ABSTRACT
At this time, the mechanism causing lacrimal gland dysfunction is not understood completely. In diseases associated with lacrimal gland involvement (Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, IgG4-associated disease, etc.) patients have been observed to experience elevated cellular apoptosis, active production of autoantibodies to glandular tissue, increased level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, functional disruption of signaling molecules leading to changes in tear production. Difficulties in differential diagnosis of lacrimal gland dysfunction in above-listed diseases are associated, on the one hand, with similarity of the clinical picture of ophthalmological manifestations, and on the other hand - with complicated morphological interpretation of changes in the glandular tissues. In this view, miRNA is a promising diagnostic and prognostic marker that would help with differential diagnosis as well as with choosing the treatment tactics. Methods of molecular profiling and identification of "molecular phenotypes" of lacrimal gland and ocular surface damage will allow the use of miRNA as biomarkers and prognostic factors for personalized treatment.
