Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS), an autoimmune exocrinopathy, is associated with dysfunction of the secretory salivary gland epithelium, leading to xerostomia. The etiology of SS disease progression is poorly understood as it is typically not diagnosed until late stage. Since mouse models allow the study of disease progression, we investigated the NOD/ShiLtJ mouse to explore temporal changes to the salivary epithelium. In the NOD/ShiLtJ model, SS presents secondary to autoimmune diabetes, and SS disease is reportedly fully established by 20 weeks. We compared epithelial morphology in the submandibular salivary glands (SMG) of NOD/ShiLtJ mice with SMGs from the parental strain at 12, 18, and 22 weeks of age and used immunofluorescence to detect epithelial proteins, including the acinar marker, aquaporin 5, ductal cell marker, cytokeratin 7, myoepithelial cell marker, smooth muscle α-actin, and the basal cell marker, cytokeratin 5, while confirming immune infiltrates with CD45R. We also compared these proteins in the labial salivary glands of human SS patients with control tissues. In the NOD/ShiLtJ SMG, regions of lymphocytic infiltrates were not associated with widespread epithelial tissue degradation; however, there was a decrease in the area of the gland occupied by secretory epithelial cells in favor of ductal epithelial cells. We observed an expansion of cells expressing cytokeratin 5 within the ducts and within the smooth muscle α-actin(+) basal myoepithelial population. The altered acinar/ductal ratio within the NOD/ShiLtJ SMG likely contributes to salivary hypofunction, while the expansion of cytokeratin 5 positive-basal cells may reflect loss of function or indicate a regenerative response.

Abstract
The salivary duct system in the setting of chronic sialadenitis is predisposed to undergo a variety of cellular modifications. This report documents a rare type of metaplasia of a parotid benign lymphoepithelial lesion. Epimyoepithelial islands showing focal sebaceous differentiation and pure sebaceous cell nests in addition to their usual histologic appearance were noted throughout the lesion. The possible pathogenesis is discussed through a review of the literature.

Abstract
Whether lymphoepithelial cysts in the parotid glands in HIV-infected patients develop from pre-existing salivary gland inclusions in intraparotid lymph nodes or from a lymphoepithelial lesion of salivary parenchyma is unclear. To examine their pathogenesis we performed a histological and immunohistochemical study of salivary specimens from 100 AIDS patients in different disease stages. There is a continuous morphological spectrum of changes within the salivary parenchyma, starting with lymphoid stroma infiltration and evolving to characteristic lymphoepithelial duct lesions with a immunohistochemically proven basal cell proliferation and to fully developed ductal cysts. Involvement of myoepithelial cells-postulated in comparable Sjögren-associated duct lesions-is excluded immunohistochemically. Computer-assisted 3-D reconstructions confirm an association of the cysts with the intralobular duct system. Our study disproves the prevailing hypothesis, which suggests that the lymphoid cell compartment of HIV-associated lymphoepithelial cysts stems from pre-existing intraparotid lymph nodes. The results demonstrate that a secondary lymphatic infiltration of salivary parenchyma provokes a lymphoepithelial lesion of striated ducts with basal cell hyperplasia. The frequent progression to a multifocal cystic lymphoepithelial lesion may be supported by ductal compression through a high degree of lymphofollicular hyperplasia in early disease.

Abstract
A number of autoimmune diseases predispose to the development of neoplasia. A particularly well-recognized association is the development of lymphoma in Sjögren's syndrome. Although this risk has been estimated to be 44 times that of the general population, few reliable prognostic indexes exist for individual patients. Recent advances in molecular biology have improved our understanding of Sjögren's syndrome and permitted better characterization of the generalized lymphoproliferation associated with the condition. This article reviews the histopathology of the major and minor salivary gland lesions of Sjögren's syndrome and discusses advances in molecular biology that have permitted more accurate prediction of lymphoma development in this group of patients.

