Abstract

Despite recent advancements in the knowledge of the etiology and pathogenic mechanisms, treatment of the autoimmune disease Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) remains mostly empiric and symptom-based, indicating the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Ectodysplasin-A2 (EDA-A2) is a recently isolated member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily that binds to X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor (XEDAR). In this report, we have analyzed the expression and the biological activity of EDA-A2 in human salivary gland epithelial cells (SGEC) from primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) patients. We report that EDA-A2 and its receptor XEDAR are overexpressed in pSS SGEC in comparison with healthy individuals and that the EDA-A2/XEDAR system in these cells is involved in the induction of apoptosis via caspases activation. Collectively, our results suggest that EDA-A2/XEDAR system may be a promising agent for the gene therapy of pSS.
