Cathepsin S activation contributes to elevated CX3CL1 (fractalkine) levels in tears of a Sjögren’s syndrome murine model

Autoimmune dacryoadenitis and altered lacrimal gland (LG) secretion are features of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Activity of cathepsin S (CTSS), a cysteine protease, is significantly and specifically increased in SS patient tears. The soluble chemokine, CX3CL1 (fractalkine), is cleaved from membrane-bou...
