摘要
In polymyositis (PM)/dermatomyositis (DM), T cells infiltrate the muscle tissues and interact with muscle cells via cell surface molecules. Recently, myoblasts have been reported to express CD40, but little is known about the role of CD40 in myoblasts, In the present study we examined the expression and involvement of CD40 and CD40 ligand (CD40L) in the interaction between muscle cells and T cells in PM/DM. immunohistochemical staining revealed that CD40 was expressed on muscle cells in five of five PM and four of five DM patients, and that infiltrating. mononuclear cells (MNCs) expressed CD40L in all cases of PM/DM, These CD40L-expressing MNCs were primarily CD4+ T cells, IFN-gamma, which is known to induce CD40 expression on various types of cells, was also expressed on the MNCs in four of the PM and four of the DM patients. Although cultured human myoblasts (SkMC 2859) did not express CD40 constitutively, IFN-gamma induced CD40 expression in a dose-dependent manner. To clarify the functional roles of CD40-mediated signals, the effects of a trimeric form of recombinant human CD40L on cytokine production were studied in SkMC 2859 that were prestimulated with IFN-gamma to express CD40, Recombinant human CD40L markedly increased the production of IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 of SkMC 2859, The expression of these humoral factors in muscle cells of PM and DM was demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. These results suggest that interaction between T cells and muscle cells via the CD40-CD40L system contributes to the immunopathogenesis of PM/DM by augmenting inflammation via cytokine production by the muscle cells.
