“…The aberrant up-regulation of these cytokines may initiate a vicious circle in which enhanced levels of BAFF and APRIL act in an autocrine manner to reinforce the systemic activation of the humoral immune system. Studies have demonstrated that BAFF-R expression is reduced on peripheral B cells of patients with primary pSS and SLE and that decreased BAFF receptor expression on peripheral lymphocytes is associated with increased disease activity in pSS and SLE [40]. We should therefore include antibodies to BAFF-receptor and APRIL in the SLE-specific array.…”

“…[31][32][33][34] In addition, BAFF-R weak expression could be explained by possible down-regulation of BAFF-R arising from BAFF binding. [35][36][37] EBV activates the NF-B pathway through LMP1 protein, and the link between this activation pathway and lymphomas has also been described. 12,15 As expected, in our series, all 11 NGC DLBCL cases positive for LMP1 were associated with NF-B activation.…”

“…The expression of BAFF-R on peripheral B cells in 20 SjS patients was decreased compared to that in 15 controls and there was no difference in BAFF-R mRNA levels of B cells between SjS patients and controls [98]. On the other hand, in a study of BAFF-R expression in the salivary glands, the expression of BAFF-R on B cells was observed, but the expressions of TACI and BCMA were not [96].…”
