Abstract
Aim: Since the immune system plays a role in the pathogenesis of several muscular dystrophies, we aim to characterize several muscular inflammatory features in α- (LGMD R3) and γ-sarcoglycanopathies (LGMD R5).
Materials and methods: We explored the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHCI), and we analyzed the composition of the immune infiltrates in muscle biopsies from 10 patients with LGMD R3 and 8 patients with LGMD R5, comparing the results to Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients (DMD).
Results: A consistent involvement of the immune response was observed in sarcoglycanopathies, although it was less evident than in DMD. LGMD R3-R5 and DMD shared an abnormal expression of MHCI, and the composition of the muscular immune cell infiltrate was comparable.
Conclusion: These findings might serve as a rationale to fine-tune a disease-specific immunomodulatory regimen, particularly relevant in view of the rapid development of gene therapy for sarcoglycanopathies.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropathology appears bi-monthly and publishes reviews and editorials, original papers, short communications and reports on recent advances in the entire field of clinical neuropathology. Papers on experimental neuropathologic subjects are accepted if they bear a close relationship to human diseases. Correspondence (letters to the editors) and current information including book announcements will also be published.
