Labial Gland Mesenchymal Stem Cell Derived Exosomes-Mediated miRNA-125b Attenuates Experimental Sjogren's Syndrome by Targeting PRDM1 and Suppressing Plasma Cells.

ABSTRACT: The pathogenesis of the prototypical chronic autoimmune disorder primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) has been thought to be B-cell-centric, based on serum autoantibodies, the increased risk of B cell lymphoma, and altered B cell subsets in patients with pSS. Over the last 10 years, therapies targeting B cells have been investigated for pSS; however, current evidence for the efficacy of B cell targeted therapies in pSS is still sparse. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) might represent a promising strategy for cell therapy of autoimmune diseases via regulation of immune cells. MSC-released exosomes carry various bioactive molecules and thus have been studied in MSC-based therapy. The newly discovered labial gland MSCs (LGMSCs) have exhibited enhanced performance. Herein, we aimed to determine
