Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibitory effects of muscarinic receptor autoantibodies on parasympathetic neurotransmission in Sjögren's syndrome
TL;DR: Autoantibodies that act as antagonists at M3-muscarinic receptors on smooth muscle occur in a subset of patients with primary and secondary SS, and appear to contribute to sicca symptoms and may explain associated features of autonomic dysfunction in some patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody-mediated gastrointestinal dysmotility in scleroderma
TL;DR: Functional antibodies specifically inhibiting M3-muscarinic receptor-mediated enteric cholinergic neurotransmission may provide a pathogenic mechanism for the gastrointestinal dysfunction seen in patients with scleroderma.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of enteric inhibitory motoneurons in peristalsis in the isolated guinea-pig small intestine.
Sally A. Waterman,Marcello Costa +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that enteric inhibitory motoneurons are crucial for peristalsis to occur, important in setting the threshold at which peristaltic emptying is triggered, via nitric oxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Up-regulation of M3-Muscarinic Receptors in Labial Salivary Gland Acini in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome
Dimitra Beroukas,Rhian Mair Goodfellow,Jenny Hiscock,Roland Jonsson,Tom P. Gordon,Sally A. Waterman +5 more
TL;DR: The up-regulation, rather than down- regulation, of M3R in acini of pSS LSG can explain the effectiveness of muscarinic agonists in treating sicca symptoms in pSS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subcellular distribution of aquaporin 5 in salivary glands in primary Sjögren's syndrome
TL;DR: The results suggest that the distribution and density of aquaporin 5 in salivary glands does not differ between patients with PSS and those without, and the role of aqu Vapor 5 in the pathogenesis of PSS needs to be reassessed and alternative pathogenetic mechanisms investigated.
