Vacuolar myositis with expression of both MHC class I and class II antigens on skeletal muscle fibers.

Abstract:

:We describe here a 10-year-old patient with high levels of serum IgE and inflammatory myopathy whose muscle fibers exhibit excessive autophagy. Previous studies have demonstrated surface expression of class I MHC antigens on muscle fibers from patients with inflammatory myopathy. The muscle fibers of this patients showed marked expression of both class I and class II MHC antigens. The reaction products were demonstrated not only on sarcolemma but also in and around some vacuoles. Both CD4-positive and CD8-positive T-lymphocytes were noted in inflammatory exudates surrounding these fibers but B-lymphocytes were rare. We hypothesize that myocyte expression of both class I and class II antigens may play a role in the pathogenesis of this new type of inflammatory myopathy.
