Abstract
Oral dryness as a side effect of certain drugs is increasing. The aim of this study was to examine the change of the protein ingredient in saliva of oral dryness patients caused by calcium blocker. Six patients taking calcium blocker and six healthy elderly were enrolled. Unstimulated salivary flow rate, protein concentration, and flow rate of protein were measured and compared between the patients taking calcium blocker and healthy elderly. iTRAQ (Isobaric Tag for Relative and Absolute Quantitation) proteomic analysis was performed to extract the salivary protein changed in patient taking calcium blocker, and the intensities of Western blotting products were quantified (unpaired t-test). Unstimulated salivary flow rate was significantly lower on patients taking calcium blocker (p < 0.01). Protein concentration tended to be higher and the flow rate of protein tended to be lower on patients. As the result of iTRAQ proteomic analysis, calmodulin-like protein 3, glutathione S-transferase P, and keratin type I cytoskeletal 13 increased characteristically in patient taking calcium blocker, and the expression in calmodulin-like protein 3 was significantly larger (p < 0.01). The results of this study indicated that calmodulin-like protein 3 increased in patients taking calcium blocker and could be a salivary biomarker for oral dryness caused by calcium blocker.

Abstract
Only few reports have shown protein expression of the Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) molecules on human salivary gland cells. In this study we investigate a possible upregulation of FcgammaRs following anti-Ro and anti-La autoantibodies treatment. Anti-Ro and anti-La autoantibodies were purified from IgG fractions obtained from 14 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), using Sepharose 4B-Ro and Sepharose 4B-La affinity columns. Flow cytometry and RT-PCR were used to study the FCgammaRI, FCgammaRII and FCgammaRIII receptors expression and upregulation by anti-Ro and anti-La on a salivary gland cell line. The present data document that the anti-Ro and anti-La autoantibodies determine an increase of the FcgammaRs expression on salivary gland cells, and provide evidence that both the high affinity FcgammaRI and the low affinity FcgammaRII and FcgammaRIII are overexpressed. Treatment with IgG isolated from healthy donors had no effect on the basal FCgammaRs expression.

Abstract
Ca2+ antagonists cause dry mouth by inhibiting saliva secretion. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism by which Ca2+ antagonists cause dry mouth. Since the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) is closely related to saliva secretion, [Ca2+]i was measured with a video-imaging analysis system by using human submandibular gland (HSG) cells as the material. The Ca2+ antagonist, nifedipine, inhibited the elevation in [Ca2+]i induced by 1-10 microM carbachol (CCh), but had no inhibitory effect on that induced by 30 and 100 microM CCh. The other kinds of Ca2+ antagonists, verapamil (10 microM), diltiazem (10 microM), and the inorganic Ca2+ channel blocker, CdCl2 (50 microM), also inhibited the [Ca2+]i elevation induced by 10 microM CCh. The Ca2+ channel activator, Bay K 8644 (5 microM), significantly enhanced the CCh (10 microM)-induced [Ca2+]i elevation. Endothelin-1 and norepinephrine also increased the CCh (10 microM)-induced [Ca2+]i elevation. SKF-96365 reversed the enhancement of the CCh (10 microM)-induced [Ca2+]i elevation caused by AlF4- and phenylephrine. The phospholipase Cbeta (PLCbeta) inhibitor, U-73122 (5 microM), significantly inhibited the [Ca2+]i elevation induced by 100 microM CCh compared with that induced by 10 microM CCh, while the PLCbeta activator, m-3M3FBS (20 microM), significantly increased the [Ca2+]i elevation induced by 100 microM CCh compared with that induced by 10 microM CCh. We therefore conclude that non-selective cation and voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are involved in resting salivation and that Ca2+ antagonists depress H2O secretion by blocking the Ca2+ channels and thereby cause dry mouth.

