Ansari N, Salesi M. The association between primary Sjogren's syndrome and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies. Clin Rheumatol 2024; 43:2177-2186. [PMID: 38722505 DOI: 10.1007/s10067-024-06993-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/19/2024]
Abstract
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), a chronic autoimmune condition, has been associated with an increased risk of several cancers. This study aims to delve into the relationship between pSS and the potential development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) utilizing an in-depth systematic review and meta-analysis approach. To thoroughly explore the topic, we conducted a thorough examination of the literature, drawing from reputable databases such as ProQuest, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. Our data collection spanned until February 8, 2024, with no time limitation. Data were analyzed with Stata 14 software at a significance threshold of p < 0.05. We examined 15 cohort studies encompassing a total of 50,308 individuals from 1997 to 2023. The findings revealed a substantial link between pSS and the risk of NHL, evident across all demographics. Specifically, the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was generally 8.78 (95% CI 5.51, 13.99), with similar trends observed in both men (SIR, 6.29; 95% CI 1.93, 20.51) and women (SIR, 9.60; 95% CI 5.89, 15.63). Additionally, the SIR (10.50 (95% CI 7, 15.75)), HR (2.82 (95% CI 1.28, 6.18)), and OR (10.50 (95% CI 3.04, 36.28)) indices further supported this association. Furthermore, the risk of non-NHL associated with pSS was noticeable across different age groups of 40-49 years (SIR, 30.13; 95% CI 14.62, 62.08), 50-59 years (SIR, 9.12; 95% CI 5.13, 16.19), and 60-69 years (SIR, 9; 95% CI 4.68, 17.32). pSS substantively augments the likelihood of NHL manifestation. It notably impacts females and those in earlier stages of adulthood with more acuity than males and older cohorts.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease with the chronic inflammation of glandular tissues, typically salivary and lacrimal glands. Since mammary tissue shares the glandular structure, Sjögren's syndrome may also target mammary tissue to cause breast diseases. We therefore determined whether primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is associated with the increased risk of breast cancer (BC) and breast fibrocystic change (FC). Total 282 female patients with pSS were recruited from a medical center in Taiwan, and patients' medical records were reviewed to identify BC and ultrasonographic breast FC. The prevalence, incidence and risk factors for BC and breast FC in pSS patients were determined, and the risk factors for these breast diseases were subsequently analyzed. Our results showed that pSS patients had the increased prevalence and incidence of BC, and high anti-SSA(Ro) antibody titers were found to be associated with the increased risk of BC. Breast FC was also found highly prevalent in these patients. Comorbidity analysis as risk factor for BC in pSS patients showed diabetes mellitus was strongly associated with the increased risk of BC (odds ratio = 10.4, P = .0006), whereas breast FC was inversely associated with the risk of BC (odds ratio = 0.077 P = .0158). These data indicated that pSS is association with the increased risk of BC and with the high prevalence of ultrasonographic breast FC. Our results also suggest that, in pSS patients, the high anti-SSA(Ro) antibody titers and diabetes mellitus confer the increased risk of BC, whereas the absence of ultrasonographic breast FC predicts the higher risk of BC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While the incidence and type of blood malignancies are well documented amid primary Sjögren's syndrome patients (pSS), data focusing on solid neoplasms are more conflicting. We aimed to describe clinical, pathological, and immunological characteristics of pSS patients with cancers, along with the chronological interplay between the two conditions. METHODS Outcomes concerning both pSS and cancer were retrospectively collected from Montpellier University Hospital (tertiary center) between 2019 and 2020. pSS characteristics were compared to a control group of pSS patients without cancer. RESULTS A total of 165 patients with pSS were included: 55 patients with cancer (52 female, mean age 58.4 ± 10.4 years at pSS diagnosis; mean follow-up 10.5 ± 10.1 years, 12 patients had multiple cancers) and 110 controls without cancer. Characteristics of pSS patients with cancers were different from controls mostly for lymphoma prognosis factors. Among the 70 cancers, we recorded 55 solid neoplasms (whom 27 breast cancers and 8 lung cancers, and 82% of adenocarcinomas), with no evidence of disease at the end of follow-up in 85% of them. Among the 15 recorded blood malignancies, ten were lymphomas with an excellent prognosis. Regarding chronological interplay between cancer and pSS, most cancers (43%) were diagnosed close (± 5 years) to pSS diagnosis. Breast cancers were diagnosed before or close to pSS diagnosis (mean delay - 1.8 ± 13.0 years), at an early stage, with only two relapses (no cancer-related death), while lung cancers were diagnosed late after. CONCLUSIONS The tight chronological interplay between breast cancer and pSS and the intriguing pathological and immunological pattern of pSS in these patients suggest a hypothesis of immune control of cancer.

