OBJECTIVE: Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are associated with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). We aimed to summarize the clinicopathological characteristics, assess circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA), and circulating cell-free nuclear DNA (ccf-nDNA) in AMA-associated IIMs.
METHODS: Medical records of 37 IIMs patients with AMAs were reviewed. Circulating cell-free mtDNA and ccf-nDNA levels in sera from IIMs patients with AMAs (n = 21), disease controls (n = 66) and healthy controls (HCs) (n = 23) were measured and compared. Twenty-eight immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) patients, 23 dermatomyositis (DM) patients, and 15 anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) patients were enrolled as disease controls. Correlations between variables were analyzed.
RESULTS: Limb weakness was observed in 75.7% and neck weakness in 56.8% of patients. Cardiac involvement occurred in 51.4% of patients. Muscle pathology revealed 81.1% of IMNM, 5.4% polymyositis, and 13.5% nonspecific myositis. Microinfarction was observed in 8.1% of patients. Serum ccf-mtDNA levels in AMA-associated IIMs were significantly higher than those in HCs (p < 0.001), but no significant differences between AMA-associated IIMs and IMNM, DM, or ASS. Serum ccf-nDNA levels in AMA-associated IIMs were significantly higher than those in HCs (p = 0.02), and significantly lower than those in DM (p = 0.02). Serum ccf-nDNA levels correlated negatively with MMT8 total scores (rs = -0.458, p = 0.037) and positively with mRS scores (rs = 0.486, p = 0.025). Serum ccf-nDNA levels were significantly higher in the non-remission group (p < 0.01).
INTERPRETATION: AMA-associated IIMs exhibit distinct clinicopathological features. Serum ccf-nDNA may serve as a potential marker for disease severity and prognosis in AMA-associated IIMs.