Abstract
Salivary glands (SGs) are considered exocrine glands, which mainly secrete water into the oral cavity. Nevertheless, they also exhibit a smaller endocrine secretory pathway toward the bloodstream. The concept of an artificial SG device for exocrine fluid secretion into the oral region in xerostomic patients has been previously studied. The purpose of the current study was to examine the potential of such a device for enhancing bioactive protein secretion. We engineered a plasmid encoding a SG-specific signal peptide sequence adjacent to a normally nonsecreted encoded reporter gene creating a chimera protein, and examined if this construct can enhance secretion from salivary epithelial cells. An N-terminal encoding epidermal growth factor (EGF) sequence was synthesized and inserted into a pGL3 control vector 5' of a firefly luciferase gene, creating a pGL3-EGF signal peptide (pGL3-EGFSP) fused vector. This vector was cotransfected with a pRL-CMV vector containing a Renilla luciferase gene, in 293 cells (serving as controls), and human submandibular gland ductal epithelial (HSG), rat submandibular gland acinar epithelial (SMIE), and rat submandibular gland ductal epithelial (A5) salivary cell lines. The transfected 293, SMIE, and HSG cells showed 8-, 18-, and 40-fold higher luciferase activity, respectively. These observations lead to the concept of an envisioned secretory device, which can serve as a potential biological pump for bioactive proteins.

Abstract
Activated immune cells secrete proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and Fas ligand (FasL) and these cytokines have been reported to induce apoptosis in numerous cell types. Apoptotic cell death has been associated with the progression of numerous autoimmune diseases. Proinflammatory cytokines are reportedly involved in apoptosis in the salivary glands of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS); an autoimmune disorder characterized by the destruction of salivary and lachrymal glands. In this study, we used the HSG cell line to determine if exposure to proinflammatory cytokines induces apoptosis in human salivary gland cells. In addition, we identified the mediators controlling the apoptotic process in response to TNF alpha and IFN gamma. TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma induced apoptosis in HSG cells and resulted in the activation of caspase 8 and the "death receptor" pathway. We further determined that caspase 9 and the "mitochondrial" pathway was also activated. Induction of the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in HSG cells resulted in substrate cleavage by effector caspases, in particular the cleavage of alpha II spectrin, an autoantigen in Sjögren's syndrome. Our results suggest that HSG cells provide a model system to study processes regulating proinflammatory cytokine-induced apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Prokineticins are novel peptides with reported effects on gastrointestinal contractility. Prokineticin actions are mediated by distinct prokineticin receptors (PKR1 and PKR2). This study investigated the role of prokineticin 1 in colonic contractility as well as sites of expression of its receptor in the mouse proximal colon by immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy. Prokineticin 1 suppressed giant contractions in circular muscle. The inhibitory effect of prokineticin 1 on giant contractions was blocked by the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). In vitro, prokineticin 1 stimulated nitric oxide release from longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus cultures. This effect was blocked by L-NAME. PKR1 is expressed on myenteric plexus neurons and colocalizes with a small subset of nNOS expressing neurons. This study suggests that PKR1 mediates an inhibitory effect in vitro, most likely through direct or indirect stimulation of nitric oxide release. PKR1 and its natural ligand, prokineticin 1 may be important for modulation of colonic motility.

Abstract
The effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on intracellular calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) responses to the muscarinic agonist carbachol were studied in a human salivary cell line (HSY). Carbachol (10(-4) M)-stimulated [Ca(2+)](i) mobilization was inhibited by 40% after 48-h treatment with 5 x 10(-10) M EGF. EGF also reduced carbachol-induced [Ca(2+)](i) in Ca(2+)-free medium and Ca(2+) influx following repletion of extracellular Ca(2+). Under Ca(2+)-free conditions, thapsigargin, an inhibitor of Ca(2+) uptake to internal stores, induced similar [Ca(2+)](i) signals in control and EGF-treated cells, indicating that internal Ca(2+) stores were unaffected by EGF; however, in cells exposed to thapsigargin, Ca(2+) influx following Ca(2+) repletion was reduced by EGF. Muscarinic receptor density, assessed by binding of the muscarinic receptor antagonist L-[benzilic-4,4'-(3)HCN]quinuclidinyl benzilate ([(3)H]QNB), was decreased by 20% after EGF treatment. Inhibition of the carbachol response by EGF was not altered by phorbol ester-induced downregulation of protein kinase C (PKC) but was enhanced upon PKC activation by a diacylglycerol analog. Phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) and inhibition of the carbachol response by EGF were both blocked by the MAP kinase pathway inhibitor PD-98059. The results suggest that EGF decreases carbachol-induced Ca(2+) release from internal stores and also exerts a direct inhibitory action on Ca(2+) influx. A decline in muscarinic receptor density may contribute to EGF inhibition of carbachol responsiveness. The inhibitory effect of EGF is mediated by the MAP kinase pathway and is potentiated by a distinct modulatory cascade involving activation of PKC. EGF may play a physiological role in regulating muscarinic receptor-stimulated salivary secretion.

