The molecular mechanism underlying dermatomyositis related interstitial lung disease: evidence from bioinformatic analysis and in vivo validation

Abstract excerpt

Background: Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease that can affect the lungs, causing interstitial lung diseases (ILD). However, the exact pathophysiological mechanisms underlying DM-ILD are unknown. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) belongs to the broader spectrum of ILD and evidence shows that common pathologic pathways might lie between IPF and DM-ILD. Methods: We retrieved gene...
