摘要

Sj?gren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease in which lymphocytic infiltrates develop in the exocrine glands. Pathogenetic aspects of the disease can be studied in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse strain, a spontaneous model for Sj?gren's syndrome. Apoptosis may play a role in the initation phase and in the effector phase of autoimmune diseases. Here, we have examined the role of apoptosis in the development of sialoadenitis in the NOD mouse. Apoptotic cells and the expression of apoptosis-related molecules were studied in submandibular glands (SMG) of NOD and NOD-scid mice before and after the onset of sialoadenitis. Numbers of apoptotic cells were not increased as compared with control mice, at any age. By immunohistochemistry, we demonstrated increased expression of Fas, Fas ligand (FasL), and bcl-2 on SMG epithelial cells of NOD and NOD-scid mice, as early as 3 days of age. mRNA expression of Fas and FasL was also examined in SMG by RQ-PCR. Low-level expression of Fas and FasL mRNA was observed in all mouse strains, from 1 day of age onward. We conclude that increased protein expression of Fas and FasL on SMG epithelial cells of NOD and NOD-scid mice probably indicates a genetically programmed abnormality in these cells that may form a trigger for the development of sialoadenitis in NOD mice. Because increased numbers of apoptotic cells were not observed, a role for actual apoptosis in the initiation or effector phase of sialoadenitis in the NOD mouse is unlikely.
