A3.3 Inflammasome is activated in healthy salivary gland epithelial cell lines by necrotic cell debris, whereas it is constitutively active in the epithelial cells of Sjögren’s syndrome patients

Abstract

Background and ObjectivesIn our laboratory, recent transcriptome expression analysis of unstimulated cultured non-neoplastic salivary gland epithelial cell lines (SGEC) from Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) patients and non-SS controls had indicated the...
