B细胞在原发性干燥综合征发病机制及治疗中的研究进展

Research progress of B cells in pathogenesis and treatment of primary Sjögren's syndrome

  • 摘要: 原发性干燥综合征(pSS)是一种全身性自身免疫性疾病,临床以免疫介导的腺体受累导致眼干、口干为主要特征,可伴有疲劳、骨骼肌疼痛和其他全身症状。B淋巴细胞活化是pSS的一个主要特征,B细胞活化因子(BAFF)水平升高与疾病活动度、异位生发中心形成和血清自身抗体水平相关。目前针对pSS的治疗方法非常有限,基本为致力于改善干燥症状,故需逐渐探索与pSS相关的特异性免疫疗法。作者对改善病情抗风湿药(DMARDs)调节B细胞治疗pSS的现状进行综述并展望。

     

    Abstract: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth due to immune-mediated glandular involvement, patients with pSS may accompany by fatigue, skeletal muscle pain, and other systemic symptoms. B lymphocyte activation is a major feature of pSS, and elevated level of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is associated with disease activity, ectopic germinal center formation, and serum autoantibody levels. Currently, the treatment methods for pSS are very limited, mainly focusing on improving dry symptoms, so it is necessary to gradually explore specific immunotherapy related to pSS. In this paper, the status quo of disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) regulating B cell therapy for PSS was reviewed and prospected.
