, chronic inflammation, or a combination of these, often in a background of genetic susceptibility. The heterogeneity and complex immunopathogenesis of ILDs complicate management, and thus a collaborative treatment team should work toward an individualized approach to address the unique needs of each patient. Current management of immune-mediated lung diseases is challenging; the choice of therapy is etiology-driven and includes corticosteroids, immunomodulatory drugs such as methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab, or other measures such as discontinuation or avoidance of the inciting agent in exposure-related ILDs. Antifibrotic therapy is approved for some of the ILDs (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) and is being investigated for many others and has shown promising preliminary results. A dire need for advances in the management of immune-mediated lung disease persists in the absence of standardized management guidelines.

Abstract
Anti-MDA5 antibody dermatomyositis (DM) is a special type of myositis, which can potentially cause rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a complex disease with different characteristics of autoimmune connective tissue disease, associated with ILD. Both are rare diseases, and few patients with both diseases have been reported. A 71-year-old woman complained of palpitations, with a 2 months history of rash around her hands, extensor surface of right elbow, and the nape of her neck. Subsequently, the patient had acute exacerbation of dyspnea and tachypnea. Anti-Ro52, U1 RNP and MDA5 antibodies were positive; the presenting evidence was suggestive of anti-MDA5+ DM-RP-ILD complicated with MCTD. Our patient deteriorated rapidly and had a fatal outcome, despite "triple therapy" for RP-ILD. This case illustrates that patients with coexisting anti-MDA5+ DM and MCTD have the former's typical clinical manifestations, and may develop ILD quickly rather than slowly as in MCTD, especially with the coexistence of anti-Ro52 antibodies.

Abstract
Introduction Myositis associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) seems to be an under-recognized entity. Methods In this multicenter, retrospective study, we recorded between 9/12/2019 and 30/9/2021 consecutive patients who presented in five different ILD centers from two European countries (Greece, France) and received a multidisciplinary diagnosis of myositis associated-ILD. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality over 1 year in specific subgroups of patients. Secondary outcomes included comparison of disease characteristics between patients diagnosed with the amyopathic subtype and patients with evidence of myopathy at diagnosis. Results We identified 75 patients with myositis associated-ILD. Median age (95% CI) at the time of diagnosis was 64.0 (61.0-65.0) years. Antinuclear antibody testing was positive in 40% of the cohort (n = 30/75). Myopathy onset occurred first in 40.0% of cases (n = 30), ILD without evidence of myopathy occurred in 29 patients (38.7%), while 16 patients (21.3%) were diagnosed concomitantly with ILD and myopathy. The commonest radiographic pattern was cellular non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and was observed in 29 patients (38.7%). The radiographic pattern of organizing pneumonia was significantly more common in patients diagnosed with the amyopathic subtype compared to patients that presented with myopathy [24.1% (n = 7/29) vs. 6.5% (n = 3/46), p = 0.03]. One year survival was 86.7% in the overall population. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated significantly higher all-cause 1-year mortality in patients with the amyopathic subtype compared to patients with evidence of myopathy [H R 4.24 (95% CI: 1.16-15.54), p = 0.03]. Patients diagnosed following hospitalization due to acute respiratory failure experienced increased risk of 1-year all-cause mortality compared to patients diagnosed in outpatient setting [HR 6.70 (95% CI: 1.19-37.81), p = 0.03]. Finally, patients with positive anti-MDA5 presented with higher 1-year all-cause mortality compared to anti-MDA5 negative patients [HR 28.37 (95% CI: 5.13-157.01), p = 0.0001]. Conclusion Specific ILD radiographic patterns such as NSIP and organizing pneumonia may herald underlying inflammatory myopathies. Hospitalized patients presenting with bilateral organizing pneumonia refractory to antibiotics should be meticulously evaluated for myositis associated-ILD even if there is no overt muscular involvement. Incorporation of ILD radiological patterns in the diagnostic criteria of inflammatory myopathies may lead to timely therapeutic interventions and positively impact patients' survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (anti-MDA5) antibodies in patients with dermatomyositis are associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Computed tomography (CT) plays a central role in the diagnosis of RP-ILD and may help characterize the temporal changes. METHODS We report five anti-MDA5-positive dermatomyositis patients with serial CT scans spanning their acute RP-ILD disease course. RESULTS Our case series highlights the variable imaging pattern that can manifest in this setting, including diffuse alveolar damage and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia patterns. Three patients in our series died within 4 months of their disease onset, whereas the other two patients survived. CONCLUSION The serial CT changes in anti-MDA5 disease are dynamic and variable; therefore, it is imperative to maintain a broad differential when faced with these HRCT patterns to improve the diagnosis and management of this underrecognized entity.

