Summary Antibodies against murine submandibular and sublingual mucins have been raised in rabbits. Both antisera appeared to be specific. Using these antibodies, the mucins were localized in the acinar cells of the submandibular and sublingual glands respectively.The dyed amylopectin method was used to estimate the activity of amylase in the salivary glands. The enzyme was localized either by a starch-substrate film method or with antibodies against purified parotid amylase. The activity of amylase in parotid homogenates is about 1000-fold higher than that in homogenates of either submandibular or sublingual glands, in which the activity was comparable. Amylase was localized in the acinar cells of the parotid gland with both localization techniques. In the sublingual gland, amylase was found predominantly in the stroma around the acini, and there was some evidence that amylase was present in the demilune cells as well. In the submandibular gland, contradictory results were obtained with both techniques. With the starch-substrate film method, amylase activity was found in the granular convoluted tubular cells, whereas immuno-reactive amylase could only be demonstrated in the acinar cells of this gland. It is concluded that in the submandibular gland amylase and mucin are present in the same cell type. 相似文献

Summary In this study, antiserum to acinar cell-specific mucin was utilized to determine whether mucin could be detected in the mouse submandibular gland prior to cytodifferentiation of acinar cells. Results from radioimmunoassay indicated that mucin occurs in submandibular glands from newborn mice, i.e., before the appearance of mature acinar cells. Additionally, mucin quantitated in various stages of development was found to be antigenically identical to adult mucin. After sections of glands were treated with immunohistochemical reagents, we observed that the mature acinar cell-specific mucin was present in secretory terminal-tubule cells and in proacinar cells of newborn animals. The present findings suggest that in young animals, the proacinar cells are an immediate precursor of acinar cells and that the secretory terminal-tubule cells may represent an earlier stage in development of acinar cells. In adult female glands, mucin was also detected in the granular intercalating-duct cells. This latter observation is consistent with the hypothesis that these cells are an intermediate in the acinar cell replacement process. 相似文献

The appearance of an acinar-cell-specific mucin was studied during fetal mouse submandibular gland development. The mucin was first detected in stage 23 and was quantitated through birth by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Quantitation results showed that the mucin accumulation was biphasic. Results from Western blotting and radioimmunoassay indicated that the mucin from the prenatal glands was similar both antigenically and in size to the mucin isolated from adult mice. Observations from light microscopy revealed a continuing progression of complexity throughout prenatal development, indicative of morphogenesis characteristic of differentiating exocrine tissues. When sections from various stages were compared morphometrically, it became clear that the overall ratio of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells increased nearly 6-fold throughout the prenatal stages observed. The study suggests that acinar cell development in the mouse submandibular gland passes through a protodifferentiated stage. The proportions of epithelial and mesenchymal cells in the submandibular gland and the sensitivity of the RIA indicate that the mucin per cell actually increased to detectable levels at the onset of protodifferentiation, and this increase does not reflect a change in the relative proportions of epithelial and mesenchymal cells. 相似文献

Ultrastructural localization of glucose-6-phosphatase activity was studied in the cells of the pancreas and submandibular gland of the mouse using a incubation medium modified from that of Wachstein & Meisel (1956). In pancreatic acinar cells, the reaction product for the enzyme activity was not found even after 90 min of incubation with three changes of the medium. However, the reaction product was localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope of all other cell types composing the pancreas and submandibular gland. The reaction product appeared in moderate to abundant amounts in acinar cells and striated duct cells of the submandibular gland, and in the B cells, A and D cells of the pancreatic islet, but it was scarce in other cell types. 相似文献

Expression and distribution of osteopontin and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and -7 in mouse salivary glands 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We investigated the expression and distribution of osteopontin in mouse salivary glands. Western blot analysis showed intense positive bands at the predicted molecular mass (about 60 kDa) in mouse parotid and sublingual glands. However, a cross-reacted band around 30 kDa was strongly detected in submandibular glands. Indirect immunofluorescent analysis showed that osteopontin was localized at the luminal (apical) membranes of the acinar cells in parotid and sublingual glands. However, it was not detected in acinar cells of submandibular glands. No expression was found in ductal cells of any glands. We also examined the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and -7. In parotid gland, MMP-3 was observed at 57 kDa, indicating a latent form, but MMP-7 was not detected. In contrast, MMP-7 definitely was observed at 28 kDa area in submandibular gland, whereas MMP-3 was not detected. These results suggest that osteopontin localizes at luminal sites of acinar cells and may be associated with saliva secretion in mouse salivary gland. It is also suggested that osteopontin may be cleaved by MMP-7 in mouse submandibular gland. 相似文献

