Type I IFN signature in primary Sjögren’s syndrome patients

Abstract: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates in salivary and lacrimal glands. Clinical manifestations range from ocular and oral dryness to vasculitis and severe fatigue. pSS is a disease with heterogeneous symptoms and a variable response to the available treatment. Recently, a key role for Interferon (IFN) type I has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pSS. As type I IFN consists of 17 different subtypes, it cannot be easily assessed using a co… Show more

“…Similarly, elimination of the type 1 interferon receptor, or interferon itself, was shown to eliminate multiple features of SS, supporting the notion promoted in human studies on SS that type 1 interferon is a major driver of disease pathogenesis in SS [50,51,52,53]. …”

“…The clinical presentation of different AID varies, but evidence from genome-wide association studies points toward common immunogenetic mechanisms, as many systemic AID share disease-associated genes (231). Another trait particularly shared amongst different antibody-driven AID is the expression of a T1-IFN signature in both blood- and disease-affected tissue (232234), the strength of which generally correlates with disease activity and severity (235238). Vice versa , T1-IFN immunotherapy as treatment for other diseases is known to cause symptoms similar to those observed in AID, such as development of psoriatic lesions in MS or hepatitis C-infected patients (239, 240).…”

“…There are scarcely no studies determining the eNOS function and NO generation in pSS. However, some recent data shows increased oxidative stress in pSS and association of disease with IFN-I signature, which could exert indirect effects as described above [174][175][176]. Therefore, pSS emerges due to the similarity to SLE and RA and also due to the fact that most patients are out on medication, as an interesting model to study atherosclerosis in autoimmune diseases.…”
