cholinergic autoantibodies from primary sjögren’s syndrome inhibit mucin production via phospholipase c and cyclooxygenase-2 in the rat submandibular gland

چکیده
background: patients with primary sjögren’s syndrome (pss) produce functional igg against cholinoreceptor of exocrine glands modifying their activity. the aim of the present work was to demonstrate pss igg antibodies (pss igg) interacting with m 3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (machr) of rats submandibular glands that alter mucin release and production via phospholipase c (plc) and cyclooxigenase-2 (cox-2) pathways. methods: mucin release and production of prostaglandin e2 (pge2), and total inositol phosphates (insp) were measured in rat submandibular gland in the presence of pss igg auto antibodies. results: the auto antibodies interacting with m3 machr decreased mucin release and production through stimulation of plc and cox-2. this stimulation leads to an incremental increase in insp production and in pge2 generation, inducing signalling through the prostaglandin membrane receptors subtype 2 (ep2). moreover, the decrease in mucin production had negative correlation with pge 2 generation and insp accumulation. conclusion: igg in patients with pss could play an important role in the pathoetiology of dry mouth, decreasing the salivary mucin through the production of proinflammatory substances and leading to the reduction in the protection of the oral tissues.

AbstractChronic sialadenitis is a disease of salivary glands associated with chronic infections,systemic diseases and silolithiasis pathogenesis of the disease. Primary tuberculoussubmandibulitis is not a reported disease. The diagnosis was confirmed whena 45 years old lady suspicious to submandibular gland tumor was operated on for excisionalbiopsy.

Exogenous ATP stimulated phospholipase D (PLD), but not sphingomyelinase in rat submandibular gland (SMG) acini. PLD activation was dependent upon extracellular Ca(2+) and did not involve intracellular Ca(2+) mobilization or phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C activation. ATP-stimulated PLD was attenuated by inhibition or downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC). PLD activation was fully ...

Background: We wanted to determine (via an immunopharmacological approach) whether the c-Jun NH2 terminal kinase (JNK) cascade is phosphorylated in the submandibular gland by carbachol and cholinergic autoantibodies (IgG) present in the sera of patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) by interaction and activation of salivary gland muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs). Methods: The...

Lectin cytochemistry was performed in vitro on primary cultures from the rat submandibular gland. For this purpose, prepubertal rats (17, 27, 33 days old) of both sexes were used. Several types of medium supplements were tested and it was found that cells survived until 15 days in presence of all medium supplements and extracellular matrix gel. The binding patterns of all FITC/TRITC-labeled lec...

Mouse submandibular salivary gland (SMG) mucin is the primary histodifferentiation product of submandibular epithelia. We demonstrate marked differences between embryonic, neonatal, and adult SMG mucin mRNA and protein by Northern and Western blot analyses: E17 and 1-day-old neonates exhibit two unique mucin transcripts (1.20 and 0.85 kb) which are approximately 19% greater or smaller in size t...

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate the role of protein kinase C (PKC) and phospholipase D (PLD) in angiotensin II (AngII)- and phorbol ester (PMA)-induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression and prostacyclin (PGI(2)) production in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMC). METHODS Prostacyclin production in cultured VSMC was determined by radioimmunoassay. PKC activity was ex...