Abstract
The effects of ATP on salivary glands have been recognized since 1982. Functional and pharmacological studies of the P2 nucleotide receptors that mediate the effects of ATP and other extracellular nucleotides have been supported by the cloning of receptor cDNAs, by the expression of the receptor proteins, and by the identification in salivary gland cells of multiple P2 receptor subtypes. Currently, there is evidence obtained from pharmacological and molecular biology approaches for the expression in salivary gland of two P2X ligand-gated ion channels, P2Z/P2X7 and P2X4, and two P2Y G protein-coupled receptors, P2Y1 and P2Y2. Activation of each of these receptor subtypes increases intracellular Ca2+, a second messenger with a key role in the regulation of salivary gland secretion. Through Ca2+ regulation and other mechanisms, P2 receptors appear to regulate salivary cell volume, ion and protein secretion, and increased permeability to small molecules that may be involved in cytotoxicity. Some localization of the various salivary P2 receptor subtypes to specific cells and membrane subdomains has been reported, along with evidence for the co-expression of multiple P2 receptor subtypes within specific salivary acinar or duct cells. However, additional studies in vivo and with intact organ preparations are required to define clearly the roles the various P2 receptor subtypes play in salivary gland physiology and pathology. Opportunities for eventual utilization of these receptors as pharmacotherapeutic targets in diseases involving salivary gland dysfunction appear promising.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this investigation was to clarify the mechanism of alkalization induced by carbachol in HSG cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cells of the HSG cell line derived from a human submandibular gland adenocarcinoma and those of the A-431 human epidermoid carcinoma cell line were loaded with a fluorescent pH indicator, BCECF/AM, and the change in the intracellular pH of adherent cells and suspended ones were measured following stimulation with various concentrations (10(-7) M to 10(-2) M) of neurotransmitters (carbachol, noradrenaline, and isoproterenol). RESULTS Isoproterenol did not cause alkalization of either cell type, whereas, noradrenaline and carbachol alkalized both types over the concentration ranges of 10(-6) M to 3 x 10(-3) M (HSG cell by noradrenaline), 10(-7) M to 2 x 10(-4) M (A-431 cell by noradrenaline), and 7 x 10(-5) M to 10(-4) M (A-431 cell by carbachol). On the other hand, alkalization induced by carbachol in the HSG cells was recognized at concentrations higher than 6 x 10(-5) M, and it showed no upper limit in terms of carbachol concentration. This high-dose carbachol alkalization was not eliminated by preincubation with nifedipine (100 microM), a Ca2+ channel blocker, or with thapsigargin (100 microM), a microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase inhibitor. CONCLUSIONS The alkalization system induced by carbachol in the HSG cell was quite different from that in the A-431 cell, and that induced by high-dose carbachol in HSG cells appeared to be independent of intracellular Ca2+. These findings will be useful to clarify the mechanism of salivary secretion stimulated by neurotransmitters.

Abstract
1. Movements of the gastrointestinal tract are required for the digestion of food and the expulsion of waste products. 2. The present paper will discuss the nature of electrical rhythms underlying some intestinal motility patterns. 3. The rhythms are generated by pacemakers with cycle rates appropriate to controlling individual contractions, motor patternings or switching between different motor programmes. 4. Electrical rhythms are discussed with periods of the order of seconds, minutes and hours. 5. Particular discussion is centred on rhythms recorded from the small and large intestine of the mouse.

Abstract
This study examines the Ca2+ influx-dependent regulation of the Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCa) in human submandibular gland (HSG) cells. Carbachol (CCh) induced sustained increases in the KCa current and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), which were prevented by loading cells with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N', N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA). Removal of extracellular Ca2+ and addition of La3+ or Gd3+, but not Zn2+, inhibited the increases in KCa current and [Ca2+]i. Ca2+ influx during refill (i.e., addition of Ca2+ to cells treated with CCh and then atropine in Ca2+-free medium) failed to evoke increases in the KCa current but achieved internal Ca2+ store refill. When refill was prevented by thapsigargin, Ca2+ readdition induced rapid activation of KCa. These data provide further evidence that intracellular Ca2+ accumulation provides tight buffering of [Ca2+]i at the site of Ca2+ influx (H. Mogami, K. Nakano, A. V. Tepikin, and O. H. Petersen. Cell 88: 49-55, 1997). We suggest that the Ca2+ influx-dependent regulation of the sustained KCa current in CCh-stimulated HSG cells is mediated by the uptake of Ca2+ into the internal Ca2+ store and release via the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-sensitive channel.

