Abstract
The importance of the microbiome in health and its disruption in disease is continuing to be elucidated. However, the multitude of host and environmental factors that influence the microbiome are still largely unknown. Here, we examined UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 3 (Galnt3)-deficient mice, which serve as a model for the disease hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC). In HFTC, loss of GALNT3 activity in the bone is thought to lead to altered glycosylation of the phosphate-regulating hormone fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), resulting in hyperphosphatemia and subdermal calcified tumors. However, GALNT3 is expressed in other tissues in addition to bone, suggesting that systemic loss could result in other pathologies. Using semiquantitative real-time PCR, we found that Galnt3 is the major O-glycosyltransferase expressed in the secretory cells of salivary glands. Additionally, 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed that the loss of Galnt3 resulted in changes in the structure, composition, and stability of the oral microbiome. Moreover, we identified the major secreted salivary mucin, Muc10, as an in vivo substrate of Galnt3. Given that mucins and their O-glycans are known to interact with various microbes, our results suggest that loss of Galnt3 decreases glycosylation of Muc10, which alters the composition and stability of the oral microbiome. Considering that oral findings have been documented in HFTC patients, our study suggests that investigating GALNT3-mediated changes in the oral microbiome may be warranted.

Abstract
Saliva functions in innate immunity of the oral cavity, protecting against demineralization of teeth (i.e. dental caries), a highly prevalent infectious disease associated with Streptococcus mutans, a pathogen also linked to endocarditis and atheromatous plaques. Gel-forming mucins are a major constituent of saliva. Because Muc19 is the dominant salivary gel-forming mucin in mice, we studied Muc19(-/-) mice for changes in innate immune functions of saliva in interactions with S. mutans. When challenged with S. mutans and a cariogenic diet, total smooth and sulcal surface lesions are more than 2- and 1.6-fold higher in Muc19(-/-) mice compared with wild type, whereas the severity of lesions are up to 6- and 10-fold higher, respectively. Furthermore, the oral microbiota of Muc19(-/-) mice display higher levels of indigenous streptococci. Results emphasize the importance of a single salivary constituent in the innate immune functions of saliva. In vitro studies of S. mutans and Muc19 interactions (i.e. adherence, aggregation, and biofilm formation) demonstrate Muc19 poorly aggregates S. mutans. Nonetheless, aggregation is enhanced upon adding Muc19 to saliva from Muc19(-/-) mice, indicating Muc19 assists in bacterial clearance through formation of heterotypic complexes with salivary constituents that bind S. mutans, thus representing a novel innate immune function for salivary gel-forming mucins. In humans, expression of salivary MUC19 is unclear. We find MUC19 transcripts in salivary glands of seven subjects and demonstrate MUC19 glycoproteins in glandular mucous cells and saliva. Similarities and differences between mice and humans in the expression and functions of salivary gel-forming mucins are discussed.

Abstract
The submandibular salivary gland of mice contains a parenchymal element, the granular duct, which matures peripubertally from the striated ducts. Granular duct cells also differentiate from intercalated ducts in the adult mouse submandibular gland. Using preproNGF-A as a signature protein of mature granular duct cells, this study inquired if phenotypic determination might have occurred earlier than the first signs of cellular differentiation. Results from RT-PCR indicate the presence of preproNGF-A transcripts at all postnatal stages of development of the submandibular glands, as well as in adult sublingual glands. The preproNGF-A transcript was also detected prenatally as early as embryonic day 17 in the submandibular/sublingual complex. Using an antibody directed specifically against the "pre" peptide, immunocytochemistry showed preproNGF-A localized in the granular ducts and striated ducts of the adult submandibular gland. In addition preproNGF-A was detected throughout the first order branches of the intercalated duct system. In the neonatal gland, preproNGF-A was found in the large tubules that differentiate to the striated ducts. The early appearance of preproNGF-A in the histological lineage that sequentially gives rise to striated ducts and then to granular ducts suggests that this lineage is phenotypically determined as early as birth. An undifferentiated stage of the phenotypically determined lineage also appears to be retained in the intercalated duct system to provide progenitors for subsequent differentiation in the adult gland. Throughout development of the sublingual gland, preproNGF-A was detectable in the striated ducts or in their predecessors, suggesting that they may also represent a phenotypically determined cell lineage similar to that of the submandibular gland.

Abstract
A cDNA clone derived from mouse sublingual gland was isolated from lambda-phage cDNA library. Northern blot hybridization indicated that the transcript from which it was derived was approx. 700 nucleotides in length. This mRNA encoded a protein of about 20 kDa, as determined by hybrid selection and cell-free translation. Conceptual translation of the cDNA clones showed that p20 is 170 amino acids in length. The putative protein is hydrophobic in nature, is neither a mucin-like protein nor does its amino acid sequence or composition resemble the other known mouse proteins. However, the amino acid sequence of p20 suggests that it may be from a gene or gene family homologous to rat common salivary protein 1. The p20 mRNA also appears to share a non-random degree of sequence homology with the cysteine-rich domains of bovine and porcine submandibular mucins. The p20 mRNA is abundant in the mouse sublingual gland, and its expression is approx. nine times greater than in the parotid gland. In situ hybridizations localized the p20 mRNA exclusively in the demilune cells of the sublingual gland and in the intercalated duct cells of the parotid gland. It is detectable in the neonatal and adult submandibular gland at very low levels, but is absent from liver, heart, brain, thymus, spleen, lens and lacrimal glands.