Abstract
In patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) complicating classical or amyopathic idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), lung transplantation outcomes might be affected by the disease and treatments. Here, our objective was to assess survival and prognostic factors in lung transplant recipients with IIM-ILD. We retrospectively reviewed data for 64 patients who underwent lung transplantation between 2009 and 2021 at 19 European centers. Patient survival was the primary outcome. At transplantation, the median age was 53 [46-59] years, 35 (55%) patients were male, 31 (48%) had classical IIM, 25 (39%) had rapidly progressive ILD, and 21 (33%) were in a high-priority transplant allocation program. Survival rates after 1, 3, and 5 years were 78%, 73%, and 70%, respectively. During follow-up (median, 33 [7-63] months), 23% of patients developed chronic lung allograft dysfunction. Compared to amyopathic IIM, classical IIM was characterized by longer disease duration, higher-intensity immunosuppression before transplantation, and significantly worse posttransplantation survival. Five (8%) patients had a clinical IIM relapse, with mild manifestations. No patient experienced ILD recurrence in the allograft. Posttransplantation survival in IIM-ILD was similar to that in international all-cause-transplantation registries. The main factor associated with worse survival was a history of muscle involvement (classical IIM). In lung transplant recipients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, survival was similar to that in all-cause transplantation and was worse in patients with muscle involvement compared to those with the amyopathic disease.

Abstract
Background Rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) is a significant complication that determines the prognosis of dermatomyositis (DM). Early RP-ILD diagnosis can improve screening and diagnostic efficiency and provide meaningful guidance to carry out early and aggressive treatment. Methods A retrospective screening of 284 patients with DM was performed. Clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patients were recorded. The risk factors of RP-ILD in DM patients were screened by logistic regression (LR) and machine learning methods, and the prediction models of RP-ILD were developed by machine learning methods, namely least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), random forest (RF), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). Results According to the result of univariate LR, disease duration is a protective factor for RP-ILD, and ESR, CRP, anti-Ro-52 antibody and anti-MDA5 antibody are risk factors for RP-ILD. The top 10 important variables of the 3 machine learning models were intersected to obtain common important variables, and there were 5 common important variables, namely disease duration, LDH, CRP, anti-Ro-52 antibody and anti-MDA5 antibody. The AUC of LASSO, RF and XGBoost test set were 0.661, 0.667 and 0.867, respectively. We further validated the performance of these three models on validation set, and the results showed that, the AUC of LASSO, RF and XGBoost were 0.764, 0.727 and 0.909, respectively. Based on the results of the models, XGBoost is the optimal model in this study. Conclusion Disease duration, LDH, CRP, anti-Ro-52 antibody and anti-MDA5 antibody are vital risk factors for RP-ILD in DM. The prediction model constructed using XGBoost can be used for risk identification and early intervention in DM patients with RP-ILD and practical application.

