Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates in the salivary and lachrymal glands resulting in oral and ocular dryness. There are no clinically approved therapies to slow the progression of SS. Immune cells possess receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA (GABA-Rs) and their activation has immunoregulatory actions. We tested whether GABA administration has potential for amelioration of SS in NOD.B10-H2b and C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice, two spontaneous SS models. Oral GABA treatment was initiated (1) after the development of sialadenitis but before the onset of overt symptoms, or (2) after the appearance of overt symptoms. When assessed weeks later, GABA-treated mice had greater saliva and tear production, as well as quicker times to salvia flow, in both SS mouse models. This was especially evident when GABA treatment was initiated after the onset of overt disease. This preservation of exocrine function was not accompanied by significant changes in the number or area of lymphocytic foci in the salivary or lachrymal glands of GABA-treated mice and we discuss the possible reasons for these observations. Given that GABA-treatment preserved saliva and tear production which are the most salient symptoms of SS and is safe for consumption, it may provide a new approach to help ameliorate SS.
