摘要
We summarize the molecular phenotype, diagnostic criteria, and the newest advances related to seeking the pathogenic mechanism(s) of sporadic inclusion-body myositis (s-IBM), a muscle disease usually of persons over age 50. On the basis of our research, several processes seem to be important in relation to the still-speculative pathogenesis: 1) increased transcription and accumulation of amyloid-P precursor protein (APPP), and accumulation of its proteolytic fragment A beta; 2) abnormal accumulation of cholesterol, caveolin-1, and apolipoprotein E; 3) oxidative stress; 4) accumulations of intramusele fiber multiprotein aggregates; and 5) evidence that unfolded/misfolded proteins participate in s-IBM pathogenesis. Our basic hypothesis is that overexpression of APPP within the aging muscle fibers is an early upstream event causing a subsequent pathogenic cascade.
