Abstract
Biomarkers as parameters of pathophysiological conditions can be of outmost relevance for inflammatory myopathies. They are particularly warranted to inform about diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic questions. As biomarkers become more and more relevant in daily routine, this review focusses on relevant aspects particularly addressing myopathological features. However, the level of evidence to use them in daily routine at presence is low, still since none of them has been validated in large cohorts of patients and rarely in independent biopsy series. Hence, they should be read as mere expert opinions. The evaluation of biomarkers as well as key biological parameters is an ongoing process, and we start learning about relevance of them, as we must recognize that pathophysiology of myositis is biologically incompletely understood. As such this approach should be considered an essay toward expansion of the definition “biomarker” to myositis, an emerging field of interest in biomedical research.

Abstract
A paradigmatic feature of autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) is the presence of multiple autoantibodies. The use of antibody profiles in the study of ARD therefore should be the best strategy for both diagnostic and classification purposes. To this end, systems using micronized components (protein chips or arrays), consisting of solid phase-linked autoantigens capable of simultaneously detecting many autoantibodies at the same time, are particularly suitable for testing autoantibody profiles. In the near future, extended disease-specific autoantibody profiles consisting of dozens, if not hundreds, of autoantibodies will be able to define each patient's autoantibody fingerprint and identify subclasses of patients with different prognostic characteristics and different therapeutic responses.

Abstract
Objectives Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a spectrum of rare autoimmune diseases characterised clinically by muscle weakness and heterogeneous systemic organ involvement. The strongest genetic risk is within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Since autoantibody presence defines specific clinical subgroups of IIM, we aimed to correlate serotype and genotype, to identify novel risk variants in the MHC region that co-occur with IIM autoantibodies. Methods We collected available autoantibody data in our cohort of 2582 Caucasian patients with IIM. High resolution human leucocyte antigen (HLA) alleles and corresponding amino acid sequences were imputed using SNP2HLA from existing genotyping data and tested for association with 12 autoantibody subgroups. Results We report associations with eight autoantibodies reaching our study-wide significance level of p<2.9×10–5. Associations with the 8.1 ancestral haplotype were found with anti-Jo-1 (HLA-B*08:01, p=2.28×10–53 and HLA-DRB1*03:01, p=3.25×10–9), anti-PM/Scl (HLA-DQB1*02:01, p=1.47×10–26) and anti-cN1A autoantibodies (HLA-DRB1*03:01, p=1.40×10–11). Associations independent of this haplotype were found with anti-Mi-2 (HLA-DRB1*07:01, p=4.92×10–13) and anti-HMGCR autoantibodies (HLA-DRB1*11, p=5.09×10–6). Amino acid positions may be more strongly associated than classical HLA associations; for example with anti-Jo-1 autoantibodies and position 74 of HLA-DRB1 (p=3.47×10–64) and position 9 of HLA-B (p=7.03×10–11). We report novel genetic associations with HLA-DQB1 anti-TIF1 autoantibodies and identify haplotypes that may differ between adult-onset and juvenile-onset patients with these autoantibodies. Conclusions These findings provide new insights regarding the functional consequences of genetic polymorphisms within the MHC. As autoantibodies in IIM correlate with specific clinical features of disease, understanding genetic risk underlying development of autoantibody profiles has implications for future research.

Physical therapy in adult inflammatory myopathy patients: a systematic review. Clin Rheumatol 2019; 38:2039-2051.

Abstract
The safety and effect of physical therapy in adult patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are currently unclear. Considering the muscle weakness resulting from disease activity as well as from the administered drugs, these patients could benefit from an evidence-based physical therapy program. To perform a systematic review to assess safety and effects of physical therapy on the functional outcome of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in both active and quiescent disease: Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane. Patients with one of the following idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: polymyositis, dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, and/or overlap myositis. The intervention included several types of rehabilitation programs, from strength and resistance training to endurance training, with a minimal duration of 1 month. Studies reporting intervention-related adverse events, disease activity, and functional outcomes were eligible. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane guidelines. We included five randomized controlled and seven open-label non-randomized non-controlled trials. Data on statistical significance were extracted for all the trials. Included trials were of medium-quality evidence given the low number of patients and some risk of bias factors. Physical therapy does not have a negative effect on the disease activity of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in quiescent disease and could improve functional outcome. The physical therapy program should minimally include endurance training. A combination with resistance training might be beneficial.

