Identification of Unique microRNA Profiles in Different Types of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy.

ABSTRACT: Dermatomyositis (DM), antisynthetase syndrome (AS), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), and inclusion body myositis (IBM) are four major types of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Muscle biopsies from each type of IIM have unique transcriptomic profiles. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), thereby regulating their expression and modulating transcriptomic profiles. In this study, 18 DM, 12 IMNM, 6 AS, 6 IBM, and 6 histologically normal muscle biopsies underwent miRNA profiling using the NanoString nCounter system. Eleven miRNAs were exclusively differentially expressed in DM compared to controls, seven miRNAs were only differentially expressed in AS, and nine miRNAs were specifically upregulated in IBM. No differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in IMNM. We also analyzed miRNA-mRNA associations to identify putative targets of differentially expressed miRNAs. In DM and AS, these were predominantly related to inflammation and cell cycle progression. Moreover, our analysis showed an association between miR-30a-3p, miR-30e-3p, and miR-199b-5p downregulation in DM and the upregulation of target genes induced by type I interferon. In conclusion, we show that muscle biopsies from DM, AS, and IBM patients have unique miRNA signatures and that these miRNAs might play a role in regulating the expression of genes known to be involved in IIM pathogenesis.

Project description:ObjectivesIdiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a class of autoimmune diseases with high heterogeneity that can be divided into different subtypes based on clinical manifestations and myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs). However, even in each IIM subtype, the clinical symptoms and prognoses of patients are very different. Thus, the identification of more potential biomarkers associated with IIM classification, clinical symptoms, and prognosis is urgently needed.MethodsPlasma and urine samples from 79 newly diagnosed IIM patients (mean disease duration 4 months) and 52 normal control (NC) samples were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography of quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS)/MS-based untargeted metabolomics. Orthogonal partial least-squares discriminate analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to measure the significance of metabolites. Pathway enrichment analysis was conducted based on the KEGG human metabolic pathways. Ten machine learning (ML) algorithms [linear support vector machine (SVM), radial basis function SVM, random forest, nearest neighbour, Gaussian processes, decision trees, neural networks, adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), Gaussian naive Bayes and quadratic discriminant analysis] were used to classify each IIM subtype and select the most important metabolites as potential biomarkers.ResultsOPLS-DA showed a clear separation between NC and IIM subtypes in plasma and urine metabolic profiles. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed multiple unique and shared disturbed metabolic pathways in IIM main [dermatomyositis (DM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM)] and MSA-defined subtypes (anti-Mi2+, anti-MDA5+, anti-TIF1γ+, anti-Jo1+, anti-PL7+, anti-PL12+, anti-EJ+, and anti-SRP+), such that fatty acid biosynthesis was significantly altered in both plasma and urine in all main IIM subtypes (enrichment ratio > 1). Random forest and AdaBoost performed best in classifying each IIM subtype among the 10 ML models. Using the feature selection methods in ML models, we identified 9 plasma and 10 urine metabolites that contributed most to separate IIM main subtypes and MSA-defined subtypes, such as plasma creatine (fold change = 3.344, P = 0.024) in IMNM subtype and urine tiglylcarnitine (fold change = 0.351, P = 0.037) in anti-EJ+ ASS subtype. Sixteen common metabolites were found in both the plasma and urine samples of IIM subtypes. Among them, some were correlated with clinical features, such as plasma hypogeic acid (r = -0.416, P = 0.005) and urine malonyl carnitine (r = -0.374, P = 0.042), which were negatively correlated with the prevalence of interstitial lung disease.ConclusionsIn both plasma and urine samples, IIM main and MSA-defined subtypes have specific metabolic signatures and pathways. This study provides useful clues for understanding the molecular mechanisms, searching potential diagnosis biomarkers and therapeutic targets for IIM.