Abstract
Objective In the current study, we aimed to assess resistin mRNA levels in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of dermatomyositis patients with interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD) and their correlation with disease activity. Methods We detected resistin mRNA levels in the PBMCs of 37 DM-ILD, 8 DM patients without ILD, and 19 healthy control (HC) subjects by performing quantitative reverse transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. Associations between resistin expression levels and major clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and disease activity were also analyzed. In addition, resistin expression in lung specimens from patients with DM-ILD was examined via immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Results Resistin mRNA levels in PBMCs were significantly higher in DM-ILD than that in DM patients without ILD and HCs (p = 0.043, 0.014, respectively). Among these DM-ILD patients, the resistin levels were significantly elevated in those with rapidly progressive ILD than in those with chronic ILD (p = 0.012). The resistin mRNA levels in DM-ILD positively correlated with serum alanine aminotransferase (r = 0.476, p = 0.003), aspartate aminotransferase (r = 0.488, p = 0.002), lactate dehydrogenase (r = 0.397, p = 0.014), C-reactive protein (r = 0.423, p = 0.008), ferritin (r = 0.468, p = 0.003), carcinoembryonic antigen (r = 0.416, p = 0.011), carbohydrate antigen 125 (r = 0.332, p = 0.047), interleukin-18 (r = 0.600, p < 0.001), and lung visual analog scale values (r = 0.326, p = 0.048), but negatively correlated with the diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (DLco)% (r = −0.447, p = 0.041). Immunohistochemical analysis of resistin showed its elevated expression in the macrophages, alveolar epithelial cells, and weak fibrotic lesions from patients with DM-ILD. Immunofluorescence staining confirmed CD68+ macrophages co-express resistin. Conclusions Resistin levels were increased in patients with DM-ILD and associated with disease activity and ILD severity. Therefore, resistin may participate in the pathogenesis of DM-ILD and may act as a useful biomarker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) autoantibodies have been associated with a high frequency of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD) in dermatomyositis (DM) patients, mainly in Asian subjects. However, there is scarce information about these parameters in Latin American patients. METHOD This was a medical records review cohort study that included classic DM (CDM) and clinically amyopathic DM (CADM) patients from 3 Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico). RESULTS A total of 270 DM patients were evaluated: 25.9% with CADM and 74.1% with CDM. The overall prevalence of ILD and RP-ILD, respectively, was 70 (25.9%) and 4 (1.5%) of the 270 patients, and the distributions were comparable between patients with CDM and CADM. The anti-MDA5 was present in 31 (25.4%) of 122 CDM patients and in 17 (48.6%) of 35 CADM patients; it was not associated with presence of ILD and RP-ILD. However, anti-MDA5-positive CDM patients had significantly high frequency of "mechanic's hands," arthralgia, arthritis, and lower serum levels of creatine phosphokinase, whereas anti-MDA5-positive CADM patients had significantly high frequency of arthritis. Pulmonary infection and ILD are main causes of death in DM patients. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, the prevalence of ILD in DM patients is comparable to that described in the literature, in contrast to the very low frequency of RP-ILD. In addition, the anti-MDA5 is not associated with ILD and RP-ILD, but anti-MDA5-positive DM patients present conditions that mimic antisynthetase syndrome. Pulmonary infection and ILD were the main causes of death in our sample.

