Disease relevance of Salivary Ducts

  • These results suggest that inactivation of p16 is important in the development or progression of at least some salivary duct carcinomas, but we found no evidence that its alteration plays a role in the other subtypes examined [1].
  • The relatively poor clinical outcome of the patients in our study mirrored that seen in usual-type salivary duct carcinoma and emphasizes the importance of differentiating mucin-rich salivary duct carcinoma from pure mucinous (colloid) adenocarcinoma, a tumor not fully defined, but possibly with a better prognosis [2].
  • Small quantities of mucin have often been described in salivary duct carcinoma but not large extracellular mucinous lakes, which though prominent in the present series, were not as extensive as in mucinous adenocarcinoma [2].
  • Oral manifestations included hypodontia, microdontia, unerupted mandibular premolars with well formed roots, large dental pulp spaces, enamel hypoplasia, multiple caries, glossy tongue, and congenital absence of lingual frenum and of sublingual caruncles including submandibular and sublingual salivary duct openings [3].
  • Recently, it has been shown that the inducible isoform of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase, iNOS, is expressed in both salivary ducts and pleomorphic adenoma [4].

Biological context of Salivary Ducts

  • To our knowledge, this is the first molecular genetic analysis of HER-2/neu in salivary duct carcinoma [13].
  • In the present study, double immunohistochemical labeling for Ki 67 and alpha-actin or different cytokeratin subtypes, respectively, made possible an exact localization and quantification of cellular proliferation in the regular salivary duct and in different types of metaplasia [14].
  • PRP may be of biological significance in maintaining homeostasis of the buffering system of saliva, which is mainly composed of bicarbonate, and in preventing the formation of stones consisting of CaCO3 in the salivary ducts [15].
  • Our findings suggest that HGF may play an important role in the development of salivary ducts of normal salivary tissues and differentiation of ductal structures of their neoplasms, while HGF kinetics in saliva and serum would be less likely to reflect the neoplastic character, benign or malignant [16].
  • A review of known functions of prolactin in man and other animals is presented, and it was concluded that normal human minor salivary gland tissue possesses binding sites for prolactin, which suggests that prolactin may play a role in the metabolic functioning of the salivary duct cells [17].

Associations of Salivary Ducts with chemical compounds

  • In the preceding manuscript (Zhao, H., Xu, X., Diaz, J., and Muallem, S. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 19599-19605), we described a Kout(+)-dependent H+/HCO3- and Na+ influx pathway in the luminal membrane of salivary duct cells [23].
  • The overall findings support a significant role for the Kout(+)-dependent pathway(s) in Na+ reabsorption and K+ and HCO3- secretion and explain several features of transepithelial electrolyte transport by salivary ducts [23].
  • Finally, we show that changes in redox potential and Zn(2+) are regulating, via SOCC activity, the agonist-induced Ca(2+) response in salivary ducts [24].
  • 1. We have previously reported that the Na+ conductance in mouse intralobular salivary duct cells is controlled by cytosolic anions, being inhibited by high cytosolic concentrations of Cl- and NO3- but not of glutamate [25].
  • Dopamine-induced graded intracellular Ca2+ elevation via the Na+Ca2+ exchanger operating in the Ca2+-entry mode in cockroach salivary ducts [26].