Light-microscopy showed parotid serous acinar cells to contain neutral mucin, serous and mucous acinar cells of submandibular gland and intercalary ductal cells of both glands to contain acid and neutral mucins, and cells of striated ducts and excretory ducts to contain neutral mucin. Mucins were demonstrated ultrastructurally in a portion of the components of secretory granules of acinar cells and intercalary ductal cells, and in secretory granules of striated and excretory ductal cells. The mucins were all stained by techniques that reveal 1,2-glycols. Secretory granules of submandibular mucous and serous acinar cells and intercalary ductal cells were stained variably by the low iron-diamine technique for acid mucin, and those of mucous acinar cells by the high iron-diamine technique for sulphomucins mucin and possibly consisted of protein. The results suggest that one type of cell may be able to produce a range of secretory products and to package them variously into secretory granules. 相似文献

Summary Light-microscopic autoradiography was used to localize the cellular sites for neutral amino acid uptake in submandibular and sublingual salivary gland epithelia. The vasculature of isolated glands was perfused for 3–5 min with either L-(3-3H)serine or L-(4-3H)phenylalanine and then fixed by perfusion with buffered glutaraldehyde. In the submandibular gland the small neutral amino acid L-serine and the aromatic amino acid L-phenylalanine were localized to central acinar cells, demilunar cells and ductal cells. In the sublingual gland silver grains associated with each of these tritiated amino acids were localized to central acinar and ductal cells. Perfusion of both submandibular and sublingual glands with unlabelled L-serine (25 mM) or L-phenylalanine (30 mM) resulted in a significant decrease in the silver grain density associated with each labelled amino acid. The absence of silver grains in the lumina of acinar and ductal cells and the presence of tight junctions near the apical surface of the epithelium strongly suggest that the initial uptake of these amino acids was mediated by basolateral plasma membrane carriers. 相似文献

The seromucous acinar cells of the adult rat submandibular gland secrete a characteristic mucin glycoprotein and a family of unusual glutamine/glutamic acid-rich proteins (GRP). Monoclonal antibodies to the mucin and GRP localized in a very few Type III cells in glands of newborn and 1 day-old rats, using light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. Both mucin and GRP reactivities were present in the polymorphic Type IIIP granules during the 1st postnatal week. By 9 days after birth, the granules contained both mucin and GRP and were mucous-like in appearance. At earlier stages, however, cells containing only GRP or mucin could be found, indicating that the initiation of GRP and mucin biosynthesis may not be coordinately regulated. No reactivity was seen in the neonatal Type I cells or in duct cells at any age. Northern and Western blot analysis showed GRP mRNA and protein levels to be barely detectable at birth, with marked increases during the first 2 postnatal weeks. In contrast, Western blots of B1-immunoreactive proteins (B1-IP) showed levels highest in the 1st week and markedly decreased in the adult. Immunocytochemical colocalization, using gold particles of different sizes, showed that the B1-IP, mucin, and GRP colocalized in the granules. These results strengthen the hypothesis that the adult acinar cells develop from the neonatal Type III cells. No evidence was obtained for the involvement of Type I cells in the pathway of acinar cell development. 相似文献

The presence of endogenous peroxidase activity in the hamster submandibular gland was investigated cytochemically by light and electron microscopy using diaminobenzidine methods. After fixation of tissue with 2% paraformaldehyde--2.5% glutaraldehyde and incubation in a DAB reaction medium containing 0.01% H2O2, the peroxidase reaction product was localized in the nuclear envelope, the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, secretory granules and the Golgi apparatus in both the acinar and granular duct cells of the submandibular gland. This is in contrast to earlier investigators who failed to detect peroxidase activity in acinar cells of the hamster submandibular gland and reported that peroxidase is localized only in the granular duct cells. The discrepancy may be caused by differences in experimental procedures. It is suggested that fixation of tissue with a high concentration of glutaral dehyde and incubation in a DAB reaction medium containing a high concentration of H2O2 inhibits the peroxidase activity of acinar cells in the hamster submandibular gland 相似文献

