ABSTRACT: The C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mouse is a model for primary Sjögren’s syndrome and was constructed by introducing two genetic intervals derived from the NOD mouse that confers Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS)-like disease in SjS-non-susceptible C57BL/6 mice. To define the chronological interrelationships of biological themes associated with progression from pre- to sub-clinical to overt spontaneous experimental SjS-like disease involving the extracellular milieu (EM) of the salivary glands, we carried out a study utilizing microarray technology in which the parental C57BL/6J mouse was used as the healthy control strain. A bioinformatics-based data analysis methodology designed for comprehensive visualization of global datasets between C57BL/6J and C57BL/6.NOD-Aec1Aec2 mice has permitted a definition of the molecular changes that correlate with onset of stomatitis sicca (xerostomia) in the SjS-susceptible mice. The transcriptome data set of C57BL/6J permitted identification of normal physiological activity.