Abstract
Anti-OJ autoantibodies are rare myositis-specific autoantibodies that have been described to target isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. Routinely used multiplex assays perform poorly in detection of anti-OJ antibodies. In this manuscript, we review the existing literature on critical issues in detection of anti-OJ and the clinical features associated with anti-OJ. The challenging detection with line/blot immunoassays and ELISAs is most likely related to the characteristics of the autoantigen involved, which is part of a multi-enzyme synthetase complex. Anti-OJ autoantibodies might therefore be more aptly termed anti-OJ complex autoantibodies. Anti-OJ autoantibodies are associated with the anti-synthetase syndrome, with interstitial lung disease (ILD) frequently being the sole manifestation. Myositis, present in the majority of patients with anti-OJ antibodies, is more severe than in patients with other anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Most patients respond to glucocorticoid therapy. As detection of anti-OJ is relevant for treatment, reliable and practical detection is needed. Meanwhile, clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of anti-OJ in patients with ILD, isolated or in combination with myositis.

Abstract
Objectives: Standardization of myositis specific antibody (MSA) detection is of high importance because these antibodies are relevant for diagnosis and stratification of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM) and have the potential to be used in classification criteria. Many laboratories rely on immunoprecipitation (IP) for the detection of MSA but this approach is compromised by logistic, standardization, and regulatory challenges. Therefore, reliable alternatives to IP are mandatory. Here we aimed to compare three methods for the detection of MSA. Methods: Our study initiated from a cohort of 1,619 IIM patients (BIRD/University of Bath serology service and UKMyoNet cohorts) and resulted in 157 unique serum samples enriched for higher prevalence of MSA characterized by the laboratory's routine methods, IP and line immunoassay (LIA: Euroimmun). All samples were tested using a novel fully automated particle-based multi-analyte technology (PMAT, Inova Diagnostics, research use only). Analyses included antibodies to PL-7, PL-12, SRP, NXP2, Mi-2, SAE, EJ, MDA5, TIF1γ, SRP, NXP2. Results: Overall high agreements were observed between novel methods (LIA and PMAT) and IP (Cohen's kappa 0.46–0.96) for the detection of MSA. Lowest level of agreement was found for EJ and highest for SAE. Conclusion: The data hold promise for advancements in standardization of MSA assays as well as for the potential inclusion of MSA in future classification criteria.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The utility of repeat muscle biopsy has not been adequately evaluated. METHODS A retrospective review was undertaken of 144 repeat muscle biopsies performed from 1980 to 2017. Repeat biopsy was considered clinically relevant if it provided a new diagnosis, changed the existing diagnosis, or led to treatment changes or further investigations. RESULTS Repeat biopsy was abnormal in 118 cases, different from the initial biopsy in 67 cases, and specific in 40 cases. Factors with a significant effect on clinical relevance of the repeat biopsy (P < 0.05) were an abnormal, specific, or inflammatory initial biopsy, proximal muscle weakness, absence of myalgia, and a repeat biopsy that is different, specific, or consistent with polymyositis or inclusion body myositis. CONCLUSIONS Utility of repeat biopsy was limited to weak patients whose initial biopsy showed inflammatory myositis. Ongoing advances in the diagnosis of immune inflammatory myopathies have led to evolution of the role of repeat biopsy. Muscle Nerve, 2019.

