Furthermore, infiltrating CD8+ T cells with a CD69+CD103+/- tissue-resident phenotype and with a significant elevation of IFNγ production were dominant in the submandibular glands of mice in this murine SS model.
Remarkably, ablation of ERdj5 in mice conveyed many of the cardinal features of SS, like spontaneous inflammation in SGs with infiltrating T and B lymphocytes, distinct cytokine signature, excessive cell death, reduced saliva flow, and production of anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La autoantibodies.
This review examines the relationship between TAM receptor dysfunction and SS and explores the potential contributions of TAM defects on macrophages to SS development.
Since adiponectin plays a vital role in the viability of SGEC through phosphorylation of AMPK, therapeutic interventions using PPAR agonists that upregulate adiponectin and concomitantly modify the energy metabolism, may be promising candidates for therapeutic intervention in SS.

Furthermore, ALT, AST, ALP, γ-GT, TBIL, and other indexes were positively correlated to the Th17/Treg ratio (P <.05).Th17/Treg cell level and its ratio in peripheral blood of patients with SS complicated with primary biliary cirrhosis were significantly unbalanced, indicating that Th17 cells participate in the onset of this disease to a large extent.
Three TRPV1 (Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Receptor 1) antagonists were developed for testing in situ in human skin (Sjögren et al., 2016; Sjögren et al., 2018; Sjögren et al., 2018).
In this study, T-cell PTPN2 deficiency in NOD mice markedly accelerated the onset and increased the incidence of type 1 diabetes as well as that of other disorders, including colitis and Sjögren syndrome.
GSEA suggests that the SS samples with highly expressed EIF2AK2 or TDRD7 genes are correlated with inflammatory response, interferon α response, and interferon γ response.
CD40-CD154 interactions play an important role in key pathological processes in a mouse model of SS, suggesting that blockade of this costimulatory pathway in the clinic may have beneficial therapeutic effects in patients suffering from this autoimmune exocrinopathy.
Identification of the first endogenous mammalian microRNA that binds to RIG-I inducing IFN production but also demonstrate a novel pathophysiological underlying mechanism in which miR-1248 overexpression links two major pathways associated with SS, namely activation of IFN production with modulation of calcium signaling.
The repeatability of measurements in PBS supernatant was substantial to very good for interleukin 6 (IL6), IL8, IL13, IL10, IL33, vascular endothelial growth factor, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products, and tumor necrosis factor-α; for IgG autoantibodies against aggrecan, centromere protein B (CENP-B), collagen II, collagen IV, cytochrome C, elastin, heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), HSP70, and La/Sjögren syndrome type B antigen; for IgM autoantibodies against CENP-B, collagen I, collagen II, collagen IV, cytokeratin 18, and HSP70; and for sputum neutrophils, macrophages and eosinophils count.
Furthermore, ALT, AST, ALP, γ-GT, TBIL, and other indexes were positively correlated to the Th17/Treg ratio (P <.05).Th17/Treg cell level and its ratio in peripheral blood of patients with SS complicated with primary biliary cirrhosis were significantly unbalanced, indicating that Th17 cells participate in the onset of this disease to a large extent.
Compared with the control group, both the SS-DE and non-SS-DE groups showed significant upregulation in mRNA expression levels of Nod-1 (relative 3.48-fold and 1.72-fold upregulation, respectively, P < .01), IκKα (relative 1.83-fold and 1.24-fold upregulation, respectively, P < .01), and NF-κB (relative 1.84-fold and 1.32-fold upregulation, respectively, P < .01).

Adjusted for confounding variables, anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] medications were associated with a higher prevalence of psoriasis (54 [5.7%] in IBD vs 177 [4.1%] in controls; OR = 1.50 [1.07-2.08]; p < 0.05) but lower prevalence of Sjögren (1 [0.1%] vs 39 [0.9%]; OR [95% CI] = 0.13 [0.02-0.94]; p < 0.05) and coeliac disease (11 [1.2%] vs 68 [1.6%]; OR [95% CI] = 0.51 [0.27-0.99]; p < 0.05).
It is still unclear whether myocardial infarction associated transcript 2 (Mirt2)-miR-377 mediates the inflammatory pathogenesis in Sjögren's syndrome (SS).
