Goals - 1
a) Recognize the Symptoms and Signs of
Sjogren’s Syndrome.
b) Understand the principles of treatment of
dry eyes and dry mouth.
Goals - 2
Looking into the future:
c) Why is a “neurotransmitter” (cevimeline) useful
in an autoimmune disease?
d)
How does an “autoimmune” disease like SS
provide insight into:
•
•
•
Multiple Sclerosis
Alzheimer’s disease
Fibromyalgia
where dryness is present due to
cholinergic outflow imbalance?
Take Home Lesson - 1
1. Sjogren’s is characterized by dry eyes and dry
mouth due to lymphocytic infiltrates in the
glands.
2. The glands are not “totally destroyed” (only
50% of the acini and ducts are damaged).
3. The the residual glands are “paralyzed” by local
release of cytokines and metalloproteinases.
Take Home Lesson - 2
3. Therapy of Sjogren’s requires attention to
topical treatment of dry mucosal surfaces
and systemic therapy for extraglandular
manifestations.
4. Sjogren’s provides a prototype to
understand the interaction of immune
effects on exocrine, endocrine, and
neurocrine function.
Background
Historical
1892 - Mickulicz describes KCS (but term too
vague-did not distinguish TBC and lymphoma)
1933 - Sjogren (distinguished from Vitamin D deficiency)
1953 - Morgan and Castleman- NEJM CPC
1956 - Bloch, Buchanan, Wohl, Bunim- Medicine
defined the disease as we know it today
1980’s - Criteria consensus established for Sjogren’s
1990 - Organized therapeutic trials based on
rational understanding of pathogenesis
New International Criteria - 1
1. Ocular Symptoms
2. Oral Symptoms
3. Salivary gland function
(flow rate by flow rate, scan, or sialography)
AND
4. Histopathology (focus score > 1)
5. Autoantibody to SS-A or SS-B
New International Criteria - 2
New Criteria for SS (cont’d)
Exclusions:
•
Pre-existing lymphoma, sarcoid
•
Hepatitis B or C (15% in EEC)
•
Drugs with Anticholinergic side
effects
(measurements of tear/saliva with
patient off drug for 3 half lives)
What is Sjogren’s?
There is good agreement about diagnosis
for the patient with florid symptoms
of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS),
parotid swelling,
and
high titer ANA with SS-A/SS-B.
Issues in the patient
with true Sjogren’s
1. Treatment of Dry Eyes and Mouth
2. Extent and treatment
3. Reassurance
of
And
extra glandular Disease
Education
• steroids
encourage patients to access
• DMARDs
internet via Google Scholar
• biologics
(rather than Google)
Fibromyalgia /Cognitive
Symptoms
Two of the most difficult diagnostic and
therapeutic situations:
•
•
The patient with documented SS,
who has symptoms of fibromyalgia and cognitive loss;
AND:
The patient with complaint of
dryness and a positive ANA
but with little else to suggest an autoimmune process.
Are the symptoms related to SS?
Differential Diagnosis in
Fatigue and Cognitive Loss
1. Primary Sjogren’s with secondary fibromyalgia
3. Other causes:
• Demyelination
• Neuropathy
• Atherosclerotic/thrombotic
infection
2. Patient with
complaints of
• Dryness and Fibromyalgia
but little else to suggest SS
Fibromyalgia
Fatigue and cognitive change are major
causes of disability in Sjogren’s syndrome.
These complaints are so dominant
that they often make clinical trials in SS
or SLE difficult to interpret.
Clinical Clues to Diagnosis of
Cognitive Loss and Fatigue
Primary Sjogren’s
• CNS vasculitis - ESR, CRP, spinal fluid
• Thrombosis -- anticoagulants
• Infection - CRP, spinal fluid
• Demyelinating lesion - MRI, spinal fluid
• Accelerated atherosclerosis - lipid profile, homocysteine
• Hypothyroid
• Autonomic Neuropathy
• Drug toxicity
• Sleep disorder
(apnea, nocturnal myoclonus)
•Fibromyalgia
•Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder
•Attention Deficit Disorder
•Depression
We have found brief
neuro-psychometric testing
helpful to guide therapy:
1. Assess for (true) disability- medical/legal,
especially if they are seeking disability benefits
(although rare to find organic brain syndrome, the results are
used to help patients alter their lifestyle)
2. Assess for depression- (duloxetene/milnicaprin or
pregabalin approved therapy for fibromyalgia in US).
Tricycyclics unlikely to be tolerated due to dryness
3. Assess decreased “executive function”
(i.e., multi-tasking) often exacerbated by stress

