In this study, we investigated the mechanism of action of Pax3, which is reduced in SS and can interact with Id3, in NOD/ShiLtJ mice as an animal model of SS.
First, using quantitative PCR, we demonstrated significantly higher mRNA expression levels of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), IL-10, and TGFβ in LSGs of IgG4-RD than SS and healthy controls (HCs).
Animal models suggest that early markers of Sjögren syndrome (EMS)-antibodies against salivary protein 1, parotid secretory protein, and carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6)-are more accurate signals of early Sjögren when compared with classic markers (anti-Ro and anti-La).
Decreased circulating CXCR3 + CCR9+T helper cells are associated with elevated levels of their ligands CXCL10 and CCL25 in the salivary gland of patients with Sjögren's syndrome to facilitate their concerted migration.

The significant increase of tear and conjunctival IL8 and CXCR1 levels in patients with oMMP when compared to healthy subjects and patients with Sjogren syndrome suggests that changes of IL8 pathway are specific of oMMP and may represent a potential biomarker of the disease and/or therapeutic target.
Among the up-regulated DEGs in IgG4-RD, quantitative PCR confirmed significantly higher expression levels of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL18) and lactotransferrin in LSGs of IgG4-RD than SS and HCs.
Decreased circulating CXCR3 + CCR9+T helper cells are associated with elevated levels of their ligands CXCL10 and CCL25 in the salivary gland of patients with Sjögren's syndrome to facilitate their concerted migration.
When compared to healthy controls, both Sema3A and Sema7A levels were decreased in SLE and increased in RA; increased Sema3A level and decreased Sema7A level were found in SS.

Other genes shown to be implicated in SS lymphoproliferation include genes involved a. in inflammatory responses such as the NFκB regulator Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3) and the Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor A3 (LILRA3) immunoreceptor, b.
Our results show that the oral administration of rebamipide suppressed SS progression and the level of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-17, in the salivary glands and spleen of NOD/ShiLtJ mice.
The analysis identified a cluster of transcripts associated with Sjögren's foci, including messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for C⁻X⁻C motif chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) and B-cell activating factor (BAFF), which dominated the major principal component.
