Epidermal growth factor (EGF) in rat salivary glands is regulated by testosterone, thyroxin, and growth hormone (GH). Salivary glands of 45-day-old giant and dwarf male and female transgenic mice were examined histologically and by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for EGF. Male giants showed no significant differences from wild-type (WT) parotid and submandibular glands. However, their sublingual glands expressed EGF diffusely and strongly in granular cells within the striated ducts, where they were not found in WT mice. Submandibular gland ducts of female WT were different, having individual granular cells strongly positive for EGF and distributed sporadically along the striated duct walls. Neither female GH-antagonist dwarf mice nor GH-receptor knockout mice had any granular cells expressing EGF in any gland. Obvious presence of granular duct cells in the sublingual glands of giant male mice suggests GH-upregulated granular cell EGF expression. Furthermore, absence of granular duct cells from all glands in female GH-antagonist and GH-receptor knockout transgenic mice suggests that GH is necessary for the differentiation of the granular cell phenotype in female salivary glands. 相似文献

This study used an immunohistochemical technique to assess the expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in 40 specimens of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), 7 specimens of labial glands adjacent to mucocele, and 5 specimens of normal submandibular glands. In normal submandibular glands, immunohistochemically detectable EGF was demonstrated in all ductal segments, including intercalated, striated, and excretory duct cells. No EGF positive staining was found in acinar compartments. including serous and mucous acinar cells. In degenerated labial glands adjacent to mucocele, no EGF staining was detected in the remaining acinar and ductal cells. In salivary ACCs, positive EGF immunostaining was observed in one of the 5 (20%) ACCs with a solid pattern and in 13 of the 35 (37.1%) ACCs with a tubular-cribriform pattern. The overall EGF expression rate in 40 salivary ACCs was 35%. Positive EGF staining was predominantly found in tubular structures in the tubular ACCs and in duct-like structures in large cribriform patterns or in the stroma of the cribriform ACCs. There was no significant correlation between EGF expression in salivary ACCs and any of the clinicopathological parameters including patient age and sex, cancer location, TNM status, clinical stage, histologic type, perivascular or perineural invasion, focal necrosis of tumor, and cellular atypia. We conclude that the duct segments of the normal submandibular gland are the sites of EGF synthesis and secretion. In degenerated labial glands adjacent to mucocele, EGF synthesis is completely inhibited. Furthermore, EGF is mainly biosynthesized in cells forming tubular or duct-like structures in tubular or cribriform salivary ACCs, and EGF may play a biologic role, particularly as a mitogen in salivary ACC growth. 相似文献

To clarify the production of human epidermal growth factor (EGF) by different salivary glands, we measured its concentration by radioimmunoassay separately in whole saliva, in parotid gland (PG) saliva and in mixed submandibular (SMG) and sublingual gland (SLG) saliva. Also, we studied the presence of EGF in PG and SMG by immunohistochemistry. The mean (geometric) concentrations of EGF in PG saliva (2704 pg/ml, +/- SEM interval 2393-3056 pg/ml, n = 20) was higher (p less than 0.001) than in whole saliva (864 pg/ml, +/- 733-1019 pg/ml, n = 29), which in turn was higher (p less than 0.001) than in mixed SMG + SLG saliva (357 pg/ml, +/- 296-430 pg/ml, n = 16). No sex difference existed in any salivary gland EGF. Immunohistochemistry revealed EGF in the acinar cells of both PG and SMG, but only in PG there were prominent EGF deposits in luminal spaces. Our data suggest that EGF is produced by both PG and SMG, but that more of it is secreted from the PG. This result is new and challenges the general view that human salivary EGF is mainly from SMG. In mouse almost all salivary EGF comes from SMG and its amount is androgen dependent. Thus there are great differences in sources and regulation of salivary EGF between man and mouse. 相似文献

1. Two forms of rat epidermal growth factor, EGF-I and EGF-II, were purified to homogeneity from male rat submandibular glands. 2. The mol. wts of EGF-I and -II were estimated to be 5200 and 5400, respectively, both of them having an apparent biological activity. 3. The antiserum against EGF-II strongly cross-reacted with EGF-I; however, it did so only slightly with mouse or human EGF. 4. EGF was detected by radioimmunoassay in various tissues of male and female rats, and the concentrations of rat EGF in the submandibular gland, parotid gland, sublingual gland, and liver were significantly higher in the male than in the female. 相似文献