Rat submandibular gland can regenerate following ligation-induced atrophy, eventually recovering its normal morphology and function. Previous studies have suggested that the regeneration process implies both self-proliferation of existing acini and formation of new acinar cells. One hypothesis is that new acinar cells may differentiate from the ductal cells in a similar fashion to the process of cytodifferentiation occurring during submandibular glandular development. In this study atrophy was induced, under recovery anaesthesia, by applying a metal clip on the main duct of the submandibular gland without including the chorda lingual nerve. After 2 weeks the duct was deligated for 3, 5 or 7 days or 8 weeks and the glands collected. Tissue was prepared for immunohistochemstry, biochemical analysis and RNA extraction. The histology of the regenerated glands shows several normal-looking acini, which have regained their glycoprotein content (AB/PAS positive), data also confirmed by biochemical analysis (SDS-PAGE/PAS). Regenerating tissue was characterized by the presence of embryonic-like branched structures ending with AB/PAS positive acinar cells. The proteins SMG-B and PSP are normally expressed in acinar cell precursors during development but only by intercalated ductal cells in the adult stage. In the adult regenerating gland mRNA levels of both SMG-B and PSP were found to be up-regulated compared to ligated glands and SMG-B expression localized to acinar cells whilst the ductal cells were negative. This study of rat submandibular gland regeneration suggests new acinar cells have differentiated from ducts and express markers of acinar cell precursors in a similar manner to the cytodifferentiation process occurring during glandular development. 相似文献

We studied the subcellular localization of two major secretory products of adult rat submandibular gland (RSMG), blood group A-reactive mucin glycoprotein and glutamine/glutamic acid-rich protein (GRP), by light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry. The structure of the major neutral oligosaccharide of the mucin was shown to be: GalNAc alpha 1,3(Fuc alpha 1,2)Gal beta 1,3GalNAc. A mouse monoclonal antibody (1F9) with specificity for blood group A determinants was prepared against the mucin. The antibody recognized a single band of approximately 114 KD on Western blots of RSMG extract. A previously characterized monoclonal antibody (59) against GRP (Mirels et al.: J Biol Chem 262: 7289, 1987) reacted with a doublet of 45-50 KD on Western blots of extraparotid saliva. Immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase staining of cryostat sections of RSMG with anti-mucin antibodies and anti-GRP antibodies revealed reactivity in acinar cells of the gland. No specific labeling was seen in duct cells of RSMG or in mucous acinar cells of the adjacent sublingual gland. Post-embedding immunogold labeling of thin sections of glutaraldehyde-fixed RSMG with anti-mucin showed strong labeling of the Golgi apparatus and secretory granules of acinar cells. Gold particles were seen mainly over electron-lucent areas of the granules. No labeling occurred over the endoplasmic reticulum. The labeling pattern with the anti-GRP antibodies was similar, except that both electron-dense and -lucent areas of the granules were labeled, and the endoplasmic reticulum was reactive. Double labeling with two different sizes of gold particles showed that both mucin and GRP co-localized in the same granules. Pre-absorption of the antibodies with their respective antigens eliminated immunolabeling of the acinar cells. These antibodies will be useful in studies of cell differentiation in RSMG and of synthesis, processing, and packaging of RSMG secretory products. 相似文献

