OBJECTIVES: To identify therapeutic candidates for IgG4-related sialadenitis, a manifestation of IgG4-related disease characterized by IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration and limited treatment options beyond glucocorticoids, using transcriptomic profiling and in silico drug repurposing.

METHODS: Submandibular gland tissues from 49 patients with IgG4-related sialadenitis and 3 controls were analyzed by RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed genes were screened against DrugBank to identify druggable targets. Candidate drugs were prioritized based on their ability to modulate disease-associated gene signatures. Molecular docking was performed to evaluate binding affinities to key targets.

RESULTS: Transcriptomic analysis revealed upregulation of immune-related pathways. DrugBank integration identified fostamatinib as a top candidate targeting multiple kinases, including SYK, BTK, and JAK3. Docking analysis demonstrated favorable binding affinity, particularly to BTK.

CONCLUSION: This integrative approach highlights fostamatinib as a promising therapeutic candidate and supports a role for the SYK-BTK axis in IgG4-RD pathogenesis, suggesting a potential alternative to glucocorticoids.
