    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Investigating animal models for Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS), also known as dry eye, reveals potential viral causes. Further research into lacrimal glands and drug-induced KCS is recommended for better treatment strategies.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (KCS) in humans is linked to systemic diseases with unclear pathogenesis.
    • Spontaneous animal models offer insights into KCS and related autoimmune conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore spontaneous animal models for understanding KCS pathogenesis.
    • To investigate potential viral etiologies in KCS development.
    • To discuss the role of lacrimal glands and drug-induced KCS.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of spontaneous animal models for Sjögren's syndrome (NZB and NZB-NZW mice).
    • Identification of analogous models for lupus erythematosus (dogs) and polyarteritis (mink).
    • Examination of ocular and lacrimal gland tissues in affected animals and dogs with distemper.

    Main Results:

    • Spontaneous animal models mimicking human systemic diseases associated with KCS have been identified.
    • Viral etiology is implicated across these diverse animal models.
    • The functions of main and accessory lacrimal glands in normal and KCS conditions were analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Animal models are crucial for elucidating the pathogenesis of KCS and associated systemic diseases.
    • Further investigation into viral roles and lacrimal gland function in KCS is warranted.
    • Drug-induced KCS presents opportunities for further research and therapeutic development.
