Plasma cell infiltrate populating the muscle tissue of patients with inclusion body myositis feature distinct BCR repertoire properties


ABSTRACT: Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an autoimmune and degenerative disorder of skeletal muscle. The B cell infiltrates in IBM muscle tissue are predominantly fully differentiated antibody-secreting plasma cells, with scarce naïve or memory B cells. The role of this infiltrate in the disease pathology is not well understood. To better define the humoral response in IBM, we used adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing to generate large B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire libraries from IBM muscle biopsies and compared them to those generated from dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), and circulating CD27+ memory B cells, derived from healthy controls and antibody secreting cells (ASC) collected following vaccination. The repertoire properties of the IBM infiltrate included: expanded clones that equaled or exceeded the highly clonal vaccine-associated ASC repertoire; reduced somatic mutation selection pressure in the complementary determining regions and framework regions; and enriched usage of class switched IgG and IgA isotypes, with a minor population of IgM expressing cells. These IBM IgM-expressing population revealed unique features, including an elevated somatic mutation frequency and distinct CDR3 physicochemical properties., These findings demonstrate that the IBM muscle BCR repertoire is highly distinct from DM and PM and circulating antigen-experienced subsets, suggesting that it may form through selection by a disease-specific set of antigens.