Abstract
Protein tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21/Ro52), an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is an essential regulator of innate immunity, and its dysregulation is closely associated with the development of autoimmune diseases, predominantly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). TRIM21 /Ro52 also features anti-cancer and carcinogenic functions according to different malignancies. The interconnected role of TRIM21/Ro52 in regulating autoimmunity and cell metabolism in autoimmune diseases and malignancies is implicated. In this review, we summarize current findings on how TRIM21/Ro52 affects inflammation and tumorigenesis, and investigate the relationship between TRIM21/Ro52 expression and the formation of lymphoma and breast cancer in SLE and pSS populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate prevalences of head and neck cancers in patients with and those without Sjögren's syndrome using a population-based dataset. METHODS We retrieved sampled patients from Taiwan's Longitudinal Health Insurance Database. This study included 38 930 patients with Sjögren's syndrome and 155 720 propensity-score matched comparison patients without Sjögren's syndrome. RESULTS Chi-squared tests revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in the prevalences of head and neck cancers between patients with Sjögren's syndrome and comparison patients (1.77% vs. 1.22%, p < 0.001). The odds ratio for head and neck cancers for patients with Sjögren's syndrome relative to the comparison group was 1.452 (95% CI = 1.325-1.592). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrated that patients with Sjögren's syndrome face increased odds of head and neck cancers, encompassing several sites including the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, and thyroid.

[PMID: 37673192 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2023.103444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
IMPORTANCE Laminin-332 is an important component of the basement membrane. Recently, autoantibodies to Laminin-332 have been described in several autoimmune diseases. Many of these autoimmune diseases have a high incidence of malignancy. The importance of Laminin-332 autoantibodies and its relationship to malignancy is highlighted by using Laminin-332 Pemphigoid (LM-332Pg) as a prototype. OBJECTIVE To identify several autoimmune diseases that have autoantibodies to Laminin-332 present, and to determine the prevalence of malignancy in them. Using Laminin-332 Pemphigoid (LM-332Pg) as a prototype, to compare clinical profiles of LM-332Pg patients with and without cancer. By identifying the temporal detection of cancer, can the influence of autoantibodies to Laminin-332 on prognosis be determined. EVIDENCE REVIEW A literature search was conducted to identify autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in which autoantibodies to Laminin-332 were present. Subsequently, the rate of malignancy in these autoimmune diseases was determined. A search for publications on LM-332Pg patients to determine cancer rates and clinical outcomes to examine if a relationship can be proposed, was performed. FINDINGS Autoantibodies to Laminin-332 were detected in recent studies of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis, bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), graft-vs-host disease (GVH), bullous pemphigoid (BP), lichen planus (LP), epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), and membranous glomerulonephropathy (MGN). A high incidence of cancer rate was reported in these autoimmune diseases including primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), systemic sclerosis (SS), dermatomyositis (DM), multiple sclerosis (MS), immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Data analysis demonstrated that LM-332Pg patients had a higher risk of developing ovarian, uterine, lung, gastric cancers and leukemia. The incidence for breast cancer was lower, when compared with global cancer rates. Patients diagnosed with cancer after the presence of LM-332Pg had higher rates of mortality and lower rates of remission, compared to those diagnosed with cancer prior to the discovery/diagnosis of LM-332Pg. When studied, levels of Laminin-332 autoantibodies correlated with the presence or absence of malignancy. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Preliminary analysis suggests that autoantibodies to Laminin-332 are present in multiple autoimmune diseases, which also have a high incidence of malignancy. Detailed analysis of available data highlights that patients who developed LM-332Pg after cancer was diagnosed, had a more favorable prognosis, compared to patients who developed cancer when LM-332Pg was previously present. Preliminary data would suggest that autoantibodies to Laminin-332 could serve as an important biomarker in certain patients, for correlation with possible incidence of malignancy.

