* To whom correspondence should be addressed. Objectives. To identify the most significant salivary biomarkers in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) using proteomic methods. Methods. Parotid saliva from 20 non-SS subjects and 41 primary SS patients was analysed. Protein expression profiles for each sample were generated by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS). Mean peak intensities of SS patients and non-SS subjects were compared by univariate analyses. Samples pooled by diagnosis (SS and non-SS) and labelled with different Cy dyes were compared by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). Two protein levels that were most significantly different by SELDI-TOF-MS and 2D-DIGE were validated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in individual samples. Results. SELDI-TOF-MS of 10-200 kDa peaks revealed eight peaks with >2-fold changes in the SS group that differed from non-SS at P<0.005. Peaks of 11.8, 12.0, 14.3, 80.6 and 83.7 kDa were increased, while 17.3, 25.4, and 35.4 kDa peaks were decreased in SS samples. 2D-DIGE identified significant increases of Conclusions. The salivary proteomic profile of SS is a mixture of increased inflammatory proteins and decreased acinar proteins when compared with non-SS. Future studies will test the ability of these biomarker levels, alone and in combination, to diagnose the salivary component of SS.

Abstract 
-2-microglobulin, lactoferrin, immunoglobulin (Ig) 
light chain, polymeric Ig receptor, lysozyme C and cystatin C in all stages of SS. Two presumed proline-rich proteins, amylase and carbonic anhydrase VI, were reduced in the patient group. Three of these ten biomarkers have not been associated previously with SS.
