项目摘要

In the rodent submandibular glands (SMG), acinar cell proliferation and differentiation in the early postnatal weeks are dependent on the β adrenergic autonomic nervous system, whereas the differentiation of duct cells into granular convoluted tubule (GCT) cells in the puberty is dependent on androgens. In the present study, we have revealed the following things :1) In both the proliferating acinar cells and the duct cells undergoing differentiation into GCT cells in the rat SMG, the transcription factor CREB occurs temporalily in the nuclei and plays essential roles in the cell proliferation and differentiation as shown by mmunohistochemistry and the antisense inhibition technique.2) During 3-4 weeks postpartum, when the acinar cells stop proliferation and switch to differentiation, the immature cells located in the center of the acini temporarily express the 25 kD heat shock protein (Hsp25) before they differentiate into the mature acinar cells.3) In the SMG of hypophysectomized rat, the induction of the protease inhibitor cystatin S mRNA 24 h afer a single administration of the β adrenergic agonist isoproterenol is much less than that in the control. Administration of one of the pituitary-dependent hormones, i.e., testosterone, estradiol, dexamethasone and thyroxine, together with isoproterenol results in marked recovery of the cystatin S mRNA expression.4) In the SMG of mice, the expression of JunD, an oncogen product and transcription factor, is localized to the duct system and much more abundant in the female than in the male gland. During the postnatal development and the testosterone-induced GCT cell differentiation, JunD expression is temporarily induced in the nuclei of striated duct cells and disappeares as they differentiate into GCT cells.These results suggested the existence of cross-talks between multiple signaling pathways responsible for the proliferation and differentiation of acinar and duct components of the rodent SMG.

在啮齿类下颌下腺（SMG）中，出生后早期的腺泡细胞增殖和分化依赖于β肾上腺素能自主神经系统，而青春期导管细胞分化为颗粒曲管（GCT）细胞则依赖于雄激素在本研究中，我们揭示了以下内容：1）在大鼠 SMG 中增殖的腺泡细胞和分化为 GCT 细胞的导管细胞中，免疫组织化学和反义抑制技术显示，转录因子CREB暂时出现在细胞核中，在细胞增殖和分化中发挥重要作用。2）产后3-4周，当腺泡细胞停止增殖并转向分化时，位于腺泡中心的未成熟细胞在分化为成熟腺泡细胞之前暂时表达 25 kD 热休克蛋白 (Hsp25)。 3) 在 SMG 中在垂体切除的大鼠中，单次施用 β 肾上腺素能激动剂异丙肾上腺素 24 小时后，蛋白酶抑制剂半胱氨酸蛋白酶抑制剂 S mRNA 的诱导远远低于施用一种垂体依赖性激素（即睾酮、雌二醇、地塞米松）的对照组。和甲状腺素与异丙肾上腺素一起导致胱抑素 S mRNA 表达显着恢复。4) 在 SMG 中在小鼠体内，JunD（一种致癌产物和转录因子）的表达位于导管系统，并且在雌性腺体中比在雄性腺体中丰富得多。在出生后发育和睾酮诱导的 GCT 细胞分化过程中，JunD 表达是这些结果表明，在负责啮齿动物 SMG 腺泡和导管成分的增殖和分化的多个信号通路之间存在串扰。
