Autoimmune Myositis - Etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, signs, diagnosis & prognosis from the Merck Manuals - Medical Professional Version.
Relatively little is known about the biological significance or cellular target of ELR+ CXC chemokines in the development and/or maintenance of autoimmune demyelinating disease, in which infiltrates are dominated by lymphocytes and monocytes. Although PMN have been detected entering the CNS during the preclinical phase of EAE (17), their relative paucity in mature EAE and MS lesions has led some investigators to question their importance (8). With regard to more populous myeloid subsets in EAE and MS lesions, activated macrophages are recruited to the CNS by a CCL2-dependent pathway across several EAE models (18). Perhaps because of such observations, the role of ELR+ CXC chemokines in the pathophysiology of autoimmune demyelination has not been previously investigated in depth. However, a growing body of data indicates that they merit attention. For example, IL-17, a potent inducer of ELR+ CXC chemokines, was recently implicated in the pathogenesis of both EAE and MS (19-21). In addition, ...
The general aim of this study was to evaluate the disease spectrum in patients presenting with a pure polymyositis (pPM) phenotype. Specific objectives were to characterize clinical features, autoantibodies (aAbs), and membrane attack complex (MAC) in muscle biopsies of patients with treatment-responsive, statin-exposed necrotizing autoimmune myositis (NAM). Patients from the Centre hospitalier de lUniversité de Montréal autoimmune myositis (AIM) Cohort with a pPM phenotype, response to immunosuppression, and follow-up ≥3 years were included. Of 17 consecutive patients with pPM, 14 patients had a NAM, of whom 12 were previously exposed to atorvastatin (mean 38.8 months). These 12 patients were therefore suspected of atorvastatin-induced AIM (atorAIM) and selected for study. All had aAbs to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, and none had overlap aAbs, aAbs to signal recognition particle, or cancer. Three stages of myopathy were recognized: stage 1 (isolated serum creatine ...
Our developing understanding of the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies and inflammatory myopathies shows complex interactions between immunological and non-immunological features of these diseases that can affect disease onset and course. Among the muscular dystrophies, the best evidence for an im …
CD8+ T lymphocytes are critical mediators of neuroinflammatory diseases. Understanding the mechanisms that govern the function of this T cell population is crucial to better understanding central nervous system autoimmune disease pathology. We recently identified a novel population of highly cytotoxic c-Met-expressing CD8+ T lymphocytes and found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) limits effective murine cytotoxic T cell responses in cancer models. Here, we examined the role of c-Met-expressing CD8+ T cells by using a MOG35-55 T cell-mediated EAE model. Mice were subcutaneously immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein peptide (MOG)35-55 in complete Freunds adjuvant (CFA). Peripheral and CNS inflammation was evaluated at peak disease and chronic phase, and c-Met expression by CD8 was evaluated by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Molecular, cellular, and killing function analysis were performed by real-time PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry, and killing assay. In the present study, we observed
Autoimmune myositis encompasses various myositis-overlap syndromes, each being identified by the presence of serum marker autoantibodies. We describe a novel myositis-overlap syndrome in 4 patients characterized by the presence of a unique immunologic marker, autoantibodies to nuclear pore complexes. The clinical phenotype was characterized by prominent myositis in association with erosive, anti-CCP, and rheumatoid factor-positive arthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, mild interstitial lung disease, Raynaud phenomenon, and weight loss. The myositis was typically chronic, relapsing, and refractory to corticosteroids alone, but remitted with the addition of a second immuno-modulating drug. There was no clinical or laboratory evidence for liver disease. The prognosis was good with 100% long-term survival (mean follow-up 19.5 yr). By indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2 cells, sera from all 4 patients displayed a high titer of antinuclear autoantibodies (ANA) with a distinct punctate peripheral (rim) ...

The Molecular Immunology Section (MIS) seeks an integrated understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate host immunity. Particular emphasis is on: (i) mechanisms that regulate lymphocyte development and cell-fate decisions; (ii) identifying and characterizing lymphocyte subsets that mediate or suppress CNS (central nervous system) autoimmune diseases; (iii) developing biologics and cell-based therapies for CNS inflammatory diseases, such as uveitis, multiple sclerosis and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Use of genetically altered mouse strains and cell types has led to our discovery of novel Regulatory B cell (Breg) populations that suppress inflammation through production of the immune-suppressive cytokines, Interleukin 27 (i27-Breg) or IL-35 (i35-Breg). The long-term goal of our research program is to develop i27-Breg and i35-Breg immunotherapies for the treatment of CNS autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases and also chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). ...

N2 - The association between malignancy and autoimmune myositis has been largely described and confirmed by numerous epidemiological studies. The temporal relationship between the two pathologic conditions can vary: malignancy may occur before, at the same time or following the diagnosis of myositis. Beside these observations, the molecular mechanisms underlying this association are still unknown, even though it has been demonstrated a possible antigenic similarity between regenerating myoblasts and some cancer cell populations. To better identify peculiar histopathologic features common to cancer and myositis, we screened ...

The apparent PP2 resistance of the response of PBMC to SEE could be interpreted as indicative that Src kinases are differentially involved in the responses of specific T cell subsets to bacterial SAg, inhibiting the activation of some, while enhancing the response of others. As it has been reported that Lck-defective patients have an over-representation of activated T cells in an otherwise lymphopenic background (5), we hypothesized that the SEE-responsive primary T cell subset that did not require Lck would be mostly a primed/activated subset. To test this hypothesis, human T cell blasts were generated, and their response to SEE presented by autologous MD-DC in the absence or the presence of PP2 was analyzed. We found that human T cell blasts responded well to SEE. Moreover, in these cells, the presence of PP2 during stimulation resulted in a dose-dependent enhancement of the SEE-induced IL-2 production (Fig. 1⇑B), revealing the presence of a negative role for Lck in T cell activation. Under ...

Purpose: Alarin is a recently discovered neuroregulatory peptide with vasoconstrictive activity in murine skin. It is expressed in various regions of the brain and was lately also detected in retinal neurons of rat and mouse and in humans in intrinsic choroidal neurons. Autonomic innervation is essential for many aspects of ocular homeostasis, and alarin might be involved in this autonomic control. Here we ask if alarin is present in the various autonomic ganglia supplying the eye and explore its impact in ocular innervation.. Methods: Cranial autonomic ganglia of the rat (i.e. superior cervical, SCG; ciliary, CIL; pterygopalatine, PPG; trigeminal, TRI) were prepared for immunohistochemistry against alarin using affinity purified antibodies and respective established ganglionic markers (SCG: TH; PPG and CIL: ChAT; TRI: SP). For documentation, confocal laser scanning microscopy was used. Presence of alarin was quantified in ten non-consecutive serial sections of each ganglion and quantitative ...
