Abstract
Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the skin and skeletal muscle. Virus infection and type I interferon-related signaling pathways play an important role in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis. In this study, we found that the skin of patients with DM and the skin of patients with COVID-19 have similar transcriptional profiles, and identified key genes involved in dermatomyositis based on bioinformatics analysis. These hub-genes might be served as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis and therapy of DM, including MX1, ISG15, IFIT3, IFIT1, RSAD2, IFIT2, IFI6, XAF1, IRF9, MX2.
期刊介绍:
Autoimmunity is an international, peer reviewed journal that publishes articles on cell and molecular immunology, immunogenetics, molecular biology and autoimmunity. Current understanding of immunity and autoimmunity is being furthered by the progress in new molecular sciences that has recently been little short of spectacular. In addition to the basic elements and mechanisms of the immune system, Autoimmunity is interested in the cellular and molecular processes associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren syndrome, type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other systemic and organ-specific autoimmune disorders. The journal reflects the immunology areas where scientific progress is most rapid. It is a valuable tool to basic and translational researchers in cell biology, genetics and molecular biology of immunity and autoimmunity.
