Increased Levels of Soluble CD206 Associated with Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients with Dermatomyositis

Figure 2

The sCD206 levels in all DM patients and in those with RP-ILD with different MSAs. (a) The serum levels of sCD206 in DM patients with RP-ILD, nonRP-ILD, and those without ILD. (b) The serum levels of sCD206 in DM patients with RP-ILD classified based on different MSAs. sCD206: soluble CD206; DM: dermatomyositis; ILD: interstitial lung disease; RP-ILD: rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease; ARS: aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases; MDA-5: melanoma differentiation-associated gene-5; MSA: myositis-specific autoantibodies. The Kruskal-Wallis test was applied for comparisons between three groups. Error bars represent the interquartile range. NS indicates no significant difference.