Abstract
It is well recognised that lymphoma may arise in a lymphoepithelial lesion of the salivary glands. Although the histological features of this lesion are well described, it is not clear what proportion contain monoclonal populations of lymphocytes at outset. In this study, 22 routinely processed lymphoepithelial lesions in parotid glands were examined for B-cell monoclonality using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene and using in situ hybridisation or immunohistochemistry to detect kappa or lambda light chain restriction. B-cell monoclonality was identified in 17/22 (77.3%) cases using a combination of the three methods. The detection rate for B-cell monoclonality was highest using PCR with 15/22 (68%) cases containing monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements. In a proportion of cases the results of in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry were judged to be inadequate and this was probably a reflection of variations in fixation. In 7 patients, sequential biopsies were available from other sites and 6 of these also showed B-cell monoclonality. The results confirm the high prevalence of B-cell monoclonality in lymphoepithelial lesions of the major salivary glands. Furthermore, these results would suggest that PCR is a more reliable technique to identify B-cell monoclonality in routinely processed lymphoepithelial lesions compared to in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry.

Abstract
Benign lymphoepithelial lesions of the salivary glands associated with Sjögren's syndrome are characterized by extensive infiltration of lymphoid cells, atrophy of acini and the presence of so-called epimyoepithelial islands. This report describes ultrastructural and three-dimensional reconstructive studies of epimyoepithelial islands performed at Tokyo Women's Medical College. Ultrastructural examination showed that these islands are composed mainly of epithelial cells containing intermediate filaments and/or tonofilament bundles, scattered lymphocytes and plasma cells. Myoepithelium-like cells containing myofilaments were sometimes found in the peripheral portion of the myoepithelial islands. Also, mitotic figures were rarely found in these islands. Three-dimensional reconstructive study revealed that the epimyoepithelial islands are not isolated cell clusters but are continuous hypertrophic duct-like structures. These results suggest that the epimyoepithelial islands are derived from proliferating duct epithelial cells, especially those of large peripheral ducts.

Abstract
The distribution of cytokeratins (CK), actin, lactoferrin (Lf), lysozyme (Ly), vimentin and S-100 protein was immunohistochemically investigated in paraffin-embedded specimens of five inflammatory and five neoplastic lesions of lacrimal glands (LGs). Atrophic acini in dacryoadenitis reacted with antibodies (ABs) KL1 and Pkk1 (CK 7, 8, 17, 18) in a manner similar to ducts. Apart from myoepithelial cells and some luminal-duct cells, the remaining epithelia in dacryoadenitis were negative with AB 34 beta E12 (CK 5). The number of AB HHF35 (actin)-positive myoepithelial cells was not altered in dacryoadenitis. Epithelia in dacryoadenitis reacted weakly but consistently with Lf while revealing weak and inconsistent staining for Ly. Vimentin was negative in epithelial cells in dacryoadenitis except in one case. S-100 protein was detected only in epithelia of inflammatory major LGs. Epimyoepithelial islands in lymphoepithelial proliferation reacted variably for CKs, Lf, Ly and vimentin and remained negative for actin and S-100. In pleomorphic adenomas, neoplastic cells showing duct-like differentiation (luminal) reacted consistently with CK 7, 8, 17, 18 and S-100 protein and inconsistently with CK 5, Lf and Ly but remained negative for actin and vimentin. Other neoplastic cells (ovoid/peripheral cells) stained consistently for CK 5, vimentin and S-100 protein and focally for CK 7, 8, 17, 18, actin, Lf and Ly. Spindle-form neoplastic cells found in the stroma exhibited vimentin and S-100 protein and, less frequently, actin. Determination of these antigens in pleomorphic LG adenomas may help to evaluate their prognosis.

Abstract
The immunoreactivity pattern for different monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratins and to vimentin in epimyoepithelial islands typical for glands of patients with Sjögren's syndrome has been compared with that of normal parotid gland tissue. Two types of epithelial island cells were observed: one had an intermediate filament protein pattern similar to that of ordinary duct epithelial cells of normal parotid gland. The other had an intermediate filament protein pattern typical of myoepithelial and/or basal duct cells in normal glands. Thus, we conclude that the islands are composed of a mixed population of gland cells on the basis of their content of cytokeratins or of cytokeratins and vimentin. These cells might originate from pluripotential reserve cells or from ordinary duct, myoepithelial and/or basal duct cells which may have undergone metaplasia.

