Interferon‐stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) conjugates proteins in dermatomyositis muscle with perifascicular atrophy

Abstract: Introduction-Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease involving muscle and skin. Perifascicular atrophy (PFA) of myofibers is a specific and characteristic DM pathological lesion. Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is a ubiquitin-like modifier with a poorly understood immunological role.

“…In a recent study on dermatomyositis, an autoimmune disorder involving skeletal muscle, the ISG15 pathway was associated with atrophy (26). In light of our results, further investigation into the link between type I IFN response and myocyte damage may prove fruitful.…”

“…The release of other cytokines and soluble mediators such as TNF and NO by the activated T and B cells may further enhance the inflammatory processes taking place in the muscle [4]. Multiple findings indicate that upregulation of the Type 1 interferon pathway plays a prominent role in the disease pathogenesis in DM [26,27]although it is not specific to DM [29].…”

“…Microarray gene expression profiling has detected upregulation of genes for adhesion molecules, cytokines, MHC class I molecules, chemokines and immunoglobulins in the muscles of patients with inflammatory myopathies [4,[53][54][55][56].In particular, the interferons (IFNs)and IFN-inducible genes have been strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of myositis. The enhanced type I IFN gene signature has been associated with disease activity in both PM and DM [57].Additionally,immunostaining for type I IFN has been detected in DM in muscle fibres in areas showingperifascular atrophy, as well as in plasmacytoid dendritic cells and in the capillary endothelial cells [27,58]. In contrast,overexpression of the type IIIFN (IFN-ƴ)…”

“…Recent microarray studies have pointed toward a mechanism of tissue injury associated with the overexpression of type 1 interferoninducible gene [123,124]. Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) conjugated proteins in DM muscle with muscle perifascicular atrophy, were investigated by Salajeheh et al [123].…”
