Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a muscle disease with two separate pathogenic components, degeneration and inflammation. Typically, nonnecrotic myofibers are focally surrounded and invaded by CD8(+) T cells and macrophages. Both attacked and nonattacked myofibers express high levels of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules, a prerequisite for antigen presentation to CD8(+) T cells. However, only a subgroup of HLA-I+ myofibers is attacked by immune cells. By using IHC, we classified myofibers from five patients with sporadic IBM as attacked (A(IBM)) or nonattacked (N-IBM) and isolated the intracellular contents of myofibers separately by laser microdissection. For comparison, we isolated myofibers from control persons (H-CTRL). The samples were analyzed by microarray hybridization and quantitative PCR. HIA-I up-regulation was observed in A(IBM) and N-IBM, whereas H-CTRL were negative for HLA-I. In contrast, the inducible chain of the interferon (IFN) gamma receptor (IFNGR2) and several IFN-gamma-induced genes were up-regulated in A(IBM) compared with N-IBM and H-CTRL fibers. Confocal microscopy confirmed segmental IFNGR2 up-regulation on the membranes of A(IBM), which positively correlated with the number of adjacent CD8(+) T cells. Thus, the differential up-regulation of the IFN-gamma signaling cascade observed in the attacked fibers is related to local inflammation, whereas the ubiquitous HLA-I expression on IBM muscle fibers does not require IFNGR expression.