Abstract
Here we report on the feasibility of using replication deficient adenoviruses to modify signal transduction systems in epithelia. We constructed two viruses, one expressing a dominant negative mutant of the alpha-subunit of Gq (Ad-EF1-dnG alpha q) and the other expressing the wild-type alpha-subunit of Gq (Ad-EF1-wtG alpha q). We used an adenovirus expressing green fluorescent protein (Ad-EF1-GFP20) to show that infection of cultured cells with an adenovirus results in at least 95% expression of the transgene in both HSG and HT29 cells. We also used an adenovirus that expresses no transgene (Ad-MX17) to demonstrate that adenoviral infection itself does not affect the resting concentration of cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) or the carbachol responses in these cells. We further show that Ad-EF1-dnG alpha q inhibits the increase in [Ca2+]i produced by muscarinic receptor activation in both the cell lines we studied. This inhibitory effect is not shared by Ad-EF1-wtG alpha q, which indicates that in both HSG and HT29 cells, the increase in [Ca2+]i produced by muscarinic receptor activation is largely mediated by activation of Gq. Neither virus affected the resting level of [Ca2+]i in these cells. Our findings confirm the feasibility of using replication deficient adenoviruses expressing dominant negative mutants to investigate the role of G proteins in signal transduction systems.

Abstract
We demonstrate that the application of the muscarinic agonist carbachol to the human salivary epithelial cell line HSG elicits the now well-known phenomenon of 'quantal' Ca2+ release; namely, that the application of a submaximal concentration of agonist results in the release of only a portion of the agonist-sensitive intracellular Ca2+ pool. One explanation that has been proposed to account for this effect is that there are multiple intracellular Ca2+ stores, each with a different agonist sensitivity, which release Ca2+ in an 'all-or-none' fashion. We test this hypothesis in intact HSG cells with an experimental protocol designed to preferentially load less-agonist-sensitive stores with 40Ca2+ and more-agonist-sensitive stores with 45Ca2+. However, contrary to the expectations of the above explanation, these cells do not preferentially release 45Ca2+ in response to low concentrations of agonist. Thus our data suggest that quantal Ca2+ release must arise from some other property of the stores or their Ca2+ release channels.

Abstract
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a product of activated T-lymphocytes, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a product of both lymphocytes and macrophages. These cell types are often present at sites of tissue damage secondary to chronic infection or autoimmune disease. The purpose of this study was to characterize the effects of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma on a human submandibular gland epithelial cell line (HSG). IFN-gamma caused a concentration-dependent decrease in HSG cell growth (approximately 70% in 6 days). Conversely, TNF-alpha alone had little effect on the growth of these cells. When these cytokines were added in combination (20 units/ml TNF-alpha and 1,000 units/ml of IFN-gamma), there was a synergistic antiproliferative effect; no apparent cell growth was observed. The cytokine-induced antiproliferative effect was reversible. After the apparent cessation of cell growth for 3-6 days, removal of the cytokines permitted complete growth recovery. Further, cells that recovered and exhibited growth patterns that were similar to control cells remained susceptible to the antiproliferative effects of the cytokines. Flow cytometry revealed that the percentage of cells in G0/G1 with the combination of cytokines was significantly increased by 24 h. The antiproliferative effect of IFN-gamma alone and that of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha in combination were blocked completely using an antibody to the IFN-gamma receptor. A hypothesized mechanism of tissue damage in autoimmune inflammatory disorders is via up-regulation of cell surface markers such as intercellular adhesion molecule type I (ICAM-1) and histocompatibility antigen HLA-DR which can exacerbate the inflammatory process. Treatment of HSG cells with IFN-gamma, with or without TNF-alpha, resulted in increased levels of ICAM-1 and the acquisition of HLA-DR expression. These aggregate data suggest that IFN-gamma alone can regulate the expression of cell surface markers involved in the inflammatory process as well as cause a potent yet reversible inhibition of HSG cell growth that is modulated by the presence of TNF-alpha.