Abstract
Objectives To determine prevalence and co-existence of myositis specific autoantibodies (MSAs) and myositis associated autoantibodies (MAAs) and associated clinical characteristics in a large cohort of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients. Methods Adult patients with confirmed IIM recruited to the EuroMyositis registry (n = 1637) from four centres were investigated for the presence of MSAs/MAAs by radiolabelled-immunoprecipitation, with confirmation of anti-MDA5 and anti-NXP2 by ELISA. Clinical associations for each autoantibody were calculated for 1483 patients with a single or no known autoantibody by global linear regression modelling. Results MSAs/MAAs were found in 61.5% of patients, with 84.7% of autoantibody positive patients having a sole specificity, and only three cases (0.2%) having more than one MSA. The most frequently detected autoantibody was anti-Jo-1 (18.7%), with a further 21 specificities each found in 0.2–7.9% of patients. Autoantibodies to Mi-2, SAE, TIF1, NXP2, MDA5, PMScl and the non-Jo-1 tRNA-synthetases were strongly associated (p < 0.001) with cutaneous involvement. Anti-TIF1 and anti-Mi-2 positive patients had an increased risk of malignancy (OR 4.67 and 2.50 respectively), and anti-SRP patients had a greater likelihood of cardiac involvement (OR 4.15). Interstitial lung disease was strongly associated with the anti-tRNA synthetases, anti-MDA5, and anti-U1RNP/Sm. Overlap disease was strongly associated with anti-PMScl, anti-Ku, anti-U1RNP/Sm and anti-Ro60. Absence of MSA/MAA was negatively associated with extra-muscular manifestations. Conclusions Myositis autoantibodies are present in the majority of patients with IIM and identify distinct clinical subsets. Furthermore, MSAs are nearly always mutually exclusive endorsing their credentials as valuable disease biomarkers. Myositis specific autoantibodies very rarely coexist in the one individual allowing endotypes to be more precisely defined. The association of anti-TIF1 and cancer-associated myositis is confirmed with a cut-off age of over 58 years. In a large combined European myositis cohort associations of anti-SRP with carditis and anti-Mi-2 with cancer have emerged. Myositis associated autoantibodies are strongly associated with having myositis in association with another connective tissue disease.

Abstract
The diagnosis and classification of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are based mainly on clinical and histological features. The discovery of myositis-specific and myositis-associated antibodies has simplified the (sub)classification of inflammatory myopathies. Patients suspected of having an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy should undergo routine antibody testing to gain more insight into distinct phenotypes, comorbidities, treatment response and prognosis. Furthermore, autoantibody testing can help in patients with atypical patterns of weakness or with an unresolved limb-girdle myopathic phenotype, or interstitial lung disease. However, some important technical and methodological issues can hamper the interpretation of antibody testing; for example, some antibodies are not included in the widely available line blots. We aim to provide a practical review of the use of autoantibody testing in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies in clinical practice.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle inflammation is the feature shared by all forms of myositis. However, the muscle damage ranges in severity from asymptomatic to responsible for severe weakness. In addition, myositis usually occurs as a systemic disease that affects multiple organs. More specifically myositis should be considered in patients with muscular, cutaneous, pulmonary, and articular manifestations. The definitive diagnosis and classification of myositis has benefited considerably in recent years from the identification of characteristic autoantibodies. Nonetheless, a muscle biopsy is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis, and the differential diagnoses may raise challenges that require evaluation at a myositis referral center. The management depends on the type of myositis. Treatments should be provided for both the systemic complications (involving the lungs, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and/or joints) and the comorbidities (cancer and risks factors for cardiovascular disease, thromboembolism, and fractures), which together determine the prognosis. Many drugs are available for treating myositis. Findings from randomized controlled trials will help to use them optimally.

Abstract
Over the past few years, myositis-specific autoantibodies played an increasing role in the inflammatory idiopathic myositis definition. They became the critical immunological marker for immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy diagnosis (IMNM) since the paradigm switch from histological to serological criteria. This review is focused on the key role of the anti-signal recognition particle (anti-SRP) and the anti-3-Hydroxy-3-MethylGlutaryl-Coenzyme A Reductase (anti-HMGCR) antibodies in immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. Anti-SRP and anti-HMGCR antibodies are robust diagnostic tools in case of both the classical subacute form and the slowly progressive form of IMNM that may mimic muscular dystrophy. Anti-SRP and anti-HMGCR patients share clinical, biological and histological features with some antibody-associated specificity. Anti-SRP patients harbour more severe muscle weakness and atrophy with severe muscle damage on magnetic resonance imaging study. Approximately 10-20% of anti-SRP patients develop extramuscular symptoms, especially lung interstitial disease. Conversely, anti-HMGCR patients are often associated with statin exposure. In both cases, patients have a poor outcome with frequent relapse and the use of combined immunotherapy. Of note, various data suggest a direct pathogenic role of these antibodies reinforcing the interest in targeted therapeutic strategy.
