Correlation of CXCL10, Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type II, and Galectin 9 With Disease Activity in Juvenile Dermatomyositis

Abstract

Our findings indicate that CXCL10, TNFRII, and galectin 9 correspond to disease status in juvenile DM and thus could be helpful in monitoring disease activity and guiding treatment. Furthermore, they might provide new knowledge about the pathogenesis of this autoimmune disease.
