N1 - Funding Information: Objective: A key intracellular event in IBM pathogenic cascade is increased transcription and accumulation of amyloid-beta precursor protein, including its product A-beta. IBM vacuolated muscle fibers (VMFs) contain accumulation of free cholesterol (FC), which colocalizes with A-beta. Caveolae are plasma membrane microdomains important in maintaining FC homeostasis. Caveolin-1 (Cav-1), a major protein of caveolae, binds FC and regulates intracellular FC traffic. Expression of Cav-1 is regulated by intracellular FC level. Methods: In 10 IBM, 19 disease and 6 normal muscle biopsies, Cav-1 was studied by light-and electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry and immunoblots. Results: In IBM, 80-90% of the VMFs had plaque-like Cav-1-immunoreactive inclusions, which colocalized with accumulated FC and A-beta. By gold-immuno-EM Cav-1 was localized on amorphous, vesicular and tubular structures, and 6-10nm fibrils. None of the control muscle biopsies contained cav-1 inclusions characteristic of IBM VMFs. By immunoblots, Cav-1 migrated as a 22 kDa band and its expression was increased in IBM, as compared to controls. Conclusions: 1) Our studies provide the first demonstration of Cav-1 abnormalities in human muscle; 2) Abnormal accumulation of Cav-1, and its co-localization with FC and A-beta in IBM VMFs, suggests its novel role in IBM pathogenesis, such as possibly influencing a) abnormalities of FC trafficking, b) A-beta deposition, and c) signal transduction.
