However, their roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmune skeletal muscle diseases have not been clarified despite their distribution in skeletal muscle. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the roles of mast cells in the development of autoimmune skeletal muscle diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                     <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                        <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                        <jats:p>The number of mast cells in the affected muscle was examined in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) or polymyositis (PM). The susceptibility of mast cell-deficient WBB6F1-Kit<jats:sup>W<\/jats:sup>\/Kit<jats:sup>Wv<\/jats:sup> mice (W\/W<jats:sup>v<\/jats:sup> mice) to a murine model of polymyositis, C protein-induced myositis (CIM), was compared with that of wild-type (WT) mice.

The number of CD8<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup> T cells and macrophages in the skeletal muscles of CIM decreased in W\/W<jats:sup>v<\/jats:sup> mice compared with WT mice. Engraftment of BMMCs restored the incidence and histological scores of CIM in W\/W<jats:sup>v<\/jats:sup> mice.
