Abstractdc.description.abstractEl Síndrome de Sjógren (SS) es una exocrinopatología inflamatoria autoinmune, de etiología desconocida, caracterizada por el deterioro de las glándulas salivales y lacrimales que causa xerostomía (sequedad bucal) y/o keratoconjunctivftib sicca (sequedad ocular). Algunos autores indican que la prevalencia del SS varía entre el 1 al 3% de la población mundial. Los factores etiológicos del SS son desconocidos, pero se postula que factores ambientales gatillarían procesos inflamatorios en individuos que poseen predisposición genética a desarrollar la enfermedad, mediante la presentación de autoantígenos a los linfocitos, los cuales iniciarían la respuesta autoinmune. Puede presentarse solo (SS primario), o en compañía de otras enfermedades autoinmunes (SS secundario), tales como artritis reumatoidea. Su manifestación puede ocurrir a cualquier edad, diagnosticándose mayoritariamente en mujeres de entre 40 y 50 años, en una relación de 9:1 con respecto a hombres. La predominancia de la enfermedad en mujeres parece relacionarse con las alteraciones hormonales que ocurren alrededor de la menopausia. Las unidades secretoras de las glándulas salivales, conocidas como acinos, están formadas por células secretoras altamente polarizadas, que poseen una región basal, donde se encuentran la maquinaria productora de la secreción salival y una región apical, por donde se descarga la secreción hacia una cavidad central, o lumen, conectada a un sistema de conductos que transporta Ia secreción salival hasta la cavidad bucal.

Abstractdc.description.abstractSjógren's Syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune inflammatory exocrinopathology of unknown etiology, characterized by commitment and deterioration of the salivary and lacrimal glands, mainly causing xerostomy (dry mouth) and/or keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye). Some authors suggest that the prevalence of SS varies from I to 3% of world population. The etiologic factors of SS are unknown, but is postulated that environmental factors would trigger inflammation in individuals who have genetic predisposition to the disease through auto-antigen presentation to lymphocytes, trigger¡ng the autoimmune response. It may occur alone (primary SS) or in the company of other autoimmune diseases (secondary SS) such as rheumatoid arthritis. Your manifestation can occur at any age, mostly diagnosed in women between 40 and 50 years, in a 9:1 ratio to men. The prevalence of the disease in women appears to be assoc¡ated with hormonal changes that occur around menopause. The secretory units of salivary glands, known as acini, are formed by highly polarized secretory cells, which have a basal region, where the cell are producing sal¡va secretion and an apical region, where the secretion is discharged into a central cavi§, called lumen, connected to a duct system that carries the salivary secretion to the oral cavity. Associated with the basal region of acini are located a star-shaped cell type called myoepithelial cells, whose function is believed to be related to the mobilization of the secretion from the acln¡ to the duct system, probably by increasing the pressure on these by movements of contraction. ln patients with SS, the deterioration of the salivary glands may affect cellular processes related with the transport and secretion of saliva, affecting the normal operat¡on. Reported alterations in the morphology of the apical region of acinar cell including loss of microvilli, increased lumen size, fusion and accumulation of secretory granules, suggest the occurrence of changes at the cytoskeleton. ln this study, we observed a disrupt¡on of the three components of the cytoskeleton, especially in actin filaments, which are redistributed to the basal region of acinar cells, together with other proteins involved in cell dynamics of actin. On the other hand, we have studied the organization of myoepithelial cells in relation to acinar cells.es_ES
