Objectives: Cevimeline hydrochloride (CH) and pilocarpine hydrochloride (PH) are recognized as salivation-inducers with a high affinity for M3 muscarinic receptors. However, these drugs have a high frequency of side effects, including digestive symptoms and hyperhidrosis. We compared the effectiveness and side effects of these two drugs before and after a medication change.Materials and Methods: Seventy-six patients with Sjögren's syndrome were divided into the following four groups: 1) CH group, CH was administered for 12 months; 2) PH group, PH was administered for 12 months; 3) CH-PH group, CH was administered for 6 months followed by PH for 6 months; 4) PH-CH group, PH was administered for 6 months followed by CH for 6 months. We measured the salivary flow rate and recorded the subjective symptoms in each group.Results: In each group, stimulated whole saliva (SWS) and unstimulated whole saliva (UWS) significantly increased after 3 months and 6 months, respectively, and subjective symptoms improved after 3 months. The incremental changes in both SWS and UWS did not differ significantly between the groups. The CH and PH groups both had digestive symptoms (32.3% and 32.1%, respectively) and hyperhidrosis (29.0% and 39.3%, respectively). We found no significant difference in salivary flow rate or subjective symptoms after the medication change. However, the frequencies of side effects in the CH-PH and PH-CH groups decreased significantly for both digestive symptoms (9.7% and 10.7%, respectively) and hyperhidrosis (25.8% and 14.3%, respectively).Conclusions: After changing the salivation-inducing drug, there was no significant difference in salivary function or subjective symptoms, while the frequency of side effects markedly decreased. These results suggest that changing the salivation-inducing drug effectively reduces side effects.

本研究では、代表的罹患臓器である唾液腺を解析し、特異なT細胞、B細胞、マクロファージ(Mφ)のサブセットが病態形成に関わっていることを明らかにした。しかし、詳細な病態形成の分子機構や病因は判っていない。そこで、本研究では、従前の研究成果を基盤とし、IgG4-RDの病因を解明し、新規治療法開発の基盤を築くことを目指す。第1にサブセット間の相互作用を解析して病態形成機序を明確にし、第2に発症に関わるT細胞とその認識抗原を同定し、第3に特異なMφを遺伝子導入により誘導したマウスを同定した抗原などで刺激することにより病態を再現する疾患モデルマウスを完成させる。
