ABSTRACT
According to recent studies, it is highly possible that the occurrence of vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter (VIAAT) is a good marker of GABA-signaling not only in the brain, but also in extra-brain tissue cells containing GABA and GAD. In view of this, the present study was attempted to localize VIAAT-immunoreactivity in the submandibular gland of mice. In the present study, the submandibular glands of male mice at various postnatal developmental stages were examined for detailed localization of VIAAT-immunoreactivity in immunohistochemistry at light microscopic level. The immunoreactivity for VIAAT was localized in epithelial cells of proximal and distal excretory ducts with the striated portion more intensely immunopositive at young postnatal stages. No significant immunoreactivity was seen in the acinar cells throughout the postnatal development. In addition, the immunoreactivity for VIAAT was detected in the salivary parasympathetic ganglionic neurons, but not in any nerve fibers surrounding the glandular cells. Furthermore, VIAAT-immunoreactivity was found in smooth muscle cells forming the outermost layer of intralobular arterioles. From the present findings, it is possible that GABA plays roles as paracrine and autocrine regulators in the saliva secretion as well as the gland development.
RESUMEN
Según estudios recientes, es altamente posible que la aparición del transportador vesicular de aminoácidos inhibidores (VIAAT) sea un buen marcador de señalización de GABA no sólo en el cerebro, sino también en células de tejido extra-cerebrales que contienen GABA y GAD. En el presente estudio se intentó localizar inmunoreactividad a VIAAT en la glándula submandibular de ratones. En el presente estudio, se examinaron las glándulas submandibulares de ratones machos en las distintas etapas del desarrollo postnatal para la localización detallada de inmunoreactividad a VIAAT inmunohistoquímicamente a nivel de microscopía óptica. La inmunorreactividad para VIAAT se localizó en las células epiteliales de los conductos excretores proximal y distal, con mayor intensidad en la porción estriada en las etapas tempranas. No se observó inmunoreactividad significativa en las células acinares durante el desarrollo postnatal. Además, se detectó la inmunoreactividad para VIAAT en las neuronas ganglionares parasimpáticas salivales, pero no en las fibras nerviosas que rodean las células glandulares. Además, la inmunoreactividad a VIAAT se encuentra en las células del músculo liso que forman la capa más externa de las arterias interlobulillares. En base a estos hallazgos, es posible que GABA tenga una función como regulador autocrino y paraparacrino en la secreción de saliva, así como en el desarrollo de la glándula.
