Highly Multiplexed Mass Cytometry Identifies the Immunophenotype in the Skin of Dermatomyositis

Listed in Teesside University Research Data Repository

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare, systemic autoimmune disease that most frequently affects the skin, muscles, and lungs.

Description

The inflammatory infiltrate in the skin has not been fully characterized, and, in this study, we took a single-cell, unbiased approach using imaging mass cytometry. Substantial monocyte‒macrophage diversity was observed, with the CD14+ population correlating positively with Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index scores (P = 0.031).

The T-cell compartment revealed CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and FOXP3+ T cells. Activated (CD69+) circulating memory T cells correlated positively with Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index scores (P = 0.0268). IFN-β protein was highly upregulated in the T-cell, macrophage, dendritic cell, and endothelial cell populations of DM skin.

Myeloid dendritic cells expressed phosphorylated peroxisome proliferator‒activated receptor γ, phosphorylated IRF3, IL-4, and IL-31, and their quantity correlated with itch as measured in Skindex-29. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells colocalized with IFN-γ in addition to the known colocalization with IFN-β. Nuclear phosphorylated peroxisome proliferator‒activated receptor γ expression was found in the DM endothelium.

Imaging mass cytometry allows us to characterize single cells in the immune cell population and identify upregulated cytokines and inflammatory pathways in DM. These findings have important implications for the development of future targeted therapies for DM.
