Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatomyositis (DM) with autoantibody against melanoma differentiation-associated gene-5 (MDA5) is characterized by elevated risk of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) with a potentially fatal course. Pneumomediastinum (PNM) is a common pulmonary manifestation which accompanies ILD. However, the clinical features of the patients with anti-MDA5 antibody-positive DM who develop PNM remain unclear. METHODS We retrospectively examined 31 patients with DM having anti-MDA5 antibody and compared the clinical features between patients with PNM (PMN(+)) (n = 11) and those without (PNM(-) (n = 20). In addition, we evaluated the treatment-related prognoses in PNM(+) group. RESULTS CT score (total ground-glass opacity (GGO) score, P = 0.02; total fibrosis score, P = 0.02) before treatment, and mortality (P = 0.04) were significantly higher in PNM(+) group. The cumulative survival rate as assessed by Kaplan-Meier method was significantly lower for the PNM(+) group (P = 0.02). Among 11 PMN(+) patients, 9 patients (9/11, 81.8%) underwent intensive immunosuppression therapy for RP-ILD, and 5 patients (5/11, 45.5%) did not respond to it and died from the respiratory failure. At the time of diagnosis of PNM, nonsurvivors had worse liver function (ALT, P = 0.03; LDH, P = 0.01), worse respiratory status (A-aDO2, P = 0.01), and worse CT score (total GGO score, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A subgroup of patients with DM having anti-MDA5 antibody complicated by PNM as well as RP-ILD did respond to intensive immunosuppression therapy. Initial aggressive immunosuppressive therapy should be considered for these patients.Key Points• This study clearly demonstrate the presence of PNM was associated with elevated risk of death due to respiratory failure from RP-ILD among patients with DM having circulating anti-MDA5-antibody.•This study demonstrate evaluation of CT image may be helpful to find patients with better response to the intense immunosuppression therapy for the patients with DM having circulating anti-MDA5-antibody and PNM.

Clinical Significance of Serum Chitotriosidase Level in Anti-MDA5 Antibody–positive Dermatomyositis-associated Interstitial Lung Disease. J Rheumatol 2019; 46:935-942.

Abstract
Objective.To assess prognostic factors of antimelanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody (anti-MDA5)–positive dermatomyositis/clinically amyopathic DM–associated interstitial lung disease (DM/CADM-ILD) and evaluate the use of serum chitotriosidase, a marker for macrophage activation, as a potential biomarker in anti-MDA5-positive DM/CADM-ILD.Methods.This retrospective study included 30 patients with anti-MDA5–positive DM/CADM-ILD. The clinical characteristics and laboratory findings at the time of diagnosis were analyzed. Serum chitotriosidase levels were measured in the 30 patients, in 21 healthy controls, and in 25 patients with anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase antibody–positive (anti-ARS)-polymyositis (PM)/DM/CADM-ILD, and the potential of serum chitotriosidase as a prognostic biomarker in anti-MDA5–positive DM/CADM-ILD was assessed.Results.The median serum chitotriosidase level in patients with anti-MDA5–positive DM/CADM-ILD was 17.3 ng/ml, which was higher than that in healthy controls and anti-ARS–PM/DM/CADM-ILD (2.0 and 8.9 ng/ml, respectively). Of the 30 patients, 10 died of respiratory failure associated with DM/CADM-ILD deterioration. Cox hazard analysis demonstrated that higher serum chitotriosidase level and lower PaO2 value were significant predictors of a poor outcome. Using optimal cutoff levels according to receiver-operating characteristic curve analyses, chitotriosidase ≥ 23.5 ng/ml, ferritin ≥ 800 ng/ml, and Krebs von den Lungen–6 ≥ 720 U/ml were significantly associated with a poor prognosis. Serum chitotriosidase levels were negatively correlated with PaO2 and percentage predicted forced vital capacity. The survival rate was significantly poorer in patients with high chitotriosidase levels (≥ 23.5 ng/ml) than in those with low chitotriosidase levels (< 23.5 ng/ml).Conclusion.Serum chitotriosidase may be a potential biomarker for predicting a poor prognosis in patients with anti-MDA5–positive DM/CADM-ILD.

Abstract
To date, increasing numbers of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) have been reported and their clinical significance has been elucidated. Anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (ARS) and anti-melanoma-differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) are strongly associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD); however, the clinical course of ILD is different depending on which autoantibody is present. Anti-ARS is associated with chronic and repetitive ILD and anti-MDA5 is associated with rapidly progressive ILD. Anti-MDA5, anti-transcriptional intermediary factor (TIF) 1-γ, anti-nuclear matrix protein (NXP) 2 and anti-Mi-2 antibodies are dermatomyositis specific. Anti-TIF1-γ and anti-NXP-2 antibodies are associated with malignancy, and anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) and anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) antibodies are associated with immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM). Prognosis is also different among MSA-positive patient groups. Thus, MSAs are of great use for predicting disease course, prognosis, and determining therapeutic strategy as well as the diagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients. Investigation of the pathogenic role of MSAs and their corresponding autoantigens will help us to understand the pathophysiology of IIM and identify new therapeutic targets.

Abstract
We describe a case of a woman who presented with a persistent cough, general fatigue, and a fever. Interstitial lung disease was rapidly progressive and resistant to high-dose steroid therapy. She tested positive for the presence of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA-5) antibody, although she had no skin manifestations of dermatomyositis. She was eventually diagnosed with unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and was successfully treated with intensive immunosuppressive therapy including intravenous cyclophosphamide. To our knowledge, this is the first report of anti-MDA-5 antibody in a patient with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.

Abstract
Anti-MDA5 antibodies have been strongly associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) in dermatomyositis (DM) patients, especially in the clinically amyopathic subset (CADM). We present a case of anti-MDA5 antibody-associated RP-ILD in a patient with arthritis but with no other clinical signs suggestive of DM or CADM successfully treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine and corticoids. A review of the literature was also done. Despite its rarity, anti-MDA5 antibody-associated ILD should be suspected in cases of RP-ILD even without other signs of DM or CADM as prompt and aggressive treatment could improve prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the principal cause of death in polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). Here we investigated prognostic factors for death and serious infection in PM/DM-ILD using the multicenter database. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed baseline demographic, clinical and laboratory findings, treatment regimens and outcomes in patients with PM/DM-ILD. The distribution of ILD lesions was evaluated in four divided lung zones of high-resolution computed tomography images. RESULTS Of 116 patients with PM/DM-ILD, 14 died within 6 months from the diagnosis. As independent risk factors for early death, extended ILD lesions in upper lung fields (odds ratio (OR) 8.01, p = 0.016) and hypocapnia (OR 6.85, p = 0.038) were identified. Serious infection was found in 38 patients, including 11 patients who died of respiratory or multiple infections. The independent risk factors were high serum KL-6 (OR 3.68, p = 0.027), high initial dose of prednisolone (PSL) (OR 4.18, p = 0.013), and combination immunosuppressive therapies (OR 5.51, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The present study shows the progression of ILD at baseline is the most critical for survival and that infection, especially respiratory infection, is an additive prognostic factor under the potent immunosuppressive treatment.
