Tear miRNAs Identified in a Murine Model of Sjögren’s Syndrome as Potential Diagnostic Biomarkers and Indicators of Disease Mechanism
4 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Objective: The tear miRNAome of the male NOD mouse, a model of ocular symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome (SS), was analyzed to identify unique miRNAs. Methods: Male NOD mice, aged 12-14 weeks, were used to identify tear miRNAs associated with development of autoimmune dacryoadenitis. Age- and sex-matched male BALB/c mice served as healthy controls while age-matched female NOD mice that do not develop the autoimmune...
