More degeneration was graphically related with larger changes from Compression to Traction (more superior and, anterior position of the T -weighted centroid, increased height, reduced extension of segmental angle) and from Unloaded to Compression larger changes in inferior displacement of the T weighted centroid, decrease in height) but less anterior displacement of the centroid and less change in segmental angles. The largest loading responses were at lower levels, generally with more degeneration. T -weighted centroid locations, angle and disc height detected the largest loading response. The largest loading responses were at lower levels, generally with more degeneration. T2-weighted centroid locations, angle and disc height detected the largest loading response.Myd88 activation is an important driver of autoimmunity. Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by exocrine gland dysfunction in combination with serious systemic disease manifestations. Myd88-dependent signaling networks remain incompletely understood in the context of pSS. The objective of this study was to establish the contribution of tissue-specific Myd88 activation to local (exocrine) and systemic pSS manifestations. To this end, we generated two novel conditional knockout pSS mouse models; one lacking Myd88 in hematopoietic cells and a second strain in which Myd88 was deleted in the stromal compartment. Spontaneous production of inflammatory mediators was altered in salivary tissue, and nephritis was diminished in both conditional knockout strains. In contrast, pulmonary inflammation was increased in mice lacking Myd88 in hematopoietic cells and was reduced when Myd88 was ablated in stromal cells. Finally, anti-nuclear autoantibodies (ANAs) were attenuated in pSS mice lacking Myd88 in immune cells. Additionally