Pathogenesis
Pathogenesis of Sjogren’s:
the major misunderstanding
The salivary and lacrimal glands are not fully destroyed.
In fact, only 50% of the acini and ducts are destroyed.
The residual ducts are not functioning due to
the release of cytokines and metalloproteinases.
In Sjogren’s syndrome,
many acini and ducts are spared
Areas of “lazy” gland
Sjogren’s
Lymphocytic
infiltrate
Normal
The key question is:
Why do the residual acini/ducts
not function optimally?
The glands and neural innervation
are present.
and…
How does this relate to
symptoms, pathogenesis and therapy?
When patients describe
irritation of eyes or mouth…
they are describing
increased friction
as the lid transverses the globe,
or the tongue moves over
the buccal mucosa.
Normally the upper eyelid
glides over the globe
on a coating called the tear film
composed of water, protein, mucins
eyelid
orbit
tear film
When the tear film is inadequate,
the upper lid sticks to the surface of the orbit
and actually pulls off the surface layer
of the ocular surface.
eyelid
orbit
Tear film
The
Sjogren’s
patient is
describing
increased
friction
as the upper
lid moves
over the globe
Dryness results in the clinical appearance of
keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS)
characteristic of Sjogren’s syndrome
The upper lid
literally sticks to
the surface epithelial
surface and pulls
surface mucin layers off.
The Rose Bengal
dye retention
is like
“rain water pooling
in a street pothole.”
This test can be
done at bedside
and allows
“triage” and rapid
referral of patients
to Ophthalmology.
Sjogren’s and Dry mouth
The decrease in saliva leads to:
• Difficulty swallowing and talking
• Increased incidence of dental decay
Sjogren’s Syndrome- Cervical Dental Caries
To understand the symptoms of
SS and the role of cevimeline…
We must first review the concept of
the functional circuit
that governs tear and saliva.
Normal tearing or salivation

Reasons for glandular dysfunction
in Sjogren’s

interfere with release of Ach/VIP
from nerve endings
and
2. Response to Ach by glandular cells

Cevimeline actions
•
In Alzheimer’s studies, it remains the only drug ever
shown to decrease the level of beta amyloid plaque in
CNS of Alzheimer’s patients.
•
However, sweating and salivation as side effects
limited cevimeline clinical use in Alzheimer’s,
and led to development of Aricept.
Pilocarpine (Salagen)
1.
Derived from shrub jaccorhandi pilocarpi.
2.
Used by natives in South America
(known as slobber mouth).
3.
Introduced into Europe in late 1860’s
based on its ability to induce profound sweating.
4.
In 1893, used for a patient with xerostomia.
5.
In 1990’s, used for radiation xerostomia and later
for Sjogren’s syndrome.
Muscarinic Receptors
There are at least 5 receptors (M1-M5),
but we will concentrate on M1 and M3 mAChR
that are found on the salivary gland.
The muscarinic receptors are members of
the super family of G-protein coupled receptors.

Hints for Successful
Use of Cevimeline in SS - 1
1. Make sure that oral yeast is treated
(probably the most common failure for
expected results)
2. Start cevimeline at 30 mg BID
(preferable 1/2 hr before meals)
Use of Cevimeline in SS - 2
3. After 1-2 wks, may increase to
cevimeline TID
and if tolerated, can use QID.
4. Identify medications (including
herbal or sleeping aids)
with anti-cholinergic properties
and discontinue those.
Use of Cevimeline in SS - 3
5. Sweating may only be transient,
so reassure patient.
6. GI symptoms may also be transient,
thus, consider adding omeprazole
or other proton pump inhibitor.
SUMMARY - 1
1. New diagnostic criteria have been
developed that should diminish confusion
in clinical practice and in the research
literature.
2. Sjogren’s provides a model to study the
interaction of the immune system with the
neural, exocrine, and endocrine systems.
SUMMARY - 2
3. Patients with Sjogren’s have residual
glandular tissue, but it does not
function adequately.
4. Cevimeline provides an opportunity
to explore the new frontiers of
neurobiology.
SUMMARY - 3
5. Both Pilocarpine and Cevimeline
are effective in decreasing symptoms of
dry mouth and oral discomfort.
6. Both Pilocarpine and Cevimeline are
approved by FDA for dry mouth and
further study pending for dry eyes.
SUMMARY - 4
7. Sjogren’s syndrome serves as an
interesting prototype disease
to study the interaction
of immune and neural function
at a site accessible to biopsy.