The effect of sialoadenectomy on gastric mucosal integrity in the rat: roles of epidermal growth factor and prostaglandin E2 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Removal of the salivary glands (SALX) in rats has been shown to increase the susceptibility of gastric mucosa to ulcerogens. In the present study, we have investigated the role of specific salivary glands in this response. In addition, we have examined whether a functional link exists between the salivary glands, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by determining whether SALX decreases the responsiveness of the mucosa to the protective actions of either of both of these agents. Removal of the parotid salivary glands did not significantly increase ulceration in response to intragastric administration of 100% w/v ethanol. Animals were examined 60 min after ethanol administration. Removal of the submandibular-sublingual gland complexes was associated with a significant increase in the area of mucosal damage and a decrease in gastric pit depth in ethanol-treated animals when compared with sham-operated control rats. Furthermore, in both SALX and control animals, exogenous PGE2 and EGF resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in both groups of animals, although the protective effects of PGE2 and EGF were attenuated in SALX rats. PGE2 and EGF administered in combination resulted in the same degree of protection in both SALX and control rats. Sialoadenectomy resulted in a reduction in mucosal PGE2 synthesis. EGF administration did not consistently increase mucosal PGE2 synthesis. Conversely, sialoadenectomy did not reduce mucosal levels of EGF nor did exogenous PGE2 consistently increase salivary or mucosal content of EGF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Summary To study the regulation of human salivary-type gene expression we developed cell culture systems to support the growth and
serial cultivation of salivary gland epithelial and fibroblastic cell types. We have established 22 independent salivary gland
epithelial cell strains from parotid or submandibular glands of human or macaque origin. Nineteen strains were derived from
normal tissues and three from human parotid gland tumors. Both the normal and the tumor-derived salivary gland epithelial
cells could be serially cultivated with the aid of a 3T3 fibroblast feeder layer in a mixture of Ham’s F12 and Dulbecco’s
modified Eagle’s media supplemented with fetal bovine serum, calcium, cholera toxin, hydrocortisone, insulin, and epidermal
growth factor.
Salivary gland epithelial cells cultured under these conditions continued to express the genes for at least two acinar-cell-specific
markers at early passages. Amylase enzyme activity was detected in conditioned media from cultured rhesus parotid epithelial
cells as late as Passage 5. Proline-rich-protein-specific RNAs were detected in primary cultures of both rhesus and human
parotid epithelial cells. Neither amylase enzyme activity nor PRP-specific RNAs were detected in fibroblasts isolated from
the same tissues. In addition, salivary gland epithelial cells cultured under our conditions retain the capacity to undergo
dramatic morphologic changes in response to different substrata.
The cultured salivary gland epithelial cells we have established will be important tools for the study of salivary gland differentiation
and the tissue-specific regulation of salivary-type gene expression. 相似文献

Abstract The rat secretory ductal obstruction model has been widely used to assess salivary gland injury, growth, and differentiation. In this study, a novel ductal obstruction and release procedure was used to explore the signaling pathways leading to salivary gland regeneration. Rats underwent bilateral parotid ductal obstruction in which the duct was occluded against a plastic disk subcutaneously and released by external ligature removal. This ductal obstruction/release procedure was validated to produce glandular atrophy and regeneration with histological analysis and periodic acid-Schiff staining. Immunoblot analysis indicated that during ductal obstruction and the early post-release period (day 7), expression of immunoreactive proliferating cell nuclear antigen and vimentin was increased in the parotid glands compared with sham-operated animals. Immunohistochemical staining and immunoblots revealed up-regulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), extracellular signal-regulated receptor kinase (ERK)1/2, and p38 during the atrophic and regeneration phases of ductal obstruction/release. Similarly, increases in activated, i.e., phosphorylated, ERK1/2 (pERK1/2) and p38 (phospho-p38) were demonstrable in both ductal and recovering acinar cells, with pERKs expressed predominantly in the nuclei and phospho-p38 distributed throughout the cells. Furthermore, levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor and β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) were elevated in the ligated glands and at day 7 post-release; β1-AR levels did not change over the same time period. These results support the view that cell proliferation is involved in duct ligation-induced atrophy of the rat parotid gland and gland recovery upon ligature removal. Up-regulation of ERKs and p38, and the activation of these MAPKs by up-regulated EGF and β2-ARs, may be important signaling components underlying glandular atrophy and subsequent regeneration. 相似文献