Abstract
We have used the single-channel patch-clamp technique to study ion channels in the plasma membrane of the HSG human submandibular gland duct cell line. In cell-attached and excised inside-out patches, at least six channel types were observed. When the pipette contained an isotonic KCl-rich solution and the bath an isotonic NaCl-rich solution, the predominant channel type seen in excised inside-out patches was a Cl- channel with an outwardly rectifying current/voltage (I/V) relation that had a conductance of 12 pS at positive pipette potentials and 43 pS at negative pipette potentials. The channel was only seen in excised patches and its open probability was not significantly increased by membrane depolarization. The channel selectivity sequence (relative to Cl-) was estimated from reversal potential measurements to be: SCN- (1.8) > NO3- (1.4) > I- (1.1) approximately Cl- (1) approximately Br- (0.8) > acetate (0.35). In inside-out patches the channel was blocked by addition of 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoate (NPPB) (100 mumol/l) to the bath but not by 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (9-AC) (100 mumol/l). The channel was not activated by increases in the free Ca2+ concentration on the cytosolic surface. This is the first report of an outwardly rectifying Cl- channel in a salivary epithelium. The properties of this channel are not in accordance with the properties of the Cl- conductances in the acinar or duct tissues which have been studied so far and its physiological role is unclear.

Abstract
Whole cell currents were measured in HSG-PA cells (a proposed model for salivary gland duct cells) after muscarinic receptor activation or exposure to known signaling agents. Exposure to carbachol or oxotremorine M produced large and often oscillatory increases in outward current whose reversal potentials indicated a K current. The current was sensitive to extracellular atropine, charybdotoxin, and quinine, but not apamin, and to 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid in the pipette. The response was prolonged or increased by guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) and mimicked by D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) or heparin in the pipette and by extracellular Ca ionophores. Tetraethylammonium indirectly inhibited the response via the muscarinic receptor. Fura 2 in cell suspensions showed that muscarinic agonists increased cytosolic Ca ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) five- to sevenfold, and measurements with indo 1 in individual cells showed that the oscillatory changes in outward current were tightly correlated with parallel changes in [Ca2+]i. The results indicate that muscarinic receptor stimulation of HSG-PA cells activates Ca(2+)-activated K channels through a signaling pathway involving a G protein, IP3 production, and increased [Ca2+]i levels. These findings are similar to those in salivary gland acinar cells.

Abstract
The secretions of the salivary gland system are essential for the maintenance of oral health. The nature of cell-specific secretions of the various glands and their regulation is not completely understood. The objective of this study was to establish epithelial cell cultures from the human parotid gland that exhibit the tissue-specific function of alpha-amylase secretion. A specimen of normal human parotid gland was obtained at surgery and used to obtain primary cultures by the explant/outgrowth procedure. The cultures were maintained in keratinocyte basal medium, supplemented with insulin (5 micrograms/ml), EGF (10 ng/ml), hydrocortisone (0.5 micrograms/ml), bovine pituitary extract (25 micrograms/ml), and antibiotics. The cultures were passaged using 0.125% trypsin to dissociate the cells. Phase contrast and ultrastructural observations showed that the cells were polygonal and exhibited desmosomes. Their cytoplasm contained tonofilament bundles and abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complexes. Immunofluorescence studies showed that all cells were positive for cytokeratins. Immunoblot analysis revealed keratins with molecular weights of 58, 56, 52, 50, 48, 46, and 40 KD, which are characteristic of secretory epithelia. The cells have been passaged 35 times so far, undergoing a cumulative 120-140 population doublings. The serially passaged epithelial cell cultures produced and secreted alpha-amylase, a major component of parotid gland acinar cell secretion. The beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol (ISP), stimulated alpha-amylase secretion, which was accompanied by increased intracellular concentrations of cAMP. ISP-induced stimulation of amylase and cAMP was blocked by the beta-adrenergic antagonist, propranolol. Further, dibutyryl cAMP also enhanced the secretion of amylase. Thus we have established a long-term epithelial cell culture model of human parotid gland epithelial cells that exhibits differentiated function and retains the intact beta-adrenergic receptor system.