Abstract
There may be deleterious effects if there is an age-dependent reduction in mucin composition or content in salivary glands. To assess whether there was an effect of age in submandibular glands from male mice aged 3 months, 10 and 20 months and 27, 29 and 30 months, mucin, protein and sialic acid were quantitated. Changes in wet weight per gland and protein per gland were highly significant (p less than 0.001), as tested by analysis of variance, and the means for both were highest in middle aged glands. While sialic acid per gland showed no significant change from middle aged to old glands, mucin per gland showed an age-related decrease (p less than 0.01) when comparing either young or middle aged glands with old glands.

Abstract
The appearance of an acinar-cell-specific mucin was studied during fetal mouse submandibular gland development. The mucin was first detected in stage 23 and was quantitated through birth by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Quantitation results showed that the mucin accumulation was biphasic. Results from Western blotting and radioimmunoassay indicated that the mucin from the prenatal glands was similar both antigenically and in size to the mucin isolated from adult mice. Observations from light microscopy revealed a continuing progression of complexity throughout prenatal development, indicative of morphogenesis characteristic of differentiating exocrine tissues. When sections from various stages were compared morphometrically, it became clear that the overall ratio of epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells increased nearly 6-fold throughout the prenatal stages observed. The study suggests that acinar cell development in the mouse submandibular gland passes through a protodifferentiated stage. The proportions of epithelial and mesenchymal cells in the submandibular gland and the sensitivity of the RIA indicate that the mucin per cell actually increased to detectable levels at the onset of protodifferentiation, and this increase does not reflect a change in the relative proportions of epithelial and mesenchymal cells.

Abstract
In this study, antiserum to acinar cell-specific mucin was utilized to determine whether mucin could be detected in the mouse submandibular gland prior to cytodifferentiation of acinar cells. Results from radioimmunoassay indicated that mucin occurs in submandibular glands from newborn mice, i.e., before the appearance of mature acinar cells. Additionally, mucin quantitated in various stages of development was found to be antigenically identical to adult mucin. After sections of glands were treated with immunohistochemical reagents, we observed that the mature acinar cell-specific mucin was present in secretory terminal-tubule cells and in proacinar cells of newborn animals. The present findings suggest that in young animals, the proacinar cells are an immediate precursor of acinar cells and that the secretory terminal-tubule cells may represent an earlier stage in development of acinar cells. In adult female glands, mucin was also detected in the granular intercalating-duct cells. This latter observation is consistent with the hypothesis that these cells are an intermediate in the acinar cell replacement process.

Abstract
The validity of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the predominant sialomucin from female mouse submandibular glands was confirmed by immunological and non-immunological approaches. The maximum sensitivity was in the low nanogramme range. The RIA did not cross-react with parotid, sublingual, trachea, stomach or colon tissues, but showed incomplete cross-reactivity with duodenal tissue. An analysis of protein, sialic acid and mucin contents of submandibular glands obtained during diurnal samplings, indicated that mean sialic acid and mucin concentrations, relative to protein in sample groups, decreased overnight approx. 30 per cent and showed a net increase during the day. Sialic acid per gland showed a 3-fold variation among individuals in the population; mucin showed greater than 20-fold variation. An analysis of variation indicated that influence by time of day was the greatest factor affecting sialic-acid concentrations and was statistically significant but, variation in mucin concentration was not. Variation between individuals accounted for more than 90 per cent of the total population variation in mucin concentrations and in sialic acid to mucin ratios. Regression analyses of the sialic acid to mucin ratios at different times of day suggested that the rates of replenishment of sialic acid and mucin may be co-ordinated.

Abstract
Mouse salivary glands and pancreases were stained with a battery of ten horseradish peroxidase-conjugated lectins. Lectin staining revealed striking differences in the structure of oligosaccharides of stored intracellular secretory glycoproteins and glycoconjugates associated with the surface of epithelial cells lining excretory ducts. The percentage of acinar cells containing terminal alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine residues varied greatly in submandibular glands of 30 male mice, but all submandibular acinar cells contained oligosaccharides with terminal sialic acid and penultimate beta-galactose residues. The last named dimer was abundant in secretory glycoprotein of all mucous acinar cells in murine sublingual glands and an additional 20-50% of these cells in all glands contained terminal N-acetylglucosamine residues. In contrast, terminal alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine was abundant in sublingual serous demilune secretions. Serous acinar cells in the exorbital lacrimal gland, posterior lingual gland, parotid gland and pancreas exhibited a staining pattern unique to each organ. In contrast, the apical cytoplasm and surface of striated duct epithelial cells in the submandibular, sublingual, parotid and exorbital lacrimal gland stained similarly. A comparison of staining with conjugated lectins reported biochemically to have very similar carbohydrate binding specificity has revealed some remarkable differences in their reactivity, suggesting different binding specificity for the same terminal sugars having different glycosidic linkages or with different penultimate sugar residues.