Using a DNA construct, named Lama, derived from the murine parotid secretory protein (PSP) gene, we have obtained salivary gland specific gene expression in transgenic mice. Lama is a PSP minigene and allows analysis of the PSP gene 5' regulatory region by transgenesis. We show here that the regulatory region included in Lama with 4.6 kb of 5' flanking sequence is sufficient to direct expression specifically to the salivary glands. The expression level in the parotid gland is only about one percent of the PSP mRNA level, while that of the sublingual gland is near the PSP mRNA level. This suggests significant differences in the PSP gene regulation in the two glands. In addition, Lama is a secretory expression vector in which cDNAs or genomic fragments can be inserted. We demonstrate that the Lama construct can direct the expression of a heterologous cDNA encoding the C-terminal peptide of human factor VIII to salivary glands and that the corresponding peptide is secreted into saliva. 相似文献

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is characterized by hypofunction of the salivary and lacrimal glands. The salivary function is largely dependent upon the blood supply in the glands. However, the diseased states of the gland perfusion are not well understood. The arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique allows noninvasive quantitative assessment of tissue perfusion without the need for contrast agent. Here, we prospectively compared the perfusion properties of the parotid glands between patients with SS and those with healthy glands using ASL MR imaging. We analyzed salivary blood flow (SBF) kinetics of 22 healthy parotid glands from 11 volunteers and 28 parotid glands from 14 SS patients using 3T pseudo-continuous ASL imaging. SBF was determined in resting state (base SBF) and at 3 sequential segments after gustatory stimulation. SBF kinetic profiles were characterized by base SBF level, increment ratio at the SBF peak, and the differences in segments where the peak appeared (SBF types). Base SBFs of the SS glands were significantly higher than those of healthy glands (59.2 ± 22.8 vs. 46.3 ± 9.0 mL/min/100 g, p = 0.01). SBF kinetic profiles of the SS glands also exhibited significantly later SBF peaks (p < 0.001) and higher SBF increment ratios (74 ± 49% vs. 47 ± 39%, p = 0.04) than the healthy glands. The best SBF criterion (= 51.2 mL/min/100 mg) differentiated between control subjects and SS patients with 71% sensitivity and 82% specificity. Taken together, these results showed that the SS parotid glands were mostly hyperemic and the SS gland responses to gustatory stimulation were stronger and more prolonged than those of the healthy glands. The ASL may be a promising technique for assessing the diseased salivary gland vascularization of SS patients. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated high levels of GM1-ganglioside beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) in the salivary glands of Swiss-Webster mice (Nowroozi et al., J Craniofac Genet Dev Biol 18:51, 1998), and suggested that this activity reflects an important role for the lysosome in catabolism of salivary glycoconjugates. Here, we characterized and compared activities of lysosomal glycosidases among the salivary glands, spleen, and muscle of C57BL/6 mice, beta-gal hexosaminidase, and beta-glucuronidase activities are high in all three glands relative to muscle. Enzyme activities in the sublingual gland were substantially higher than in the submandibular and parotid glands. Spleen displays levels of activity that are comparable or higher (for beta-glucuronidase) than those in the salivary glands, whereas muscle displays substantially lower levels of these lysosomal glycosidases. In order to investigate the role of beta-gal in the salivary glands, we further characterized the salivary phenotype of knock-out mice deficient in this enzyme, mimicking human GM1-gangliosidosis. In contrast with the relative levels of beta-gal specific-activity among the salivary glands, only the parotid developed severe, generalized, degenerative histopathological changes in beta-gal-deficient knock-out mice. GM1-like-ganglioside, typically found at high levels only in the nerve tissue, where its exact function is still not clear, was demonstrated in storage vacuoles of the parotid glands of the deficient mice by binding of cholera toxin subunit B. Thus, beta-gal activity observed in the parotid gland most likely reflects its role in GM1-ganglioside catabolism, and this ganglioside, never previously reported in the salivary glands, may have a role in parotid exocrine secretory functions. beta-gal may also serve in secretory glycoprotein catabolism in other salivary glands, but this function may be non-essential for these glands. 相似文献

