Correlations between serum CTSG, NE, and PR3 levels and clinical indicators. Serum levels of CTSG in DM/PM correlated positively with levels of LDH, ESR, IgG, and IgA (a). Serum levels of NE in DM/PM correlated positively with CRP and IgM (b). Serum levels of PR3 correlated positively with CRP, ESR, IgG, and IgM in DM/PM patients (c). Patients with anti-Jo-1, with anti-Ro-52, or without ILD had lower levels of PR3 (d).
