Coordinated local overexpression of complement induced by interferon gamma in myositis


ABSTRACT: Complement proteins are deposited in the muscles of patients with myositis. However, the local expression and regulation of complement genes within myositis muscle have not been well characterized. In this study, bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analyses of muscle biopsy specimens revealed that complement genes are locally overexpressed and correlate with markers of myositis disease activity, including the expression of interferon-gamma (IFN )-induced genes. Single cell and single nuclei RNAseq analyses showed that most local expression of complement genes occurs in macrophages, fibroblasts, and satellite cells, with each cell type expressing different sets of complement genes. Biopsies from immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy patients, who have the lowest levels of IFN -induced genes, also had the lowest complement gene expression levels. Furthermore, data from cultured human cells showed that IFN upregulates complement expression in macrophages, fibroblasts, and muscle cells. Taken together, our results suggest that in myositis muscle, IFN coordinates the local overexpression of complement genes that occurs in several cell types.
