Building upon previous research on the immunological and inflammatory aspects of JDM, this study aims to investigate the role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of JDM using a comprehensive bioinformatics approach.Methods: Two microarray datasets (GSE3307 and GSE11971) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and a list of 62 pyroptosis-related genes was compiled. Differential gene expression analysis and machine learning analysis were performed to identity the hub pyroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (PR-DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis, immune cell infiltration analysis, gene set variation analysis (GSVA), and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to elucidate the potential roles of PR-DEGs in JDM pathogenesis.Results: A total of 2526 common DEGs were identified, among which 12 PR-DEGs were identified, with CASP1, IRF1, NOD2, and PYCARD identified as hub PR-DEGs. These genes were involved in cytokine production, inflammasome activity, necroptosis, NOD-like receptor signaling, and TNF signaling. Immune infiltration analysis showed increased pro-inflammatory immune cell infiltration in JDM patients, with PR-DEGs positively correlated with various immune cell types. GSVA and GSEA analyses demonstrated the involvement of PR-DEGs in multiple inflammation and immunity-related pathways, with the NOD-like receptor signaling pathway playing a central role.Conclusion: This study highlights the crucial role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of JDM, with the identified PR-DEGs potentially contributing to disease development and progression by regulating key inflammatory and immune-related pathways.Keywords: pyroptosis, JDM, immune infiltration analysis, machine learning, diagnostic