Abstract
GTP-binding proteins were identified in rat parotid acinar plasma-enriched membranes (PM) by immunoblot analysis and localized immunohistochemically in the parotid gland as well as in other exocrine glands by using affinity-purified antisera specific for alpha subunits of the G proteins. Isolated rat parotid acinar PM immunoreacted strongly to antisera directed against Gs alpha, Gi alpha 1/alpha 2, Gi alpha 3, and Go alpha; the signal for Go alpha, however, was weak with crude Go antisera. Immunohistochemical studies to identify and localize Go in rat parotid tissue revealed that antisera to Go alpha immunoreacted with ductal cells. In addition, strong immunoreactivity to Go alpha antisera was noted in ductal cells of other salivary glands including rat submandibular, mouse parotid, and mouse submandibular glands. Light labeling of rat parotid and submandibular gland acinar cells was also noted. In contrast, in the rat and mouse pancreas, Go antisera immunoreacted primarily with islet cells. Ductal cells were negative, but there was light labeling of rat pancreatic acinar cells. The apparent ductal specificity of Go alpha staining was further verified by demonstrating that Go alpha antisera immunoreacted strongly with HSG-PA cells, a human transformed salivary ductal cell line. The results demonstrate that rat parotid acinar plasma membranes express a number of G proteins including Go and that Go appears to be selectively expressed in the ductal cells of rat parotid gland and other salivary glands. The selective enrichment of Go in ductal cells suggests that this G protein may play an important role in ductal cell physiology.

Abstract
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 conditioned 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.

Abstract
The HSG-PA human submandibular gland adenocarcinoma cell line has attracted attention recently as a potentially useful cell culture model for studies of salivary duct cell function and regulation. These cells possess a variety of morphological and biochemical markers found in salivary duct cells. Recently, muscarinic cholinergic receptors coupled to inositol intracellular Ca2+ mobilization (He et al., Eur. J. Physiol., 413 (1989) 505-510) and K+ fluxes (Ship et al., Am. J. Physiol., 259 (1990) C340-C348) have been identified in HSG-PA cells. In this study, we report the presence in these cells of functional receptors for two neuropeptides, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and neurotensin. Receptors for both peptides were labeled in intact cell radioligand binding studies and exhibited pharmacological profiles similar to receptors found in other tissues. There was close agreement between binding Ki values and the ED50 values for stimulation of second messenger production and modulation of K+ efflux, with all values between 1 and 5 nM. Whereas neurotensin stimulated K+ efflux dramatically, VIP alone had no effect but enhanced the response to neurotensin. These studies thus represent the initial documentation of functional receptors for VIP and neurotensin in a cell line of salivary duct cell origin.

Abstract
Salivary electrolyte secretion is under the control of the autonomic nervous system. In this paper we report that HSY, an epithelial cell line derived from the acinar-intercalated duct region of the human parotid gland, responds to muscarinic-cholinergic (generation of Ca2+ signal) and beta-adrenergic (generation of cAMP signal), but not to alpha-adrenergic (lack of Ca2+ signal), receptor stimulation. The muscarinic response was studied in detail. Carbachol (10(-4) M, muscarinic agonist) or A23187 (5 microM, calcium ionophore) stimulation of HSY cells increases both 86Rb (K+) influx and efflux, resulting in no change in net equilibrium 86Rb content. Atropine (10(-5) M, muscarinic antagonist) blocks both the carbachol-generated Ca2+ signal and carbachol-stimulated 86Rb fluxes, but has no effect on either the A23187-generated Ca2+ signal or A23187-stimulated 86Rb fluxes. Carbachol- and A23187-stimulated 86Rb fluxes are substantially inhibited by two K+ channel blockers, quinine (0.3 mM) and scorpion venom containing charybdotoxin (33 micrograms/ml). The inhibition of these stimulated fluxes by another K+ channel blocker, tetraethylammonium chloride (5 mM), is less pronounced. Protein kinase C (PKC) seems to be involved in the regulation of the 86Rb fluxes as 10(-7) M PMA (phorbol ester, phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate) substantially inhibits the muscarinic-stimulated 86Rb efflux and influx. Because this concentration of PMA totally inhibits the carbachol-generated Ca2+ signal and only 80% of the muscarinic-stimulated 86Rb influx, it seems that a portion of the carbachol-stimulated 86Rb flux (i.e. that portion not inhibited by PMA) might occur independently of the Ca2+ signal. PMA fails to inhibit the A23187-stimulated 86Rb fluxes, however, suggesting that PKC regulates Ca(2+)-sensitive K+ channel activity by regulating the Ca2+ signal, and not steps distal to this event. 4-alpha-Phorbol-12,13-didecanoate, a phorbol ester which fails to activate PKC, fails to inhibit either the carbachol-stimulated increase in intracellular free Ca2+, or carbachol-stimulated 86Rb fluxes.

