Selective localization of T helper subsets in labial salivary glands from primary Sjögren's syndrome patients
The aim of this study was to investigate the initiation and progression of autoimmune damage in the lesions of labial salivary glands (LSGs) from primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients by examining the selective localization of T helper (Th) subsets such as Th1, Th2, Th17 regulatory T cells (T(regs)) and follicular T helper cells (Tfh). The expression of cytokines and transcription factors as...
متن کاملObservations of Nerve Terminals in Human Labial Salivary Glands
The existence of a motor innervation to the secretory and myoepithelial elements of salivary glands has been supported amply by physiological and pharmacological studies extending over a century (reviewed in Babkin, 1950 ; Emmelin, 1967) . However, the exact morphological nature of this innervation at the acinar level is less well established, and has been the subject of several conflicting rep...
متن کاملDetection of AA-type amyloid protein in labial salivary glands.
OBJECTIVES Among the diverse forms of amyloidosis, secondary type is the most frequent one. Diagnosis of amyloid deposition is based on the identification of the fibrillary protein amyloid by means of Congo Red (CR) or crystal violet (CV) stains, but these techniques do not differentiate between the different types of amyloid fibrils. The aim of this study was to identify by immunofluorescence ...
متن کاملUltrasound of the Salivary Glands
The parotid gland is the largest salivary gland, measuring on average 46mm in the vertical dimension by 37mm in the horizontal dimension. It lies below the zygomatic arch, between the posterior ramus of the mandible anteriorly and the mastoid process and the sternocleidomastoid muscle posteriorly. The gland extends a short distance over the superficial aspect of the masseter muscle (figure 1). ...
متن کاملThe Histopathology of Labial Salivary Glands in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome: Focusing on Follicular Helper T Cells in the Inflammatory Infiltrates
Recently, we revealed the importance of follicular helper T cells (T(FH)) in the pathogenesis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). In the present study, we focused on the site of the inflammation and determined the composition of lymphocyte infiltration in labial salivary gland (LSG) biopsies with special emphasis on T(FH) and germinal center B cells. We selected tissue blocks obtained from ten...
