Taste of a Pill: ORGANIC CATION TRANSPORTER-3 (OCT3) MEDIATES METFORMIN ACCUMULATION AND SECRETION IN SALIVARY GLANDS*

Drug-induced taste disturbance is a common adverse drug reaction often triggered by drug secretion into saliva. Very little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying salivary gland transport of xenobiotics, and most drugs are assumed to enter saliva by passive diffusion. In this study, we demonstrate that salivary glands selectively and highly express OCT3 (organic cation transporter-3), a polyspecific drug transporter in the solute carrier 22 family. OCT3 protein is localized at both basolateral (blood-facing) and apical (saliva-facing) membranes of salivary gland acinar cells, suggesting a dual role of this transporter in mediating both epithelial uptake and efflux of organic cations in the secretory cells of salivary glands. Metformin, a widely used anti-diabetic drug known to induce taste disturbance, is transported by OCT3/Oct3 in vitro. In vivo, metformin was actively transported with a high level of accumulation in the salivary glands of wild-type mice. In contrast, active uptake and accumulation of metformin in salivary glands were abolished in Oct3^−/− mice. Oct3^−/− mice also showed altered metformin pharmacokinetics and reduced drug exposure in the heart. These results demonstrate that OCT3 is responsible for metformin accumulation and secretion in salivary glands. Our study uncovered a novel carrier-mediated pathway for drug entry into saliva and sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms underlying drug-induced taste disorders.     

CHRONOTYPE,SLEEP LOSS,AND DIURNAL PATTERN OF SALIVARY CORTISOL IN A SIMULATED DAYLONG DRIVING

The study focused on chronotype-related differences in subjective load assessment, sleepiness, and salivary cortisol pattern in subjects performing daylong simulated driving. Individual differences in work stress appraisal and psychobiological cost of prolonged load seem to be of importance in view of expanding compressed working time schedules. Twenty-one healthy, male volunteers (mean?±?SD: 27.9?±?4.9 yrs) were required to stay in semiconstant routine conditions. They performed four sessions (each lasting ～2.5?h) of simulated driving, i.e., completed chosen tasks from computer driving games. Saliva samples were collected after each driving session, i.e., at 10:00–11:00, 14:00–15:00, 18:00–19:00, and 22:00–23:00?h as well as 10–30?min after waking (between 05:00 and 06:00?h) and at bedtime (after 00:00?h). Two subgroups of subjects were distinguished on the basis of the Chronotype Questionnaire: morning (M)- and evening (E)-oriented types. Subjective data on sleep need, sleeping time preferences, sleeping problems, and the details of the preceding night were investigated by questionnaire. Subjective measures of task load (NASA Task Load Index [NASA-TLX]), activation (Thayer's Activation-Deactivation Adjective Check List [AD ACL]), and sleepiness (Karolinska Sleepiness Scale [KSS]) were applied at times of saliva samples collection. M- and E-oriented types differed significantly as to their ideal sleep length (6 h 54 min?±?44 versus 8 h 13 min?±?50 min), preferred sleep timing (midpoint at 03:19 versus 04:26), and sleep index, i.e., ‘real-to-ideal’ sleep ratio, before the experimental day (0.88 versus 0.67). Sleep deficit proved to be integrated with eveningness. M and E types exhibited similar diurnal profiles of energy, tiredness, tension, and calmness assessed by AD ACL, but E types estimated higher their workload (NASA-TLX) and sleepiness (KSS). M types exhibited a trend of higher mean cortisol levels than E types (F?=?4.192, p?<?.056) and distinct diurnal variation (F?=?2.950, p?<?.019), whereas E types showed a flattened diurnal curve. Cortisol values did not correlate with subjective assessments of workload, arousal, or sleepiness at any time-of-day. Diurnal cortisol pattern parameters (i.e., morning level, mean level, and range of diurnal changes) showed significant positive correlations with sleep length before the experiment (r?=?.48, .54, and .53, respectively) and with sleep index (r?=?.63, .64, and .56, respectively). The conclusions of this study are: (i) E-oriented types showed lower salivary cortisol levels and a flattened diurnal curve in comparison with M types; (ii) sleep loss was associated with lower morning cortisol and mean diurnal level, whereas higher cortisol levels were observed in rested individuals. In the context of stress theory, it may be hypothesized that rested subjects perceived the driving task as a challenge, whereas those with reduced sleep were not challenged, but bored/exhausted with the experimental situation.