Abstract
Treatment of a human salivary epithelial cell line, HSG-PA, with the calmodulin antagonist N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (W7; 20-70 microM) increased 86Rb (K+) influx and efflux in a manner similar to that resulting from muscarinic (carbachol; Cch) or calcium ionophore (A23187) stimulation. Unlike the Cch or A23187 responses, the W7 responses were not blocked by 0.1 mM atropine (muscarinic antagonist) or phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (0.1 microM). Like Cch- or A23187-stimulated 86Rb fluxes, W7-stimulated 86Rb fluxes were substantially blocked by the K+ channel inhibitors quinine (0.25 mM) and scorpion venom-containing charybdotoxin (33 micrograms/mL), while 5 mM tetraethylammonium chloride (K+ channel blocker), furosemide (0.1 mM; Na+,K+,2Cl- co-transport inhibitor) and ouabain (10 microM; Na+,K(+)-ATPase inhibitor) were ineffective. Purified charybdotoxin (10 nM) also blocked W7-stimulated 86Rb influx, as well as 86Rb influx stimulated by Cch or A23187. Although Quin 2 fluorescence measurements indicated that W7 increased free intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), the magnitude of the increase appeared to be insufficient to solely account for the W7-stimulated increases in 86Rb fluxes (i.e. K+ channel activity). Ca2+ was involved in the W7 response, however, as lack of Ca2+ in the incubation medium reduced the W7-stimulated increases in 86Rb influx and efflux. Taken together, our results suggest that W7 increased K+ fluxes in HSG-PA cells by interacting, directly or indirectly, with the K+ transport machinery (K+ channels) in a manner different from that observed during muscarinic stimulation, and also in a manner not accounted for solely by the formation of a typical muscarinic- or calcium ionophore-generated calcium signal.

Abstract
Results of previous studies suggest that the transport of K+ by salivary ducts is under muscarinic control. The mechanisms by which this regulation occurs have not been well defined, however. In this paper, we describe mechanisms involved in the muscarinic regulation of K+ (86Rb) transport in HSG-PA, an epithelial cell line derived from human submandibular gland duct. Stimulation of HSG-PA cells by carbachol, a muscarinic agonist, increases both 86Rb influx and efflux, which results in a decrease in the equilibrium content of 86Rb within the cells. Increases in both fluxes are dose dependent with respect to carbachol concentration, and both responses can be blocked by atropine, a muscarinic antagonist. The carbachol-stimulated 86Rb fluxes appear to be calcium dependent since 1) the calcium ionophore A23187 increases 86Rb fluxes in these cells, 2) cells loaded with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA; a calcium chelator) exhibit a reduced ability to respond to carbachol stimulation, and 3) removal of extracellular calcium concentration reduces the carbachol-stimulated effects. Treatment of HSG-PA cells with 10(-7) M phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) partially blocks the carbachol-stimulated changes in 86Rb fluxes, suggesting that protein kinase C plays a role in this response. PMA also partially blocks A23187-stimulated 86Rb influx, suggesting that activation of protein kinase C inhibits muscarinic-stimulated K+ influx by blocking either the Ca2+ signal (X. He, X. Wu, and B.J. Baum. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 152: 1062-1069, 1988), steps subsequent to this effect, or both.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The intracellular free calcium concentration [Ca2+]i of rat medullary collecting tubules was calculated from microscope fluorescence measurements in single pieces of fura-2-loaded tubules superfused at 37 degrees C. When carbachol (10(-4)-10(-3) M) was added in the superfusate, a biphasic increase in [Ca2+]i was generally obtained, which included an early peak phase and a sustained plateau thereafter; sometimes, the peak phase was not apparent; the plateau was maintained as long as the agonist was applied. Several responses could be induced successively without a fall in responsiveness. From dose/response curves, K1/2 values of about 10(-5) M for carbachol and 10(-6) M for acetylcholine were obtained. The effects of the agonists were suppressed with 10(-4) M of atropine or pirenzepine, indicating the presence of muscarinic receptors of the M1 type. In the absence of external calcium, the peak phase of the response was preserved while the plateau phase was suppressed; thus, the peak involves the release of calcium stored in organelles, whereas the plateau involves the entry of external calcium through calcium channels which were voltage independent and insensitive to the usual calcium blockers.