Tumor markers are associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in adult-dermatomyositis. Clin Rheumatol 2022; 41:1731-1739. [PMID: 35138465 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-022-06089-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES DM-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (DM-RP-ILD) has been the clinical conundrum. We assess the serum levels of tumor markers (TMs) in different types of ILD, and explore the diagnostic utility of TMs for DM/ADM-RP-ILD. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study, data including clinical and laboratory records were collected from the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2015, to June 2020. Tumor markers (TMs) include CEA, CA153, CA724, CA125, and CA199. Spearman analysis, ROC, and Kaplan-Meier curve were used for data analysis. RESULTS Total 272 patients (149 DM and 123 ADM) were enrolled, 152 (55.88%) with ILD (116 with chronic ILD, 36 with RP-ILD) and 120 (44.12%) without ILD among them. The serum levels of CEA and ferritin were significantly higher in patients with RP-ILD than in the other two groups. Serum CA125, CA199, and CA153 levels in patients with RP-ILD were higher than those without ILD. CEA levels were associated with the ferritin, KL-6 and anti-MDA5 levels, and CEA concentration was significantly negatively correlated with DLco (P = 0.016, R2 = - 0.281). CEA [AUC = 0.7, 95% CI = (0.594, 0.806)] and ferritin [AUC = 0.737, 95% CI = (0.614, 0.860)] had diagnosed value for patients developing RP-ILD. Patients with high serum CEA levels had higher mortality rate within the DM-ILD population. CONCLUSIONS TMs and ferritin were increased in DM/ADM-RP-ILD, and serum CEA and CA153 levels can evaluate disease severity of DM. And CEA and ferritin can be used as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for patients with DM-RP-ILD. Key Points • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a serious complication of DM, and is a leading cause of mortality, especially rapidly progressive ILD. • Tumor markers as a kind of noninvasive detection can reflect the disease severity of DM, and CEA and ferritin can be used to identify patients with RP-ILD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Interstitial lung disease (ILD), one of the most common extramuscular manifestations of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), carries a poor prognosis. Myositis-specific autoantibody (MSA)-positivity is a key finding for IIM diagnosis. We aimed to identify IIM-associated lung patterns, evaluate potential CT-ILD finding-MSA relationships, and assess intra- and interobserver reproducibility in a large IIM population. METHODS All consecutive IIM patients (2003-2019) were included. Two chest radiologists retrospectively assessed all chest CT scans. Multiple correspondence and hierarchical cluster analyses of CT findings identified and characterized ILD-patient subgroups. Classification and regression-tree analyses highlighted CT-scan variables predicting three patterns. Three independent radiologists read CT scans twice to assign patients according to CT-ILD-pattern clusters. RESULTS Among 257 IIM patients, 94 (36.6%) had ILDs; 87 (93%) of them were MSA-positive. ILD-IIM distribution was 54 (57%) ASyS, 21 (22%) DM, 15 (16%) IMNM, and 4 (4%) IBM. Cluster analysis identified three ILD-patient subgroups. Consolidation characterized cluster 1, with significantly (p < 0.05) more frequent anti-MDA5-autoantibody-positivity. Significantly more cluster-2 patients had a reticular pattern, without cysts and with few consolidations. All cluster-3 patients had cysts and anti-PL12 autoantibodies. Clusters 2 and 3 included significantly more ASyS patients. Intraobserver concordances to classify patients into those three clusters were good-to-excellent (Cohen κ 0.64-0.81), with good interobserver reliability (Fleiss's κ 0.56). CONCLUSION Despite the observed IIM heterogeneity, CT-scan criteria enabled ILD assignment to the three clusters, which were associated with MSAs. Radiologist identification of those clusters could facilitate diagnostic screening and therapeutics. Interstitial lung disease in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy could be classified into three clusters according to CT-scan criteria, and these clusters were significantly associated with myositis-specific autoantibodies. KEY POINTS • Cluster analysis discerned three homogeneous groups of interstitial lung disease (ILD) for which cysts, consolidations, and reticular pattern were discriminatory, and associated with myositis-specific autoantibodies. • Like muscle- and extramuscular-specific phenotypes, myositis-specific autoantibodies are also associated with specific ILD patterns in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.

Abstract
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a relatively frequent manifestation of systemic autoimmune rheumatic disorders (SARDs), including systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis. Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) has been proposed to describe patients with ILD who have clinical or serological findings compatible with SARDs but they are not sufficient for a definite diagnosis. ILD may present with different patterns among patients with SARDs, but most commonly as nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), with the exception of RA and ANCA vasculitis that more often present with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). The natural history of ILD is quite variable, even among patients with the same SARD. It may present with subclinical features following a slow progressively course or with acute manifestations and clinically significant rapid progression leading to severe deterioration of pulmonary function and respiratory failure. The radiographic pattern of ILD, the extent of the disease, the baseline pulmonary function, the pulmonary function deterioration rate over time and clinical variables related to the primary SARD, such as age, sex and the clinical phenotype, are considered prognostic factors for SARDs-ILD associated with adverse outcomes and increased mortality. Different modalities can be employed for ILD detection including clinical evaluation, pulmonary function tests, high resolution computed tomography and novel techniques such as lung ultrasound and serum biomarkers. ILD may determine the clinical outcome of SARDs, since it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and therefore screening of patients with SARDs for ILD is of great clinical importance.

Abstract
Background Interstitial lung disease (ILD) and its rapid progression (RP) are the main contributors to unfavourable outcomes of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). This study aimed to identify the clinical value of PET/CT scans in IIM-ILD patients and to construct a predictive model for RP-ILD. Methods Adult IIM-ILD patients who were hospitalized at four divisions of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (FAHZJU), from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020 were reviewed. PET/CT scans and other characteristics of patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were collected and analysed. Results A total of 61 IIM-ILD patients were enrolled in this study. Twenty-one patients (34.4%) developed RP-ILD, and 24 patients (39.3%) died during follow-up. After false discovery rate (FDR) correction, the percent-predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO%, P = 0.014), bilateral lung mean standard uptake value (SUVmean, P = 0.014) and abnormal mediastinal lymph node (P = 0.045) were significantly different between the RP-ILD and non-RP-ILD groups. The subsequent univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses verified our findings. A “DLM” model was established by including the above three values to predict RP-ILD with a cut-off value of ≥ 2 and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.905. Higher bilateral lung SUVmean (P = 0.019) and spleen SUVmean (P = 0.011) were observed in IIM-ILD patients who died within 3 months, and a moderate correlation was recognized between the two values. Conclusions Elevated bilateral lung SUVmean, abnormal mediastinal lymph nodes and decreased DLCO% were significantly associated with RP-ILD in IIM-ILD patients. The “DLM” model was valuable in predicting RP-ILD and requires further validation.

