Rituximab‐mediated Raf kinase inhibitor protein induction modulates NF‐κB in Sjögren syndrome

Abstract: SummaryPrimary Sj€ ogren syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by an epithelial injury surrounded by dense lymphocytic infiltrates. The conditions for the long-term maintenance of human salivary gland epithelial cells from pSS patients and a co-culture system with pSS lymphocytes were used to assess the effect of Rituximab (RTX) on the inflammatory condition and progression in pSS. Quantitative real-time PCR, genes and protein array analysis, Western blot, flow cytometry, small interfering RNA… Show more

“…On the other hand, RKIP silencing significantly activated NF-κB signalling and increased expression and release of pro-inflammatory mediators. Interestingly, RKIP expression in salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC) from pSS patients was reported to be significantly lower than that of healthy SGEC, supporting a role for RKIP in the suppression of NF-κB activation in pSS [52].…”

“…9 Similarly, an interaction of RKIP with NF-κB has been suggested to occur in primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), an autoimmune disorder characterized by an epithelial injury surrounded by dense lymphocytic infiltrates. 10 Using the human salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC) from pSS patients and a co-culture system with pSS lymphocytes, results from this study showed that up-regulation of RKIP decreased NF-kB activity. This up-regulation likely contributed to decreases in a group of inflammatory cytokines (e.g IL-1α/β, IL-13, TNF-α, IFN-γ, etc) and chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL6, CCL2, CCL13, etc).…”
