Popis: | Summary Type III interferons (IFNs) or IFN-λs (IFN-λ1/IL29, IFN-λ2/interleukin (IL)−28A and IFN-λ3/IL-28B) consist of a recently identified group of IFNs, implicated initially in several human diseases, including cancer and autoimmunity. In this study, we sought to investigate the expression of type III IFNs and their common receptor IFN-λR1/IL-28Ra in Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Type III IFN expression was examined in minor salivary gland tissues (MSG), peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), sera and resting or Toll-like receptor (TLR)-stimulated salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC) from SS patients and sicca-complaining controls. All type III IFN family members were detected in ductal and acinar epithelia of MSGs from both SS patients and sicca controls. IFN-λ2/IL-28A and IFN-λ3/IL-28B were also expressed in infiltrating mononuclear cells. In SS patients with intermediate MSG lesions, the epithelial expression of IFN-λ2/IL-28A was more intense compared to sicca controls (P |