Salivary glands synthesize and secrete an unusual family of proline-rich proteins (PRPs) that can be broadly divided into acidic and basic PRPs. We studied the tissue-specific expression of these proteins in rabbits, using antibodies to rabbit acidic and basic PRPs as well as antibodies and cDNA probes to human PRPs. By immunoblotting, in vitro translation, and Northern blotting, basic PRPs could be readily detected in the parotid gland but were absent in other salivary glands. In contrast, synthesis in vitro of acidic PRPs was detected in parotid, sublingual, and submandibular glands. Ultrastructural localization with immunogold showed heavy labeling with antibodies to acidic PRPs of secretory granules of parotid acinar cells and sublingual serous demilune cells. Less intense labeling occurred in the seromucous acinar cells of the submandibular gland. With antibodies to basic PRPs, the labeling of the parotid gland was similar to that observed with antibodies to acidic PRPs, but there was only weak labeling of granules of a few sublingual demilune cells, and no labeling of the submandibular gland. These results demonstrate a variable pattern of distribution of acidic and basic PRPs in rabbit salivary glands. These animals are therefore well suited for study of differential tissue expression of PRPs. 相似文献

Kallikrein has been localized in rodent kidney and salivary glands by means of an immunoglobulin-enzyme bridge technique. In sections of kidney, anti-kallikrein antibodies bound to the apical region of certain distal tubule segments in the cortex, to reabsorption droplets of proximal convoluted tubules, and to certain duct segments in the papilla. In salivary glands of both male and female rats and mice, and apical rim of most striated duct cells of submandibular, parotid and sublingual glands and granular tubules of submandibular glands exhibited immunoreactivity. Granular intercalated duct cells in female submandibular glands also displayed immunostaining for kallikrein. Phenylephrine administration resulted in loss of immunoreactive granules from the granular convoluted tubule cells of male mouse submandibular gland. This response was paralleled by a biochemically demonstrable decrease in kallikrein-like tosylarginine methyl ester (TAME) esterase activity. 相似文献

Dried saliva spot sampling is a minimally invasive technique for the spatial mapping of salivary protein distribution in the oral cavity. In conjunction with untargeted nano‐flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC–MS/MS) analysis, DSS is used to compare the proteomes secreted by unstimulated parotid and submandibular/sublingual salivary glands. Two hundred and twenty proteins show a statistically significant association with parotid gland secretion, while 30 proteins are at least tenfold more abundant in the submandibular/sublingual glands. Protein identifications and label‐free quantifications are highly reproducible across the paired glands on three consecutive days, enabling to establish the core proteome of glandular secretions categorized into eight salivary protein groups according to their biological functions. The data suggest that the relative contributions of the salivary glands fine‐tune the biological activity of human saliva via medium‐abundant proteins. A number of biomarker candidates for Sjögren's syndrome are observed among the gland‐specifically expressed proteins, which indicates that glandular origin is an important factor to consider in salivary biomarker discovery. 相似文献

The effect of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and acetylcholine on secretion of epidermal growth factor (EGF) from the rat salivary glands was investigated. VIP in doses of 3 X 10(-10) to 3 X 10(-8) mol/kg per h stimulated secretion of saliva and total output of EGF dose-dependently. Acetylcholine also stimulated salivation and output of EGF. VIP in a dose of 3 X 10(-11) to 3 X 10(-10) mol/kg per h enhanced the stimulatory effect of acetylcholine, but this effect disappeared when the dose of VIP was increased. Adrenalectomy decreased acetylcholine stimulated total output of EGF by approximately 50%, but only by 20% when acetylcholine plus VIP was administered. EGF was localized to the convoluted granular tubules in the submandibular gland, whereas EGF could not be detected in the remaining salivary glands. The results suggest that VIP and acetylcholine cooperate in the control of exocrine secretion from the rat salivary glands. The effect of acetylcholine, however, seems to be partly dependent on circulating catecholamines. 相似文献