Abstract
With the goal of protecting injured lungs and extrapulmonary organs, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has been increasingly adopted as a rescue therapy for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) when conventional mechanical ventilation failed to provide effective oxygenation and decarbonation. In recent years, it has become a promising approach to respiratory support for awake, non-intubated, spontaneously breathing patients with respiratory failure, referred to as awake ECMO, to avoid possible detrimental effects associated with intubation, mechanical ventilation, and the adjunctive therapies. However, several complex clinical issues should be taken into consideration when initiating and implementing awake ECMO, such as selecting potential patients who appeared to benefit most; techniques to facilitating cannulation and maintain stable ECMO blood flow; approaches to manage pain, agitation, and delirium; and approaches to monitor and modulate respiratory drive. It is worth mentioning that there had also been some inherent disadvantages and limitations of awake ECMO compared to the conventional combination of ECMO and invasive mechanical ventilation. Here, we review the use of ECMO in awake, spontaneously breathing patients with severe ARDS, highlighting the issues involving bedside clinical practice, detailing some of the technical aspects, and summarizing the initial clinical experience gained over the past years.

Abstract
CASE PRESENTATION A 12-year-old girl presented with shortness of breath with exercise for 2 weeks. Her oxygen saturation was 85% during exercise. Birth and family histories were unremarkable. The girl was healthy until 7.1 years of age, when she suffered a "pneumonia" with fever, dyspnea, and hypoxemia, which diminished after a 19-day treatment with antibiotics and methylprednisolone. These symptoms relapsed 8 months later, and she was diagnosed with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) and a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. At that time, her symptoms failed to respond to a course of antibiotic therapy but resolved with IV methylprednisolone at 2.7 mg/kg/day. She remained on a tapering dose of methylprednisolone plus methotrexate for the next 18 months until withdrawal of these medications because of return of almost normal lung imaging. She had never had myalgia, muscle weakness, arthritis, rashes, mechanic's hands, Raynaud's phenomenon, dry mouth, or dry eyes.

Abstract
To study the demographic, clinical and serologic characteristics of anti-MDA5-positive DM from two geographically and ethnically disparate inception cohorts in India. To identify the clinical and serological parameters at inception that could predict mortality among these individuals. Individuals with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive DM diagnosed between 2017 and 2020 from two centres in India were prospectively followed up. The clinical and serological characteristics at baseline and the treatment outcome at follow-up were assessed for this study. Anti-MDA5 antibody was positive in 25 (7.5%) out of the 330 individuals with myositis. These 25 (21 adults, 4 juvenile) patients were followed up for a median duration of 14 months. Among adults, a majority had cutaneous manifestations 21 (84%) followed by, arthritis 17 (80%), and interstitial lung disease 12 (ILD, 57.1%). Four (19%) had rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD). Eight (38%) presented as clinically amyopathic DM. Among cutaneous manifestations, majority (62%) had classic features (gottron's papules/sign, heliotrope rash) while 8 (38%) had cutaneous ulceration and 2 each had periorbital edema and tendon rupture. Eight (38%) were positive for anti-Ro-52 antibody. Out of 21 adults, 8 (38%) succumbed to the diseases. RP-ILD (n = 4; 19%), ulcerative gottron's (n = 5) and anti-Ro-52 (n = 8) were significantly associated with mortality (p < 0.05). Upon binary logistic regression, positive anti-Ro-52 antibody predicted mortality [HR 17.3 (95%CI 1.4-210, p = 0.025)]. All juvenile anti-MDA5-positive DMs had classic cutaneous features with 2 of them having ulcerative gottron's. None of the juvenile patients had ILD and everyone survived till the last follow-up. Indian adults with anti-MDA5 DM have high mortality. Rarer atypical features like tendon rupture or periorbital edema could assist in diagnosis. Ulcerative gottron's, positive anti-Ro 52 antibodies, and RP-ILD are valuable clinical-serological markers that portend poor prognosis.

