Despite recent advances in the understanding of Sjögren's Syndrome (SjS), the
pathogenic mechanisms remain elusive and an ideal model for early drug discovery
is not yet available. To establish a humanized mouse model of SjS, peripheral
blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from healthy volunteers or patients with SjS were
transferred into immunodeficient NOD-scid IL-2r?(null) mouse recipients to
produce chimeric mice. While no difference was observed in the distribution of
cells, chimeric mice transferred with PBMCs from SjS patients produced enhanced
cytokine levels, most significantly IFN-? and IL-10. Histological examination
revealed enhanced inflammatory responses in the lacrimal and salivary glands of
SjS chimeras, as measured by digital image analysis and blinded histopathological
scoring. Infiltrates were primarily CD4+, with minimal detection of CD8+ T-cells
and B-cells. These results demonstrate a novel chimeric mouse model of human SjS
that provides a unique in vivo environment to test experimental therapeutics and
investigate T-cell disease pathology.