Arthritis Res Ther 2023; 25:171. [PMID: 37715206 PMCID: PMC10503000 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-023-03157-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Several observational studies have explored the associations between Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and certain cancers. Nevertheless, the causal relationships remain unclear. Mendelian randomization (MR) method was used to investigate the causality between SS and different types of cancers. METHODS We conducted the two-sample Mendelian randomization with the public genome-wide association studies (GWASs) summary statistics in European population to evaluate the causality between SS and nine types of cancers. The sample size varies from 1080 to 372,373. The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was used to estimate the causal effects. A Bonferroni-corrected threshold of P < 0.0031 was considered significant, and P value between 0.0031 and 0.05 was considered to be suggestive of an association. Sensitivity analysis was performed to validate the causality. Moreover, additional analysis was used to assess the associations between SS and well-accepted risk factors of cancers. RESULTS After correcting the heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy, the results indicated that patients with SS were significantly associated with an increased risk of lymphomas (odds ratio [OR] = 1.0010, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0005-1.0015, P = 0.0002) and reduced risks of prostate cancer (OR = 0.9972, 95% CI: 0.9960-0.9985, P = 2.45 × 10-5) and endometrial cancer (OR = 0.9414, 95% CI: 0.9158-0.9676, P = 1.65 × 10-5). Suggestive associations were found in liver and bile duct cancer (OR = 0.9999, 95% CI: 0.9997-1.0000, P = 0.0291) and cancer of urinary tract (OR = 0.9996, 95% CI: 0.9992-1.0000, P = 0.0281). No causal effect of SS on other cancer types was detected. Additional MR analysis indicated that causal effects between SS and cancers were not mediated by the well-accepted risk factors of cancers. No evidence of the causal relationship was observed for cancers on SS. CONCLUSIONS SS had significant causal relationships with lymphomas, prostate cancer, and endometrial cancer, and suggestive evidence of association was found in liver and bile duct cancer and cancer of urinary tract, indicating that SS may play a vital role in the incidence of these malignancies.

J Proteomics 2023; 287:104977. [PMID: 37482272 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2023.104977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
Primary Sjogren's Syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease, with unclear pathogenies. Lysine-malonylation (Kmal) as a novel post-translational modification (PTMs) was found associated with metabolic, immune, and inflammatory processes. For purpose of investigating the proteomic profile and functions of kmal in pSS, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based analysis and bioinformatics analysis are performed based on twenty-eight pSS patients versus twenty-seven healthy controls (HCs). A total of 331 down-regulated proteins and 289 up-regulated proteins are observed in differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of pSS. We discover the expression of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFB1) and CD40 ligand downregulate which enriches in the inflammatory associated pathway. Expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1-alpha/beta (STAT1) show upregulation and enrich in type I interferon signaling pathway and IL-27-mediated signaling pathway. In differentially malonylated proteins (DMPs) of pSS, we identify 3 proteins are down-regulated in 7 sites and 18 proteins are up-regulated in 19 sites. Expression of malonylated integrin-linked kinase (ILK) significantly enrich in the focal adhesion pathway. Together, our data provide evidence that downregulation of TGFB1 and CD40LG play a critical role in the inflammatory process of pSS, while upregulation of STAT1 may be associated with IL-27 immunity and pSS immune dysfunction. Moreover, kmal modification at the kinase domain of ILK may destabilize ILK that thus contributing to pSS pathogenies by regulating the focal adhesion pathway. SIGNIFICANCE: Our research offered the first characterization of Kmal, a newly identified form of lysine acylation in pSS, as well as proteomic data on individuals with pSS. In this study, we found that several key DMPs were associated with focal adhesion pathway, which contributes to the development of pSS. The present results provide an informative dataset for the future exploration of Kmal in pSS.

