This federal Project Grant award, valued at $926,078.00 and provided by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) under CFDA 93.846 Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research, aims to investigate the role of autoantibodies against membrane repair proteins in the pathogenesis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), also known as myositis.

The primary awardee, The Ohio State University, will conduct research to: 1) define the mechanistic role of these autoantibodies in myositis, 2) determine if patient autoantibodies directed against membrane repair proteins are sufficient to induce myositis, and 3) test the efficacy of improving skeletal muscle membrane integrity as a novel therapeutic strategy for treating myositis. The project will involve collaborations with sub-awardees at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Kentucky, who will provide patient samples, clinical data, and conduct preclinical studies on a muscular dystrophy mouse model to evaluate the efficacy of a protein therapeutic that enhances membrane repair. The award period is from Sep 24, 2024 to Jul 31, 2029.
