In addition to inducing a self-limited myopathy, statin use is associated with an immune-mediated necrotizing (IMNM) myopathy with autoantibodies recognizing ~ 200 and ~100 kDa autoantigens. Identifying these molecules will clarify disease mechanism and facilitate diagnosis. The effect of statin treatment on autoantigen expression was addressed by immunoprecipitation using patient sera. The identity of the ~100 kDa autoantigen was confirmed by immunoprecipitating in vitro-translated HMGCR protein. HMGCR expression in muscle was analyzed by immunofluorescence. A cohort of myopathy patients was screened for anti-HMGCR autoantibodies by ELISA and genotyped for the rs4149056 C allele, a predictor of self-limited statin myopathy. Statin exposure induced expression of the ~200/~100 kDa autoantigens in cultured cells. HMGCR was identified as the ~100 kDa autoantigen. Competition experiments demonstrated no distinct autoantibodies recognizing the ~200 kDa protein. In muscle biopsies from anti-HMGCR positive patients, HMGCR expression was up-regulated in cells expressing NCAM, a marker of muscle regeneration. Anti-HMGCR autoantibodies were found in 45 of 750 patients presenting to the Johns Hopkins Myositis Center (6%). Among patients age 50 or older, 92% were exposed to statins. The prevalence of the rs4149056 C allele was not increased in anti-HMGCR subjects. Statins up-regulate expression of HMGCR, the major target of autoantibodies in statin-associated IMNM. Regenerating muscle cells express high levels of HMGCR, which may sustain the immune response even after statins are discontinued. These studies demonstrate a mechanistic link between an environmental trigger and the development of sustained autoimmunity. Detection of anti-HMGCR autoantibodies may facilitate diagnosis and direct therapy.