PROTEOME ANALYSIS OF GUT AND SALIVARY GLAND PROTEINS OF FIFTH-INSTAR NYMPH AND ADULTS OF THE SUNN PEST, Eurygaster integriceps

In the digestive system of the sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Hemiptera: Scutelleridae), the salivary gland has a key role in extra oral digestion and the gut is the main site for digestion of food. In this study, proteomics was used to study the role of proteins involved in digestion. The amount of feeding on wheat grain by adult insects increased by comparison to fifth-instar nymphs. Proteins of the gut and salivary gland in adults and fifth-instar nymphs were analyzed 1 day after feeding. The proteins related to digestion, metabolism, and defense against toxins were accumulated in the gut of adult insects. Three plant proteins including serpin, dehydroascorbate reductase, and β-amylase were accumulated in guts of adults. In the salivary gland, phospholipase A2 and arginine kinase were increased in adults. Heat shock protein 70 increased in the gut of fifth-instar nymphs. Proteomic analysis revealed that most of changed proteins in digestive system of sunn pest were increased in adults. This study provided more targets derived from gut and salivary gland for pest management.

STRUCTURE AND CHANGES OF THE SALIVARY GLAND OF FEMALE DERMACENTOR SILVARUM OLENEV (ACARI: IXODIDAE)

Abstract The salivary gland (SG) of female Dermacentor silvarum consists of salivary ducts and lots of acini.
From the basis capituli to the end of the gland, the ducts can be divided into three parts, namely, central duct, major branch ducts and the lobular ducts, and the acini is spherical-like structures attached to various ducts. The central duct parallels with trachea. The surface of the acini is wrinkly and many small tracheae distributed on the acini. In unfed female, the length of SG is short (547.33 μm) and extends on the first day after feeding, and reaches its maximum value (1109.40 μm) on the 3rd day after feeding, while copulation has justly completed. From the 3rd day after feeding to the first three days after engorgement, no apparent change in length of the gland is observed. On the 4th day after engorgement, it shortens sharply (500.00 μm). The diameter of the acini of unfed female is also short (45.24 μm), it increases gradually during feeding and reaches its maximum (74.10 μm) on the 5th day after feeding. After engorgement, the acini becomes atrophic slowly and degenerated sharply on the 4th day.

AN ULTRASTRUCTURAL STUDY OF THE GLAND OF LEIBLEIN OF MURICID AND NASSARIID NEOGASTROPODS IN RELATION TO FUNCTION, WITH A DISCUSSION ON ITS HOMOLOGIES IN OTHER CAENOGASTROPODS

The gland of Leiblein of the muricid Nucella lapillus and thenassariid Hinia reticulata has been examined by scanning andtransmission electron microscopy. The origin and functionalsignificance of its complex organization and its relationshipwith the rest of the mid-oesophagus in Nucella are discussed.It is absorptive as well as secretory, and a mechanism is proposedby which solute-rich fluids may enter the gland. Its epitheliumis composed of occasional mucous cells and two major cell types:ciliated cells engaged in protein metabolism and unciliatedcells responsible for uptake and storage of lipids and carbohydrates,both of which show evidence of pinocytotic uptake of solutesand intracellular digestion in lysosomes. Some enzyme activitypersists in the residual bodies they shed by apocrine secretion,but they remain intact in a mucous string until they reach thestomach. Preliminary ultrastructural examination indicates thatthe gland absorbs cadmium not only from the blood but also directlyfrom its lumen and that it may have the capacity to sequestera wide range of toxins. The same types of cell occur in Hiniain which their cyclical activity has been correlated with feeding.Similar cells have been identified in the oesophageal glandsof other prosobranchs. The foregut glands of carnivorous caenogastropodsare compared with the gland of Leiblein. There is an inversecorrelation between the role of the mid-oesophagus in digestionand absorption and the complexity of the stomach. (Received 16 August 2004; accepted 24 January 2005)