Abstract
Melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibody-positive dermatomyositis (DM) displays unique cutaneous and pathologic features. We describe two cases of myositis-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). The patients were two women from Kerala, India. Both patients had anti-MDA5 antibody-positive myositis. Both patients presented with RP-ILD without any clinical features of myositis and succumbed to their illness despite aggressive medical treatment. Anti-MDA5-antibody-positive DM is characterised by amyopathic disease with rapidly progressive and fatal ILD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate upstream and downstream regulators leading to macrophage activation and subsequent cytokine storm in patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS We conducted an integrated miRNA-mRNA association analysis using circulating monocytes from 3 patients with anti-MDA5-associated ILD and 3 healthy controls and identified disease pathways and a regulator effect network by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). The expression of relevant genes and proteins was verified using an independent validation cohort, including 6 patients with anti-MDA5-associated ILD, 5 with anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase antibody-associated ILD, and 6 healthy controls. RESULTS IPA identified 26 matched pairs of downregulated miRNA and upregulated mRNAs and revealed that canonical pathways mediated by type I IFN signaling and C-C motif ligand 2 (CCL2) were responsible for the pathogenic process (P < 0.05 for all pathways). The regulatory network model identified IFN-β; Toll-like receptors 3, 7, and 9; and PU.1 as upstream regulators, while the downstream effect of this network converged at the inhibition of viral infection. mRNA and protein expression analysis using validation cohort showed a trend towards the increased expression of relevant molecules identified by IPA in patients with anti-MDA5-associated ILD compared with those with anti-aminoacyl tRNA synthetase antibody-associated ILD or healthy controls. The expression of all relevant genes in monocytes and serum levels of CCL2 and IFN-β declined after treatment in survivors with anti-MDA5-associated ILD. CONCLUSION An antiviral proinflammatory network orchestrated primarily by activated monocytes/macrophages might be responsible for cytokine storm in anti-MDA5-associated ILD.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2021; 8:626953. [PMID: 33614683 PMCID: PMC7886679 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2021.626953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To initially clarify the efficacy and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with idiopathic-inflammatory-myopathy-related interstitial lung disease (IIM-ILD). Methods: A retrospective, real-world analysis was conducted in IIM-ILD patients who regularly received outpatient visit or hospitalization from January 2018 to March 2020 in three centers. And the patients were divided into two groups depending on presence or absence of nintedanib therapy. Comparisons, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and propensity score matching were made to identify difference in time to death from any cause, incidence of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) and comorbidity of pulmonary infection between the two groups. The following logistic regression analyses and Cox proportional-hazard regression analyses were used to verify the therapeutic value of nintedanib as well as clinical significance of other factors. Adverse events were descriptively recorded. Results: Thirty-six patients receiving nintedanib therapy and 115 patients without use of nintedanib were included. Before and after propensity score matching, the primary comparisons revealed better survival (P = 0.015, P = 0016, respectively) and lower incidence of RP-ILD (P = 0.017, P = 0.014, respectively) in patients with nintedanib therapy. Logistic regression analysis identified that disease activity (P < 0.001), percent-predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO%, P = 0.036), nintedanib therapy (P = 0.004, OR value = 0.072) and amyopathic dermatomyositis (ADM, P = 0.012) were significantly correlated with RP-ILD. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis suggested that disease activity (P < 0.001), anti-MDA5 antibody (P < 0.001) and nintedanib therapy (P = 0.013, HR value=0.268) were significantly associated with survival of IIM-ILD patients. Similar results can also be seen in analyses after propensity score matching. In the 36 patients with nintedanib therapy, diarrhea was the most common adverse event (44.4%) and hepatic insufficiency contributed to most dosage reduction (44.4% of nine patients) or therapy discontinuation (60.0% of five patients). Conclusions: Nintedanib was found to reduce incidence of RP-ILD and improve survival in IIM-ILD patients in a real-world setting. Anti-MDA5 antibody could be taken as a risk factor for unfavorable outcome. ADM was significantly correlated with occurrence of RP-ILD. In addition to the most frequent diarrhea, hepatic insufficiency was closely related to dosage reduction or therapy discontinuation.

Efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil in the treatment of rheumatic disease-related interstitial lung disease: a narrative review. Drugs Context 2021; 10:dic-2020-8-8. [PMID: 33505480 PMCID: PMC7813435 DOI: 10.7573/dic.2020-8-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an antimetabolite with a potent inhibitory effect on proliferation of T and B lymphocytes used since the early 1990s for the prevention of acute allograft rejection after organ transplant. MMF is also widely used for the treatment of a variety of rheumatic diseases (RDs) and their pulmonary involvement. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of progressive fibrotic diseases of the lung, which is often secondary to RD and represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality. MMF is considered the main alternative to cyclophosphamide as a first-line agent to treat RD-related ILD or as possible maintenance therapy after cyclophosphamide, with a lower rate of side-effects. However, as for other immunosuppressive agents, the use of MMF in RD-ILD is supported by poor scientific evidence. In this narrative review, we describe the available data and recent advances on the effectiveness and safety of MMF for the treatment of ILD related to RD, including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, primary Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, undifferentiated connective tissue disease, interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis.

Predictors of Poor Outcome of Anti-MDA5-Associated Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease in a Chinese Cohort with Dermatomyositis. J Immunol Res 2020; 2020:2024869. [PMID: 33299896 PMCID: PMC7710415 DOI: 10.1155/2020/2024869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Antimelanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) autoantibody has been reported in dermatomyositis (DM) to be associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). Our study is aimed at determining the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors underpinning anti-MDA5-associated RP-ILD. Methods Patients with anti-MDA5-associated DM (aMDA5-DM) were identified at the Peking University People's Hospital. The presence of anti-MDA5 antibody was determined by immunoblotting. Kaplan-Meier, chi-square test, univariate, and multivariate data analyses were used. Results Out of 213 patients with DM and clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM), 20.7% (44/213) of patients were identified as aMDA5-DM. Amongst the aMDA5-DM patients, 63.6% (28/44) were identified as having anti-MDA5-associated RP-ILD. During the follow-up, 32.1% (9/28) of patients with anti-MDA5-associated RP-ILD died of respiratory failure. We identified older age and periungual erythema as two independent risk factors for RP-ILD mortality. Age ≥ 57 years at disease onset was significantly associated with poor survival (P = 0.02) in patients with anti-MDA5-associated RP-ILD, while patients with periungual erythema had a better survival rate than those without periungual erythema (P < 0.05). Conclusions Anti-MDA5-associated RP-ILD is significantly associated with poor survival rates in DM/CADM patients. More effective intervention should be administered to anti-MDA5-associated RP-ILD patients, especially to senior patients and those without periungual erythema.

Predictors and Mortality of Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients With Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy: A Series of 474 Patients. Front Med (Lausanne) 2020; 7:363. [PMID: 32850886 PMCID: PMC7412929 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2020.00363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to identify the characteristics and prognosis of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and to assess the predictors for poor survival of RP-ILD in IIM. Methods: A total of 474 patients with IIM were enrolled retrospectively according to medical records from Peking University People's Hospital. Clinical and laboratory characteristics recorded at the diagnosis of patients with RP-ILD and chronic ILD (C-ILD) were compared. The Kaplan–Meier estimator and univariate and multivariate analyses were used for data analysis. Results: ILD was identified in 65% (308/474) of patients with IIM. Patients with ILD were classified into two groups based on lung features: RP-ILD (38%, 117/308) and C-ILD (62%, 191/308). RP-ILD resulted in significantly higher mortality in IIM compared with C-ILD (27.4 vs. 7.9%, P < 0.05). In this study, by comparing IIM patients with and without RP-ILD, a list of initial predictors for RP-ILD development were identified, which included older age at onset, decreased peripheral lymphocytes, skin involvement (periungual erythema, skin ulceration, and subcutaneous/mediastinal emphysema), presence of anti-MDA5 antibody, serum tumor markers, etc. Further multivariate Cox proportional hazards model analysis identified that anti-MDA5 positivity was an independent risk factor for mortality due to RP-ILD (P < 0.05), and lymphocytes <30% in BALF might also be associated with poor survival of myositis-associated RP-ILD (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our study shows that RP-ILD results in increased mortality in IIM. Anti-MDA5 positivity and a lower lymphocyte ratio in BALF might be the predictive factor of mortality due to RP-ILD.
