7 Ocular Involvement

nerves. Afferent signals from the ocular surface are transmitted via the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve to the central nervous system where they synapse with autonomic efferent nerves. In response to afferent stimulation, neurotransmitters are released by the efferent nerves innervating the secretory tissues [10, 40]. In addition to stimulating tear secretion, VIP released by efferent parasympathetic nerves can inhibit proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine production and enhance secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-b and IL-10 [41].

7.8Mechanisms of Dysfunction

SS causes a profound reduction in tear production by components of the LFU, particularly the lacrimal glands and ocular surface epithelium. This results in an unstable tear film of altered composition that inadequately supports the ocular surface and causes symptoms of eye irritation and blurred vision.

7.8.1Lacrimal Gland

Secretory dysfunction of the lacrimal gland in SS is identified clinically by symptoms of ocular irritation such as dryness and a foreign body sensation that typically worsen with prolonged visual effort or exposure to dry or drafty environments. Patients may complain of inability to produce tears reflexively in response to cold, wind, or emotional stimuli. Lacrimal gland secretory dysfunction in SS occurs by a variety of mechanisms, some reversible, others permanent.

Circulating acetylcholine M3R autoantibodies can inhibit tear secretion by competitively binding to acetylcholine receptors on lacrimal acinar cells [42]. Chronic aqueous tear deficiency may also cause degeneration of the corneal nociceptors, resulting in reduced sensory stimulation of lacrimal secretion [43, 44].

Inflammation can also promote dysfunction or death of lacrimal gland secretory epithelia. Inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1 have been reported to inhibit cholinergicinduced secretion of lacrimal acinar cells [45]. TNF-a and the T-helper 1 (Th1) cytokine IFN-gamma can promote apoptosis of lacrimal acinar cells [46–48].Progressive lymphocytic infiltration may eventually replace most or all of the lacrimal acini.

7.8.2Ocular Surface

Ocular surface disease in SS results from reduced secretion and altered composition of tears. With loss of the ability to produce tears reflexively, the LFU can no longer respond adequately to stressful environmental conditions on the ocular surface. Tear composition changes in SS include increased osmolarity, decreased concentration of lacrimal secreted factors (lactoferrin and EGF), and increased concentrations of inflammatory mediators [49]. In addition, inflammation on the ocular surface in SS