Abstract
There is an increased risk of malignancies in patients with many systemic rheumatic diseases, which negatively impact on their quality of life. The risk and types of malignancies can differ by the type of rheumatic diseases. Possible mechanisms linking them are dynamic and complicated, including chronic inflammation and damage in rheumatic disease, inability to clear oncogenic infections, shared etiology and some anti-rheumatic therapies. Although certain disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have been proved to be potentially carcinogenic, the majority of them were not associated with increased risk of most malignancies in patients with systemic rheumatic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease with increased risk of infections. Here, we assessed whether pSS patients were at higher risk of hospitalization for community and opportunistic infections. METHODS We selected newly hospitalized pSS patients between 2011 and 2018, through a nationwide population-based retrospective study using the French Health insurance database. We compared the incidence of hospitalization for several types of infections (according to International Classification for Disease codes, ICD-10) between pSS patients and an age- and sex-matched (1:10) hospitalized control group. We calculated adjusted Hazard Ratios (aHR, 95% CI) adjusted on socio-economic status, past cardiovascular or lung diseases and blood malignancies factors. RESULTS We compared 25 661 pSS patients with 252 543 matched patients. The incidence of hospitalizations for a first community infection was increased in pSS patients [aHR of 1.29 (1.22-1.31), p < .001]. The incidence of hospitalization for bronchopulmonary infections was increased in pSS patients [aHR of 1.50 (1.34-1.69), p < .001, for pneumonia]. Hospitalizations for pyelonephritis and intestinal infections were increased [aHR of 1.55 (1.29-1.87), p < .001 and 1.18 (1.08-1.29), p < .001, respectively]. Among opportunistic infections, only zoster, and mycobacteria infections (tuberculosis and non-tuberculous) were at increased risk of hospitalization [aHR of 3.32 (1.78-6.18), p < .001; 4.35 (1.41-13.5), p = .011 and 2.54 (1.27-5.06), p = .008, respectively]. CONCLUSIONS pSS patients are at higher risk of hospitalization for infections. The increased risk of hospitalization for mycobacterial infections illustrates the potential bilateral relationship between the two conditions. Vaccination against respiratory pathogens and herpes zoster virus may help prevent some hospitalizations in pSS patients.KEY MESSAGESPrimary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) increases hospitalization risk for community infections: bronchopulmonary, skin, dental, ear-nose-throat, intestinal infections and pyelonephritis.Hospitalizations for zoster and mycobacterial infections are also increased in this population.Dedicated preventive measures and vaccination campaigns could decrease the burden of infections in pSS patients.

Grange L, Chalayer E, Boutboul D, Paul S, Galicier L, Gramont B, Killian M. TAFRO syndrome: A severe manifestation of Sjogren's syndrome? A systematic review. Autoimmun Rev 2022; 21:103137. [PMID: 35803499 DOI: 10.1016/j.autrev.2022.103137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands associated with sicca syndrome. TAFRO syndrome is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause, characterized by Thrombocytopenia, Anasarca, Fever, Reticulin fibrosis, Renal dysfunction and Organomegaly, first reported in 2010 in Japanese patients. Despite their rarity, both conditions have been concurrently reported in several patients during the recent years, hence questioning the existence of shared or related features. METHODS A systematic review of the literature regarding SjS associated with TAFRO syndrome (SjS-TAFRO) was performed. The 2019 updated Masaki diagnostic criteria were used for TAFRO syndrome and SjS was considered when the diagnosis was mentioned by the authors, necessarily with either anti-Sjogren's Syndrome A (SSA) ± anti-Sjogren's Syndrome B (SSB) antibodies and/or histological evidence of focal lymphocytic sialadenitis. RESULTS Ten cases of SjS-TAFRO have been reported in the literature to date. Compared to SjS patients without TAFRO syndrome, these 10 SjS-TAFRO had a lower female predominance (2.3:1 vs 9:1 women to man ratio) and a higher frequency of anti-SSA antibodies (90% vs 70%). All fulfilled the three major Masaki criteria i.e., anasarca, thrombocytopenia, and systemic inflammation. Seven of them (70%) had megakaryocyte hyperplasia or reticulin fibrosis in the bone marrow. Lymph node biopsy was performed in 8 out of 10 cases (80%) and results were consistent with Castleman disease in 6 (75%). Eight of them had developed renal failure (80%) within six months. Nine of them (90%) had organomegaly, with hepatosplenomegaly in 8 cases and splenomegaly alone in 1. CONCLUSION This review brings new insights regarding TAFRO syndrome and suggests it could be a severe manifestation of SjS. The identification of shared abnormal signaling pathways could help in the therapeutic management of both diseases, which face an unmet therapeutic need.

