Reduced sulfation of muc5b is linked to xerostomia in patients with Sjogren syndrome
(CIENCIAS, 2008)
Objectives: MUC5B contains sulfated and sialylated oligosaccharides that sequester water required for moisturising the oral mucosa. Xerostomia, in patients with Sjogren syndrome, is generally associated with reduced ...
Changes in Rab3D Expression and Distribution in the Acini of Sjogren's Syndrome Patients Are Associated With Loss of Cell Polarity and Secretory Dysfunction
(CIENCIAS, 2011)
OBJECTIVE: Oral and ocular dryness are frequent and serious symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) that reflect problems in secretion due to glandular dysfunction. Exocytosis, an important process in the secretory pathway, ...
Salivary mucins induce a Toll-like receptor 4-mediated pro-inflammatory response in human submandibular salivary cells: are mucins involved in Sjogren's syndrome?
(CIENCIAS, 2015)
Objectives. A hallmark characteristic of SS patients is the ectopic presence of the mucins MUC5B and MUC7 in the extracellular matrix of salivary glands that have lost apical-basolateral acinar-cell polarity. This study ...
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 in the saliva of patients with Sjogren's syndrome: comment on the article by Goicovich et al - Reply
(CIENCIAS, 2004)
To The Editor: We would like to thank Drs. Konttinen and Azuma fortheir interesting comments concerning some of the observa-tions in our recently published article. We will focus here on 3specific issues raised, namely the ...
Decreased salivary sulphotransferase activity correlated with inflammation and autoimmunity parameters in Sjogren's syndrome patients
(CIENCIAS, 2012)
OBJECTIVES: To determine the expression and enzymatic activities of sulphotransferases involved in mucin hyposulphation in labial salivary glands (LSGs) from SS patients and to correlate sulphotransferase activity with ...
Involvement of specific laminins and nidogens in the active remodeling of the basal lamina of labial salivary glands from patients with Sjogren's syndrome
(CIENCIAS, 2006)
OBJECTIVE: To investigate remodeling of the basal lamina of labial salivary glands (LSGs) from patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) by analyzing the expression of specific components that participate in its assembly and ...
THU0053 Three Dimensional HSG Cells Culture as A Model to Study the Exocitic Process in Salivary Glands of SjÖGren's Syndrome Patients
(CIENCIAS, 2014)
Background Labial salivary glands (LSG) from Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients show impaired cell-polarity, alterations of SNARE proteins localization and presence of salivary mucins in the extracellular matrix. Exocytosis ...
Basal lamina disorganisation of the acini and ducts of labial salivary glands from patients with Sjogren's syndrome: association with mononuclear cell infiltration
(CIENCIAS, 2006)
Objective: To study the expression of laminin and type IV collagen as biomarkers of the organisation of the basal lamina of acini and ducts in labial salivary glands from patients with Sjögren’s syndrome, and to relate ...
Disruption of Tight Junction Structure in Salivary Glands From Sjogren's Syndrome Patients Is Linked to Proinflammatory Cytokine Exposure
(CIENCIAS, 2010)
OBJECTIVE: Disorganization of acinar cell apical microvilli and the presence of stromal collagen in the acinar lumen suggest that the labial salivary gland (LSG) barrier function is impaired in patients with Sjögren's ...
Increased acinar damage of salivary glands of patients with Sjogren's syndrome is paralleled by simultaneous imbalance of matrix metalloproteinase 3/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 ratios
(CIENCIAS, 2005)
OBJECTIVE: Previous findings in labial salivary glands (LSGs) from patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) suggest that increased activity and expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and MMP-3 trigger the destruction ...
