ObjectiveTo explore the expression of periostin in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of patients with dermatomyositis-related interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD) and rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD).MethodsA total of 44 patients with DM-ILD and 28 patients with RA-ILD were underwent bronchoalveolar lavage. Cells in BALF were collected and analyzed by absolute different cell counts. The level of periostin and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results of high resolution CT of patients were scored. Thirty patients without interstitial lung disease (ILD) served as a control group.ResultsLevels of periostin and KL-6 were significantly increased in BALF of patients with DM-ILD and RA-ILD compared with control group (all P<0.05). Levels of periostin were positively correlated with lymphocyte counts and levels of KL-6 in BALF (allP<0.05). Furthermore, levels of periostin were significantly correlated with high resolution CT scores (P<0.05).ConclusionsLevels of periostin are increased in patients with DM-ILD and RA-ILD. Periostin might be served as an indicator of CTD-ILD.
