Abstract

To analyze antisynthetase syndrome-associated myositis by modern myopathologic methods and to define its place in the spectrum of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). Skeletal muscle biopsies from antisynthetase syndrome-associated myositis and other IIMs from different institutions worldwide were analyzed by histopathology, quantitative PCR, and electron microscopy. Myonuclear actin filament inclusions were identified as a unique morphologic hallmark of antisynthetase syndrome-associated myositis. Nuclear actin inclusions were never found in dermatomyositis, polymyositis, sporadic inclusion body myositis, autoimmune necrotizing myopathy associated with signal recognition particle or 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase autoantibodies, or nonspecific myositis associated with other systemic diseases, harboring myositis-associated autoantibodies, and presenting myofiber necrosis. We show that molecules involved in actin filament formation and actin shuttling mechanisms are altered in antisynthetase syndrome, and may thus be involved in pathologic myonuclear actin aggregation. In addition, we have identified a typical topographic distribution of necrotic myofibers predominantly located at the periphery of muscle f...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