Effects of sialoadenectomy and epidermal growth factor administration on the duodenum of adult mice.
M Hiramatsu M Kashimata M Murayama K Ui K Tsubakida N Minami 《Biochemistry international》1990,21(4):753-760
Sialoadenectomy (removal of the submandibular glands) of adult male and female mice caused significant or apparent decreases in duodenal weight, duodenal protein, DNA and RNA contents, and alkaline phosphatase activity. These decreased levels observed in sialoadenectomized mice were completely restored to or rather increased over the control levels by epidermal growth factor (EGF) administration. There was no appreciable difference in body weight between the control and sialoadenectomized mice. These results strongly suggest that salivary EGF secreted from the submandibular gland plays a role in the maintenance of growth and function(s) of the adult mouse duodenum. 相似文献

Sorting of transgenic secretory proteins in miniature pig parotid glands following adenoviral-mediated gene transfer 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

BACKGROUND: Gene transfer to salivary glands for use in treating both systemic and upper gastrointestinal tract diseases shows considerable potential. Numerous studies in rodents demonstrate that salivary glands can secrete transgenic secretory proteins either into saliva, primarily via the regulated secretory pathway (RSP), or into the bloodstream, primarily by the constitutive secretory pathway (CSP). The purpose of the present study was to assess the sorting characteristics of human growth hormone (hGH), a RSP protein, and human erythropoietin (hEpo), a CSP protein, in a large animal model of salivary gland gene transfer, the miniature pig. METHODS: Recombinant serotype 5 adenoviral (Ad5; 10(11) particles/gland) vectors encoding either hGH (AdCMVhGH) or hEpo (AdCMVhEpo) were administered to both parotid glands of male miniature pigs by intraductal cannulation. The secretion of hGH or hEpo was measured in both saliva and serum on days 3, 7 and 14 following administration. Detailed serum chemistry and hematological analyses were performed, and the presence of serum antibodies to hGH and hEpo was measured. For AdCMVhEpo-treated minipigs vector distribution in multiple tissues was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR). RESULTS: The RSP protein hGH was secreted entirely into saliva, while the CSP protein hEpo was secreted into both saliva and serum. Most hEpo was found in saliva, but serum hEpo levels were sufficient to significantly increase hematocrit levels in treated animals by approximately 10%. Expression of both transgenes was maximal on day 3 and declined to near background by day 14. The amount of vector found in the targeted glands was 100 x more than in other tissues. CONCLUSIONS: Secretion of transgenic hGH from minipig parotid glands occurred principally into saliva via the RSP, as seen in rodents, while hEpo was secreted into both saliva and serum, the latter presumably via the CSP. Even though hEpo secretion into the bloodstream was not to the extent previously observed in rodents, serum hEpo levels were considerable and the hEpo was biologically active. Ad5 vector distribution was highly restricted to the parotid glands with little vector detected elsewhere. While the results in this large animal model support the established notion that salivary gland gene transfer can be used for treating systemic single protein deficiency disorders, they also highlight differences in transgenic CSP protein sorting between rodents and miniature pigs. 相似文献

Chemical characterization of the two forms of epidermal growth factor in murine saliva 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Extracts of murine salivary glands contain two molecular forms of epidermal growth factor, EGF I and EGF II (Petrides, P.E., Levine, A.E., Shooter, E.M. in: Peptides: - Synthesis, Structure and Function (Rich, D.H., Gross, E.eds.) p. 781 (1981]. We have identified both molecules not only in salivary gland extracts but also in saliva using only reverse phase liquid chromatography methodology. EGF I and II were isolated from submaxillary gland extracts in a ratio of 3:1 regardless of whether the classical isolation procedure or our rapid RPLC based technique was used. Both molecular forms were present in the same ratio in saliva of mice of both sexes when salivation was induced by epinephrine treatment of the animals. As judged by amino acid analysis and N-terminal sequencing salivary EGF I corresponds to the 53 amino acid sequence of murine EGF and EGF II is Des-ASN-EGF. The observation that EGF and Des-ASN-EGF are consecreted into saliva upon epinephrine stimulation implies a physiological role of EGF II which may be related to the high molecular weight EGF-complex. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) isolated from mouse salivary glands, enhanced the multiplication and [3H]TdR incorporation of human normal glia cells in serum-free medium supplemented with human serum albumin. Optimal dose was 2 ng/ml for both dense and sparse cultures but dense cultures were stimulated by EGF to a much less extent than sparse cultures. Data are presented that make the possibility unlikely that the density dependent inhibition of the EGF response is due to depletion of EGF in the medium or a local, juxtacellular starvation for the factor. 相似文献