Abstract
Knowledge of the processes leading to the development of epimyoepithelial islands bears on histogenetic and morphogentic processes in salivary gland tumors. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural investigations of the cellular composition of epimyoepithelial islands were carried out on three examples of benign lymphoepithelial lesions with varying histologic features. The monoclonal anti-keratin antibody 312C8-1, which specifically decorates myoepithelial cells of the normal salivary gland, also stains the myoepithelial cells surrounding residual acini and intercalated ducts in benign lymphoepithelial lesions and the cell population of epimyoepithelial islands, with the exception of persisting luminal epithelial cells. Ultrastructurally, the myoepithelial cells of involuting acini and ducts and the modified myoepithelial cells of epimyoepithelial islands, identified in both locations by the monoclonal antibody 312C8-1, show an increasing complement of tonofilament bundles. In addition, persisting lumens (often distended with lymphocytes) and definite luminal epithelial cells can be seen in electron micrographs of some epimyoepithelial islands. The designation for this characteristic epithelial feature of benign lymphoepithelial lesions is therefore appropriate.

Abstract
The organization of salivary gland ducts, especially the presence or absence of myoepithelial cells, is central to histogenetic approaches to the classification of salivary gland tumors. Striated and excretory ducts are reported to be devoid of myoepithelial cells but do contain basal cells. To investigate the nature of such basal cells, tissue sections of normal human salivary glands were examined by means of immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and fluorescent microscopic techniques. With the use of a mouse monoclonal anticytokeratin antibody (3 12C8-1) that, in salivary glands, is specific for myoepithelial cells, these cells associated with acini and intercalated ducts were strongly stained, as were the basal cells of striated and excretory ducts in each case. Ultrastructurally, some basal cells of both striated and excretory ducts had narrow, elongated cellular processes or the main portion of the cell containing parallel arrays of microfilaments with linear densities and micropinocytotic vesicles, whereas in other basal cells tonofilament bundles predominated. A similar range of cytoplasmic features existed in myoepithelial cells associated with acinar and intercalated duct cells. In addition, some duct basal cells have a complement of actin filaments similar to classic myoepithelium of acini and intercalated ducts. Striated and excretory ducts of human salivary glands, therefore, contain fully differentiated and modified myoepithelial cells, both of which express a specific cytokeratin polypeptide that is absent from duct luminal and acinar cells. Differentiation patterns in the intralobular and interlobular ducts suggest that these regions of salivary gland parenchyma cannot be excluded as histogenetic sites for the induction of salivary gland tumors in which neoplastic myoepithelial cells have been shown to have a major role.

Abstract
The cellular changes in salivary gland parenchyma with chronic inflammation were studied immunocytochemically with a panel of antibodies. Myoepithelial cells were labelled with antimyosin, duct cells with a polyclonal anti-callus prekeratin, a monoclonal anti-keratin CAM 5.2 and a monoclonal anti-keratin 7 (RPN 1162), and a subpopulation of basal duct cells with a monoclonal anti-keratin 16a. The wide range of changes observed were similar to those described following experimental duct ligation. One of the most striking features was the survival of myoepithelial cells surrounding persisting acini and ductal structures. Most of these ductal structures appeared to be either surviving intercalated ducts or were altered acinar cells. There was no evidence of myoepithelial or ductal hyperplasia. The 16a positive basally located duct cells which are conspicuous in normal glands, pleomorphic adenomas and in the epithelial islands in lymphoepithelial lesions (Palmer et al. 1985; 1986) were virtually absent, except in one specimen with mild inflammatory changes. If this cell type represents a reserve cell, then loss of it may preclude recovery of the remaining parenchyma following resolution of inflammation.