Abstract
Background Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and breast cancer are a highly prevalent autoimmune disease and malignancy, respectively, both occurring predominantly in females. Whether there is a link between these two diseases is uncertain. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the risk, incidence, and mortality of breast cancer in patients with pSS. Methods We systematically searched Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science on January 31, 2022 to identify the study that assessed risk, incidence, or mortality of breast cancer in pSS. The fixed or random-effects models were applied to pool the effect estimates based on heterogeneity measured by Cochran's Q-test and Higgins' I2. Results Ten studies involving 725,805 participants and 64,836 pSS patients were included in our analysis. The pooled result showed that, overall, pSS was not associated with the risk (SIR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.66-1.29, P=0.646) and mortality (HR = 0.78, 95%CI: 0.26-2.34, P = 0.664) of breast cancer; however, when stratified by geographic region, we found that patients with pSS in Asian countries (SIR=1.32, 95%CI: 1.10-1.58, P=0.003) and Argentina (SIR=3.76, 95%CI: 1.04-9.45, P=0.019) had an elevated risk of breast cancer, while pSS in Europe was associated with a reduced risk (SIR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.51-0.73, P<0.001). The pooled result from 28,635 female pSS patients indicated that the incidence of breast cancer was 2.15 (95% CI: 1.33-3.50) per 1000 person/years. Conclusion This study suggests that there may be geographical differences in the association between pSS and breast cancer risk; patients with pSS in European countries are associated with a lower risk of breast cancer, while Asia and Argentina are the opposite. Future research is needed to further characterize the effect of pSS on breast cancer risk and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association to unravel the complex relationship between the two.

Abstract
The extent, range, and nature of available research in the field of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) have not been understood fully. This study aimed to map the literature available on pSS, and identify global hotspots and trends in the research. Papers on pSS published between 2004 and 2021 were searched from Web of Science Core Collection. The quantity and citations of publications, and the research hotspots and trends in the field of pSS were analyzed and presented visually by Microsoft Excel and Citespace software. A total of 3606 papers mainly from 526 institutions in 83 countries/regions were included for analysis. The number of publications presented an overall upward trend in the field of pSS from 2004 to 2021. The USA ranked first in the number of publications (n = 661), followed by China (n = 491), Italy (n = 405), France (n = 351), and Japan (n = 292). Moreover, seven of the top ten countries by the number of publications on pSS were from Europe. The University of Groningen (n = 661), Xavier Mariette (n = 95), and Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology (n = 184) were the most prolific affiliation, author, and journal, respectively. Vitali C (n = 2009) and Arthritis and Rheumatism (n = 3918) held the record for the most cited papers by an author and journal, respectively. At present, the hot keywords in the field of pSS include disease activity, ultrasonography, management, consensus, and data-driven. Lymphoid organization, clinical phenotypes outcome, salivary gland ultrasonography, and Toll-like receptor are the emerging research trends in pSS. Research on pSS is flourishing. Current research of pSS mainly focuses on disease activity, ultrasonography, and management. While, the emerging research trends in pSS are lymphoid organization, clinical phenotypes outcome, salivary gland ultrasonography, and Toll-like receptor.

Abstract
Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) can be associated with neurological and cognitive involvement, negatively affecting patients’ quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess whether pSS patients are at higher risk of hospitalization for neurological diseases. Through a nationwide retrospective study using the French Health insurance database (based on International Classification for Disease codes, ICD-10), we selected patients hospitalized with new-onset pSS between 2011 and 2018. We compared the incidence of hospitalization for dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS), encephalitis, and peripheral neuropathy with an age- and sex-matched (1:10) hospitalized control group. Adjusted Hazard Ratios (aHR) considered confounding factors, particularly socio-economic status and cardiovascular diseases. We analyzed 25,661 patients hospitalized for pSS, compared with 252,543 matched patients. The incidence of hospitalization for dementia was significantly higher in pSS patients (aHR = 1.27 (1.04−1.55); p = 0.018), as well as the incidence of hospitalization for MS, encephalitis, and inflammatory polyneuropathies (aHR = 3.66 (2.35−5.68), p < 0.001; aHR = 2.66 (1.22−5.80), p = 0.014; and aHR = 23.2 (12.2−44.5), p < 0.001, respectively). According to ICD-10 codes, pSS patients exhibited a higher incidence of hospitalization for dementia, encephalitis, MS, and peripheral neuropathies than controls. Physicians must be aware of these neurological risks to choose the most appropriate diagnostic work-up.
