Perturbation of transcriptome in non-neoplastic salivary gland epithelial cell lines derived from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome. | LitMetric
The data presented here are related to the research article titled " (Vakrakou et al., Journal of Autoimmunity, in press, 2017). In the cited manuscript, using comparative analyses of salivary gland biopsy specimens and ductal salivary gland epithelial cell (SGEC) lines from SS patients and disease controls, we have demonstrated that the ductal epithelia of SS patients display constitutively reduced PPARγ expression, transcriptional activity and anti-inflammatory function that were associated with cell-autonomously activated NF-κB and IL-1β pathways in these cells. Herein, the comparative transcriptome analysis of SGEC lines is presented. We show that the ductal epithelia of SS patients with severe lymphoepithelial lesions manifest constitutive perturbation in various inflammation- and metabolism related signaling pathways.
Introduction: Thyroid lesions are one of the most common diseases observed in clinical practice in the North India. These diseases have distinct cytological morphology and thus FNAC is done frequently. Here we report a case of adenomatoid goitre mimicking adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland on cytology.
This study aims to investigate the diagnostic values of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and frozen section (FS) in evaluating parotid gland masses subjected to parotidectomy. A retrospective analysis of data from 274 patients who underwent parotidectomy for parotid gland masses was performed at the Department of Otolaryngology of the University Hospital between 2013 and 2019. We compared the preoperative FNAC and intraoperative FS records with the definitive histopathological diagnoses obtained from the surgical resection specimens.
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder primarily affecting exocrine glands, leading to symptoms such as dry mouth and dry eyes. While SS can occur as a primary condition, it may overlap with other autoimmune diseases, complicating management. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), a liver disorder characterized by elevated serum globulins and liver-specific autoantibodies, can co-occur with SS, although this overlap is rare.
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign histological form of salivary gland tumors, particularly in the parotid gland, primarily affecting women between the ages of 40 and 60. However, its occurrence in the trachea is very rare. This article reports the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with progressive dyspnea and weight loss, initially suspected of having a pulmonary embolism.
Background: Sialoblastoma is an uncommon salivary gland neoplasm seen predominantly in the paediatric age group. It poses diagnostic challenges to the pathologists because of its rarity.
Case Report: Here, we present the cytological features of a case of sialoblastoma in 5-month-old baby boy on imprint cytology.
