The present study was undertaken to examine the expression and functional relevance of B7 homolog 3 (B7\u2010H3), a novel B7 homolog attributed significant immunoregulatory functions, in human muscle cells in vivo and in vitro.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thirty\u2010five muscle biopsy specimens obtained from patients with polymyositis, dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis, or noninflammatory myopathies and normal controls were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for B7\u2010H3 expression. The expression of B7\u2010H3 protein on primary human myoblasts and TE671 muscle rhabdomyosarcoma cells was studied by flow cytometry and Western blot analysis. B7\u2010H3 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to study the impact of knockdown of B7\u2010H3 on CD8+ cell\u2013mediated lysis in skeletal muscle cells.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>B7\u2010H3 was not detectable on normal muscle fibers. In contrast, its expression was markedly increased on muscle fibers from patients with inflammatory myopathies. Cell\u2010surface staining was most prominent in the contact areas between muscle fibers and inflammatory cells. B7\u2010H3 protein was detected on myoblasts cultured from control and myositis patient muscle tissue as well as in TE671 muscle rhabdomyosarcoma cells. Knockdown of B7\u2010H3 by siRNA in TE671 cells enhanced CD8+ T cell\u2013specific lysis, indicating a functional role of B7\u2010H3 in the protection of skeletal muscle from immune\u2010mediated lysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results demonstrate that human muscle cells express B7\u2010H3, a functional coinhibitory molecule of the B7 family. B7\u2010H3 may play an important role in muscle\u2013immune interactions, providing further evidence of the active role of muscle cells in local immunoregulatory processes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/art.23997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,30]],"date-time":"2008-10-30T11:05:26Z","timestamp":1225364726000},"page":"3600-3608","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Human muscle cells express the costimulatory molecule B7\u2010H3, which modulates muscle\u2013immune interactions"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Anne","family":"Waschbisch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabine","family":"Wintterle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanns","family":"Lochm\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maggie C.","family":"Walter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00f6rg","family":"Wischhusen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernd C.","family":"Kieseier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heinz","family":"Wiendl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)14368-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nri916"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1471-4906(00)01822-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0046-8177(89)90128-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5728(03)00093-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.it.2005.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.immunol.23.021704.115611"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/85339"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.172.4.2352"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.168.12.6294"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-0039.2007.00853.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0405259101"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/ajplung.00132.2003"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1165\/rcmb.2004-0129OC"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9440(10)62990-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lungcan.2006.05.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awg114"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nbd.2006.11.008"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199111213252107"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00019052-199410000-00013"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jnen\/60.1.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410380504"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/124.2.341"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awg017"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1068999"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eji.200425518"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.173.9.5445"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_29_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.gt.3302070"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_30_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ni967"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_31_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.173.4.2500"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_32_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/eji.200636841"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_33_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.bor.0000184164.69181.ca"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_34_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.10462"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_35_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/1521-4141(200211)32:11<3092::AID-IMMU3092>3.0.CO;2-0"}],"container-title":["Arthritis &amp;
