| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are characterized by decreased insulin sensitivity and higher concentrations of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the serum. Among FFAs, such as saturated fatty acids, have been reported to play a role in obesity-associated inflammation. Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by infiltration of inflammatory mononuclear cells and destruction of epithelial cells in salivary and lacrimal glands. Although epidemiological studies have suggested a link between primary SS and dyslipidemia or T2D, little is known about the clinical significance of elevated serum level of FFAs in primary SS. In this study, we demonstrate that saturated fatty acids may exacerbate the pathogenesis of primary SS via the increase of serum amyloid A and lipocalin-2, which are known as adepokines, in salivary gland epithelial cells in vivo.