Abstract
We have investigated muscarinic receptor-operated Ca2+ mobilization in a salivary epithelial cell line. HSG-PA, using an experimental approach which allows independent evaluation of intracellular Ca2+ release and extracellular Ca2+ entry. The carbachol (Cch) dose response of intracellular Ca2+ release indicates the involvement of a single, relatively low-affinity, muscarinic receptor site (K0.5 approximately equal to 10 or 30 microM, depending on the method for [Ca2+]i determination). However, similar data for Ca2+ entry indicate the involvement of two Cch sites, one consistent with that associated with Ca2+ release and a second higher affinity site with K0.5 less than or equal to 2.5 microM. In addition, the Ca2+ entry response observed at lower concentrations of Cch (2.5 microM) was completely inhibited by membrane depolarization induced with high K+ (greater than 55 mM) or gramicidin D (1 microM), while membrane depolarization had little or no effect on Ca2+ entry induced by 100 microM Cch. Another muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine-M (100 microM; Oxo-M), like Cch, also induced an increase in the [Ca2+]i of HSG-PA cells (from 72 +/- 2 to 104 +/- 5 nM). This response was profoundly blocked (approximately 75%) by the inorganic Ca2+ channel blocker La3+ (25-50 microM) suggesting that Oxo-M primarily mobilizes Ca2+ in these cells by increasing Ca2+ entry. Organic Ca2+ channel blockers (verapamil or diltiazem at 10 microM, nifedipine at 1 microM), had no effect on this response. The Oxo-M induced Ca2+ mobilization response, like that observed at lower doses of Cch, was markedly inhibited (approximately 70-90%) by membrane depolarization (high K+ or gramicidin D).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have investigated the effect of W-7, a calmodulin (CaM) antagonist, on Ca2+ mobilization in a human salivary epithelial cell line, HSG-PA, after muscarinic receptor stimulation. In a medium containing 1.5 mmol/l Ca2+, W-7 reduced both the maximum peak increase in cytosolic Ca2+ [( Ca2+]i) which follows stimulation by carbachol (Cch, 100 mumol/l) and the sustained nature of the response. Using an experimental approach which allows separate visualization of the intracellular Ca2+ release and extracellular Ca2+ entry phases, W-7 was shown preferentially to inhibit Ca2+ release. At 100 mumol/l W-7, Cch-induced Ca2+ release was completely inhibited, but Cch-induced Ca2+ entry was partially (approximately 40%) maintained. This W-7 residual Ca2+ entry response was abolished when cells were depolarized with high K+ or gramicidin D. W-7 also substantially inhibited Cch-induced inositol trisphosphate (IP3) production (approximately 5%). W-5, a less potent CaM antagonist than W-7, had markedly smaller effects on Cch-induced Ca2+ mobilization and IP3 formation. W-7 (100 mumol/l) completely blocked (comparable to 10 mumol/l atropine) the binding of the muscarinic antagonist [3H] quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) to muscarinic receptors on cell membranes, whereas Cch (at 100 mumol/l) had minimal effects on ligand binding. W-7 and W-5 were equipotent in their ability to inhibit [3H] QNB binding. These results suggest that W-7 reduces Ca2+ mobilization in HSG-PA cells by a mechanism which likely involves the antagonism of a CaM regulatory step(s) but may also involve at least a partial blockade of the muscarinic receptor.

Abstract
Salivary epithelial functions are regulated by the autonomic nervous system. In this regard, we have been studying the morphology and neuroreceptor composition of A253, an immortal cell line isolated from a human submandibular carcinoma (Giard et al., JNCI, 51:1417-1421, 1973). Phase contrast and electron microscopic observations indicate that A253 cells are of epithelial origin. Physiologically, A253 cells possess beta-adrenergic, but not alpha-adrenergic or muscarinic-cholinergic receptors. The beta-adrenergic receptors (BARs) are composed primarily of a single class of high affinity, beta 2-subtype receptors as judged by [3H]dihydroalprenolol antagonist binding studies. The BARs are functional inasmuch as isoproterenol stimulation increases both intracellular cAMP content and [3H]mannose incorporation into endogeneous glycoproteins. Differences in ultrastructure and neuroreceptor composition between A253 and other immortal salivary tumor cell lines are discussed.
