Abstract
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are severe autoimmune diseases with poorly understood pathogenesis and unmet medical needs. Here, we examine the role of interferon γ (IFNγ) using NOD female mice deficient in the inducible T cell co-stimulator (Icos), which have previously been shown to develop spontaneous IFNγ-driven myositis mimicking human disease. Using muscle proteomic and spatial transcriptomic analyses we reveal profound myofiber metabolic dysregulation in these mice. In addition, we report muscle mitochondrial abnormalities and oxidative stress in diseased mice. Supporting a pathogenic role for oxidative stress, treatment with a reactive oxygen species (ROS) buffer compound alleviated myositis, preserved muscle mitochondrial ultrastructure and respiration, and reduced inflammation. Mitochondrial anomalies and oxidative stress were diminished following anti-IFNγ treatment. Further transcriptomic analysis in IIMs patients and human myoblast in vitro studies supported the link between IFNγ and mitochondrial dysfunction observed in mice. These results suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS and inflammation are interconnected in a self-maintenance loop, opening perspectives for mitochondria therapy and/or ROS targeting drugs in myositis.

Abstract
The ubiquitous RNA-processing molecule TDP-43 is involved in neuromuscular diseases such as inclusion body myositis, a late-onset acquired inflammatory myopathy. TDP-43 solubility and function are disrupted in certain viral infections. Certain viruses, high viremia, co-infections, reactivation of latent viruses, and post-acute expansion of cytotoxic T cells may all contribute to inclusion body myositis, mainly in an age-shaped immune landscape. The virally induced senescent, interferon gamma-producing cytotoxic CD8+ T cells with increased inflammatory, and cytotoxic features are involved in the occurrence of inclusion body myositis in most such cases, in a genetically predisposed host. We discuss the putative mechanisms linking inclusion body myositis, TDP-43, and viral infections untangling the links between viruses, interferon, and neuromuscular degeneration could shed a light on the pathogenesis of the inclusion body myositis and other TDP-43-related neuromuscular diseases, with possible therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of autoimmune diseases with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, primarily characterised by immune-mediated muscle injury. Until recently, there was little insight into the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, which challenged the recognition of the breadth of heterogeneity of this group of diseases as well as the development of new therapeutics. However, the landscape of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies is evolving. In the past decade, advances in diagnostic tools have facilitated an enhanced understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, enabling the expansion of therapeutic trials. The fields of transcriptomics, prot§eomics, and machine learning offer the potential to gain greater insights into the underlying pathophysiology of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Harnessing insights gained from these sophisticated tools could contribute to the identification of differences at a molecular level among patients, accelerating the development of targeted, tailored therapies. Bolstered by the validation and standardisation of robust outcome measures, many promising therapies are in clinical trial development. Although challenges remain, there is great optimism in the field due to the progress in innovative diagnostics, outcome measures, and therapeutic approaches. In this Review, we discuss the expanding landscape of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies as the frontier of precision medicine becomes imminent.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Systemic sclerosis associated myopathy (SSc-AM) is a complex, heterogenous disease that is associated with poor outcomes. SSc-AM lacks a clear definition, and continues to be poorly recognized. The purpose of this review is to provide a contemporary overview of the clinical, serological and pathophysiologic findings in SSc-AM to guide optimal recognition and management of this challenging disease manifestation. RECENT FINDINGS There have been several advances in diagnostic techniques to facilitate characterization of SSc-AM, including muscle MRI, in which findings were correlated to distinct histopathologic categories of muscle involvement in SSc, histopathologic findings of prominent fibrosis or inflammation on biopsy, and the identification of novel autoantibodies associated with SSc-AM, which may be associated with distinct clinical phenotypes. In one of the largest studies to date, 17% of a well phenotyped SSc cohort were found to have myopathy, which was an independent risk of death, even after adjusting for potential confounders, further highlighting the importance of timely recognistion and management of SSc-AM. SUMMARY There is increasing recognition of the importance of SSc-AM. Novel diagnostic tools provide the opportunity for more detailed insights into pathophysiologic mechanisms, which may facilitate the development of a rigorous consensus definition of SSc-AM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) represent a diverse group of systemic autoimmune disorders with variable clinical manifestations and disease course. Currently, the challenges of IIMs are multifold, including difficulties in timely diagnosis owing to clinical heterogeneity, limited insights into disease pathogenesis, as well as a restricted number of available therapies. However, advances utilizing myositis-specific autoantibodies have facilitated the definition of subgroups as well as the prediction of clinical phenotypes, disease course, and response to treatment. AREAS COVERED Herein we provide an overview of the clinical presentations of dermatomyositis, anti-synthetase syndrome, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, and inclusion body myositis. We then provide an updated review of available and promising therapies for each of these disease groups. We synthesize current treatment recommendations in the context of case-based construct to facilitate application to patient care. Finally, we provide high-yield, clinical pearls relevant to each of the subgroups that can be incorporated into clinical reasoning. EXPERT OPINION There are many exciting developments on the horizon for IIM. As insights into pathogenesis evolve, the therapeutic armamentarium is expanding with many novel therapies in development, holding promise for more targeted treatment approaches.
