Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) encompass a spectrum of autoimmune diseases characterized by muscle inflammation and systemic involvement. This review aimed to synthesize current evidence on the clinical significance and pathogenic mechanisms underlying autoantibodies associated with IIMs. Autoantibodies targeting aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARS) play a pivotal role in antisynthetase syndrome (ASS), highlighting associations with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and distinctive clinical features.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) and dermatomyositis (DM) are autoimmune collagen diseases. Specific autoantibodies are known to be involved in their pathogeneses, each presenting with a different clinical manifestation. Although immunoprecipitation is the gold standard method for detecting autoantibodies, it is difficult to perform in all cases owing to the use of radioisotopes.

Objective: The diagnosis in the studies analyzing HLA of dermatomyositis (DM) was based on a combined clinical category of polymyositis/DM. This retrospective study investigated the associations of HLA with 5 DM-specific autoantibodies in Japanese patients diagnosed by muscle pathology.
Methods: We diagnosed Japanese patients with DM based on sarcoplasmic expression of myxovirus resistance protein A.

Objective: To discuss the characteristics of autoantigens, detection methods and roles of myositis associated autoantibodies (MAAs) and myositis specific autoantibodies (MSAs), as well as the clinical features of disease subgroups defined by MAAs/MSAs.
Background: Autoantibodies in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are conventionally divided into MAAs and MSAs. MAAs usually refer to autoantibodies which are also available in systematic autoimmune diseases (anti-PM/SCL, anti-Ku, anti-Ro52 and anti-U1RNP antibodies).
