Abstract | dc.description.abstract | El 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. Asociadas a la región | es_ES |
Abstract | dc.description.abstract | Sjógren'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 |