Hybridomas were produced by the fusion of NS1 myeloma cells with spleen cells of a BALB/c mouse immunized with rat submandibular saliva. Growth of hybridomas was evident in 60/96 wells, and colonies secreting antibodies against saliva components were identified in 20 wells by using a solid phase enzyme-linked immunoassay. Cloning of cells from 12 wells yielded originally 43 hybridoma cell lines secreting anti-saliva antibodies. After recloning, one hybridoma (4Cl3) was selected for further studies. The hybridoma (4Cl3) cells were grown as ascites tumors, and the antibodies were purified from the ascitic fluid by diethylaminoethyl Affi-gel Blue chromatography. The purified antibody (MA4), immunoglobulin G1, immunoprecipitated a 39K dalton protein from submandibular saliva, and also reacted with a protein of the same electrophoretic mobility on immunoblots. From extracts of submandibular gland slices, incubated with [3H]leucine, the antibody again immunoprecipitated a 39K protein, indicating that this protein is synthesized in the gland. MA4 was used for immunocytochemical stainings of submandibular glands of rats of different ages. In general, immunostaining was seen only in acinar cells. Thus, there was no staining in the glands of 1-day-old rats that lack differentiated acinar cells. In the glands of 1- to 4-week-old rats the number of immunoreactive cells and the extent of immunostaining paralleled the differentiation of the acinar cells. In the glands of adult rats a uniform staining of the secretory granules of the acinar cells was observed. The immunoreactive 39K protein seemed to be restricted to the acinar cells in the submandibular gland; there was no immunostaining in the parotid, sublingual, or lingual salivary glands, or in the pancreas, colon, and duodenum. Stimulation of saliva secretion by isoproterenol resulted in a virtual depletion of the antigen from the acinar cells. These results indicate the feasibility of producing mouse hybridomas that secrete antibodies against rat saliva components. The monoclonal antibody at hand will be useful in analyzing the differentiation of the acinar cells, and the factors that influence this differentiation process. 相似文献

Renal subcapsular syngrafts of Day 9 to 11 mouse embryonic pituitary epithelium with Day 14 mouse embryonic submandibular gland mesenchyme produced mixed organs that include residual cleft structure surrounded by anterior pituitary cells some which are stained by anti-ACTH antiserum and submandibular gland-like structure with differentiated acinar cells which are stained by anti-alpha-amylase antiserum. However, when Day 8.5 or 12 embryonic pituitary epithelium was recombined with submandibular gland mesenchyme and syngrafted, development of submandibular gland-like or anterior pituitary tissues resulted, respectively. Thus, during organogenesis of the mouse anterior pituitary, there exists a developmental stage (Day 8.5-11 in utero), when prospective pituitary epithelium can respond to heterotypic submandibular gland mesenchyme with the development of a submandibular gland-like tissue. 相似文献

Secreted carbonic anhydrase (isozyme VI; CA VI) was localized by immunohistochemistry in the developing postnatal rat submandibular
and parotid glands using a specific monoclonal antibody to the rat enzyme. CA VI immunostaining was not detectable in the
glands before birth. In the submandibular gland, granular immunostaining for CA VI was detectable in several terminal tubule
cells of 1-day-old rats. At 1 week, the CA VI-positive cells were located at the periphery of the terminal tubules and appeared
to be budding off the tubules. These cellular buds gradually increased, and, by 4 weeks, formed acini. CA VI was also detected
in the duct lumen from day 1. The immunostaining in the parotid gland was detected sporadically in the acinar cells at 2 or
3 weeks. By 4 weeks, when the gland was almost indistinguishable from the adult one, the number of positive acinar cells had
increased. Their number, however, was far smaller than in the adult gland, and the enzyme could not be detected in the duct
lumen. CA II was also localized using specific antibodies to the rat isozyme. CA II was detectable in the inter- and intralobular
striated ducts at 2 weeks after birth in the submandibular gland and at 3 weeks in the parotid gland. These results suggset
that CA VI is secreted into saliva from soon after birth and that CA II appears in parallel with the functional maturation
of the ducts. In addition, CA II was transiently expressed by the cellular buds of the submandibular gland at 2 and 3 weeks.

Cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB) is a 43-kDa polypeptide that binds a cAMP response element located at the 5 promoter region of cAMP regulatory genes. The spatial and temporal distribution of CREB in the post-natal development of the rat submandibular gland was investigated using immunohistochemistry with a specific antibody. At birth, cells of the terminal tubules and ducts in the submandibular gland showed a nuclear CREB immunoreactivity of moderate intensity. At 1–2 weeks after birth, an intense CREB immunoreactivity was localized primarily to acinar cells. When the r352;-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol was administered to 2-week-old rats, a twofold transient increase in the number of immunoreactive acinar cells was induced. Beginning 3 weeks after birth, CREB immunoreactivity shifted from acini to the duct system and showed a clear localization in the cells of the intercalated ducts and distal portions of striated ducts, where the granular convoluted tubule develops after 4 weeks. Immunopositive materials were localized exclusively in the nuclei of both acinar and ductal immunoreactive cells. After the development of the granular convoluted tubules, CREB immunoreactivity was absent in the tubule cells and was gradually reduced in intensity over the entire gland. In order to examine a hypothesis that CREB is involved in the initial differentiation of the granular convoluted tubular cells, testosterone was administered to hypophysectomized adult rats. Whereas the tubular cells of hypophysectomized rats showed a complete regression, and no CREB immunoreactivity was found in any acinar or duct cells, administration of testosterone for a few days induced an intense CREB immunoreactivity in the nuclei of duct cells, followed by their differentiation into the granular convoluted tubular cells. These results suggested that CREB is involved not only in the growth and differentiation of acinar ce lls that are regulated by r352;-adrenergic nerves but also in those of the duct system, and especially in the androgen-regulated differentiation of the granular convoluted tubular cells, during the post-natal development of the rat submandibular gland. 相似文献

The distribution of Na pump sites (Na+-K+ ATPase) in the acinar cells of dog submandibular gland was demonstrated by light and electron microscopical radioautography of 3H-ouabain binding sites and electron microscopical ATPase cytochemistry. The grains of 3H-ouabain by light microscopical radioautography were localized to the basal parts of acini and/or the striated ducts, and a small quantity of the grains was also present on the luminal parts of acini. The grains of 3H-ouabain by electron microscopical radioautography and the reaction products of ATPase were found to be localized on the basolateral plasma membrane of both serous and mucous cells, while slightly on the microvilli of the luminal plasma membranes. The present evidence that the distribution of ATPase on the acinar cells determined by the cytochemistry is well concomitant with that of 3H-ouabain binding sites on the acinar cells by the radioautography, suggests that the above mentioned ATPase is Na+-K+ ATPase, a Na pump. The relationship of the distribution of the Na+-K+ ATPase and the cation transport of the plasma membranes in the acinar cells of the dog submandibular gland are discussed. 相似文献

Summary Various organs of three species of monkey were screened histochemically for esteroproteases usingN-acethyl-l-methionine--naphthylester ( N-O-met) as the substrate and also for enzymes with kallikrein-like activity usingd-Val-Leu-Arg-4-methoxy-2-naphthylamide as the substrate. Characteristic differences were found in the localization of the reaction products obtained with both substrates. In the main salivary glands, esteroproteases ( N-O-met reactivity) were found in mucous cells (submandibular gland), intercalated duct cells (parotid gland), acinar cells (sublingual gland), striated and interlobular duct cells (all glands). They were also localized in superficial lining epithelial cells of the digestive system, in liver cells, and acinar cells of the pancreas.Enzymes with kallikrein-like activity were found only in the striated and interlobular duct cells of salivary glands, in acinar cells of the pancreas, and in proximal tubular cells of the kidney. Free cells (including mast cells) normally distributed in the connective tissue of various organs showed reactivity towards N-O-met. Some of these cells were also reactive against Val-Leu-Arg-4-MNA. 相似文献

The novel combination of sialidase digestion with simultaneous PNA and DBA binding yielded marked differences on sialoglycoconjugate occurrence and distribution in the mouse submandibular gland acinar cells of the two sexes. Striking differences in the structure of terminal disaccharides within stored secretory sialoglycoconjugates were also found. High content of sialic acid, characterized by the terminal sequence sialic acid-alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine, was established to only occur in the male acini where secretory cells appeared to be differently stained; indeed, some cells exhibited codistribution of sialic acid-alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine and sialic acid-beta-galactose terminal disaccharides, whereas other ones exclusively contained one of the two kinds of terminal sequences. In the female acinar cells, the secretory products were found to be almost exclusively composed by glycoconjugates having sialic acid subtended to beta-galactose without appreciable differences between acinar cells. Our finding of such extensive differences in the acinar cells of male and female mice adds new insights into the submandibular gland sexual dimorphism, commonly attributed to the androgen responsiveness of the granular convoluted tubule portion of the gland. 相似文献
