RESUMO

Mechanic's hand is often seen in the fingers of patients with dermatomyositis and is frequently associated with anti-aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetase autoantibodies and interstitial lung disease. We analysed the clinical symptoms of 50 patients with dermatomyositis who had visited our department, 26 of whom also had mechanic's hand. A histological examination was carried out in 16 of the 26 cases, which revealed hyperkeratosis in all cases and colloid bodies in the epidermis in 15 cases. The number of cases of interstitial lung disease in patients with mechanic's hand (22/26, 85%) was significantly higher than that in those without mechanic's hand (12/24, 50%) (P < 0.05). Mechanic's hand is an important skin lesion of dermatomyositis, and increases the likelihood of interstitial lung disease.

RESUMO

The study of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor has recently focused on its involvement in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We examined the inhibitory effects of the antagonist for the LPA receptor, a selective LPA1 and LPA3 antagonist (Ki16425), on dermal and lung fibrosis in a mouse model of SSc. Ki16425 was administered intra-dermally after 6 h on the same sites as bleomycin injection. Histopathological examination showed that skin lesions were markedly attenuated by treatment with Ki16425 at doses of 1 and 10 mg/kg, along with reduced dermal thickness. Hydroxyproline contents in the Ki16425-treated skin showed a decrease of 35% (1 mg/kg) and 45% (10 mg/kg) compared with those in the oil-injected skin of the controls. The number of mast cells and phospho-Smad2/3-positive spindle cells of the Ki16425-treated skin was significantly decreased compared with that in the controls. Additionally, RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA levels of TGF-ß1, CTGF, MIP-1α, IFN-γ and collagen α1(I) were significantly decreased in both the 1-mg/kg and 10-mg/kg groups of the Ki16425-treated mice compared with those in the controls. Furthermore, treatment with bleomycin and Ki16425 showed reduction in lung fibrosis, and the hydroxyproline contents in the lungs of the Ki16425-treated mice showed a decrease of 25% (1 mg/kg) and 32% (10 mg/kg) compared with those in the lungs of the controls. Taken together, Ki16425 was found to improve dermal and lung fibrosis in a mouse model of bleomycin-induced murine scleroderma. These results suggest that Ki16425 has the potential to be an effective new treatment for scleroderma.
