Annexin expression in inflammatory myopathies

Abstract: The pathogenesis of the inflammatory myopathies is still unclear, making their treatment largely empirical. Improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms of inflammatory muscle injury may, however, lead to the development of more specific immunotherapies. To elucidate a possible pathogenic contribution of calcium-binding proteins such as the annexins, we immunohistochemically investigated muscle biopsy specimens from patients with dermatomyositis (10 cases), polymyositis (9 cases), and inclusion-body myos… Show more

“…Thus, these results present the possibility that rVvpE influences the structure and localization of ANXA2 through lipid rafts to promote proinflammatory signaling in intestinal epithelial cells. Compelling evidence further supported the critical role of ANXA2 in inflammatory myopathies (43) as well as in inflammatory bowel disease (44). Taken together, our finding that VvpE induces proinflammatory responses via an ANXA2-dependent mechanism provides information about the important mechanisms of pathogen-induced cell death during V. vulnificus infection.…”

“…Several members of the annexin family (e.g. annexins A1, A2, and A5) are differentially expressed in normal muscle relative to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and the three annexins are highly expressed in macrophages and T cells in dystrophin-deficient muscle (18,43). The annexins could therefore have a role in the inflammatory response in muscular dystrophy, and MDC1A is indeed characterized by early-onset transient inflammation (44).…”

“…First, tissues expressing annexin A1 include those mentioned above as known locales of plasma membrane disruption. Second, humans with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, in which the frequency of sacrolemma disruption is greatly increased, exhibit enhanced levels of skeletal muscle annexin (several family members) expression (13), and humans with dysferlin-related muscular dystrophy specifically exhibit an increase in annexin A1 expression (14). Third, Ca 2ϩ -activated annexin A1 can aggregate and, in some cases, fuse phospholipids bilayers (12).…”
