Update on the pathophysiology and treatment of primary Sjögren syndrome
Sjögren syndrome or Sjögren disease is a chronic form of autoimmune epithelitis characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to progressive glandular dysfunction and subsequent xerostomia and xerophthalmia. Other common manifestations include pain and fatigue, various systemic manifestations and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Sjögren syndrome is therefore a complex and disabling disease associated with a reduced quality of life and with considerable long-term damage. Most of the available treatments are merely symptomatic with limited efficacy in both preventing glandular damage and suppressing systemic disease activity. In the past 10 years, great progress has been made in understanding the pathophysiology of Sjögren syndrome, opening new avenues towards a more targeted and individualized therapeutic approach to the disease. Indeed, several randomized controlled trials have just been completed or are poised to commence evaluating the effectiveness of novel drugs targeting both innate and adaptive immune pathways, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, the type I interferon system, B cell activation, B cell and T cell co-stimulation pathway, and ectopic germinal centre formation. Novel clinical trials are also ongoing exploring various targeted approaches (that is, IgG recycling inhibition, nuclease therapy and CAR-T cell therapy) for Sjögren syndrome. Sjögren syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting exocrine glands, causing dryness and systemic symptoms. Treatment has been primarily symptomatic, but advances in our understanding of its pathophysiology offer promise for targeted therapies, aiming for personalized care and improved outcomes.
