Abstract
Blood flow in the gingiva, comprising the interdental papilla as well as attached and marginal gingiva, is important for maintaining of gingival function and is modulated by risk factors such as stress that may lead to periodontal disease. Marked blood flow changes mediated by the autonomic (parasympathetic and sympathetic) nervous system may be essential for gingival hemodynamics. However, differences in autonomic vasomotor responses and their functional significance in different parts of the gingiva are unclear. We examined the differences in autonomic vasomotor responses and their interactions in the gingiva of anesthetized rats. Parasympathetic vasodilation evoked by the trigeminal (lingual nerve)-mediated reflex elicited frequency-dependent blood flow increases in gingivae, with the increases being greatest in the interdental papilla. Parasympathetic blood flow increases were significantly reduced by intravenous administration of the atropine and VIP antagonist. The blood flow increase evoked by acetylcholine administration was higher in the interdental papilla than in the attached gingiva, whereas that evoked by VIP agonist administration was greater in the attached gingiva than in the interdental papilla. Activation of the cervical sympathetic nerves decreased gingival blood flow and inhibited parasympathetically induced blood flow increases. Our results suggest that trigeminal-parasympathetic reflex vasodilation 1) is more involved in the regulation of blood flow in the interdental papilla than in the other parts of the gingiva, 2) is mediated by cholinergic (interdental papilla) and VIPergic systems (attached gingiva), and 3) is inhibited by excess sympathetic activity. These results suggest a role in the etiology of periodontal diseases during mental stress.

Differences in the regulatory mechanism of blood flow in the orofacial area mediated by neural and humoral systems. J Comp Physiol B 2023; 193:109-124. [PMID: 36436073 DOI: 10.1007/s00360-022-01470-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Marked blood flow (BF) changes mediated by the autonomic neural and humoral systems may be important for orofacial hemodynamics and functions. However, it remains questionable whether differences in the autonomic vasomotor responses mediated by neural and humoral systems exist in the orofacial area. This study examined whether there are differences in changes in the BF and vascular conductance (VC) between the masseter muscle and lower lip mediated by autonomic neural and humoral systems in urethane-anesthetized rats. Electrical stimulation of the central cut end of the lingual nerve elicited BF increases in the masseter (mainly cholinergic) and lower lip (mainly non-cholinergic), accompanied by an increase in arterial blood pressure (ABP), while cervical sympathetic trunk stimulation consistently decreased BF at both sites. The lingual nerve stimulation induced a biphasic change in the VC in the masseter, consisting of an initial decrease and a successive increase. This decrease in VC was positively correlated with changes in ABP and diminished by guanethidine. Cervical vagus nerve stimulation also induced BF increases at both sites; the increases were greater in the masseter than in the lower lip. Adrenal nerve stimulation and isoproterenol administration induced BF increases in the masseter but not in the lower lip. These results indicate that cholinergic parasympathetic-mediated hemodynamics evoked by trigeminal somatosensory inputs are closely related to ABP changes. The sympathetic nervous system, including the sympathoadrenal system and visceral inputs, may be more involved in hemodynamics in the muscles than in epithelial tissues in the orofacial area.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle hemodynamics, including that in jaw muscles, is an important in their functions and is modulated by aging. Marked blood flow increases mediated by parasympathetic vasodilation may be important for blood flow in the masseter muscle (MBF); however, the relationship between parasympathetic vasodilation and aging is unclear. We examined the effect of aging on parasympathetic vasodilation evoked by trigeminal afferent inputs and their mechanisms by investigating the MBF during stimulation of the lingual nerve (LN) in young and old urethane-anesthetized and vago-sympathectomized rats. Electrical stimulation of the central cut end of the LN elicited intensity- and frequency-dependent increases in MBF in young rats, while these increases were significantly reduced in old rats. Increases in the MBF evoked by LN stimulation in the young rats were greatly reduced by hexamethonium and atropine administration. Increases in MBF in young rats were produced by exogenous acetylcholine in a dose-dependent manner, whereas acetylcholine did not influence the MBF in old rats. Significant levels of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor type 1 (MR1) and type 3 (MR3) mRNA were observed in the masseter muscle in young rats, but not in old rats. Our results indicate that cholinergic parasympathetic reflex vasodilation evoked by trigeminal afferent inputs to the masseter muscle is reduced by aging and that this reduction may be mediated by suppression of the expression of MR1 and MR3 in the masseter muscle with age.

Abstract
The skin temperature (Tm) of the orofacial area influences orofacial functions and is related to the blood flow (BF). Marked increases in BF mediated by parasympathetic vasodilation may be important for orofacial Tm regulation. Therefore, we examined the relationship between parasympathetic reflex vasodilation and orofacial Tm in anesthetized rats. Electrical stimulation of the central cut end of the lingual nerve (LN) elicited significant increases in BF and Tm in the lower lip. These increases were significantly reduced by hexamethonium, but not atropine. VIP agonist increased both BF and Tm in the lower lip. The activation of the superior cervical sympathetic trunk (CST) decreased BF and Tm in the lower lip; however, these decreases were significantly inhibited by LN stimulation. Our results suggest that parasympathetic vasodilation plays an important role in the maintaining the hemodynamics and Tm in the orofacial area, and that VIP may be involved in this response.

[PMID: 29197114 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.22366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2017] [Accepted: 11/06/2017] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The current investigation was aimed to explore the potential associations of SNPs within ADRB2, ADRB1, NPY, and ADRA1A with risk and prognosis of cervical vertigo. METHODS Altogether 216 patients with cervical vertigo and 204 healthy controls were gathered, and their DNAs were extracted utilizing the whole-blood DNA extraction kit. Besides, the PCR reactions were conducted using the TaqManR single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays, and the SNPs were detected on the 7900HT real-time fluorogenic quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instrument. Finally, the severity of cervical vertigo was classified according to the JOA scoring, and the recovery rate (RR) of cervical vertigo was calculated in light of the formula as: [Formula: see text] RESULTS: The SNPs within ADRA1A [rs1048101 (T>C) and rs3802241 (C>T)], NPY [rs16476 (A>C), rs16148 (T>C), and rs5574 (C>T)], ADRB1 [rs28365031 (A>G)] and ADRB2 [rs2053044 (A>G)] were all significantly associated with regulated risk of cervical vertigo (all P < .05). Haplotypes of ADRA1A [CT and TC] and NPY [CCT and ATT] were also suggested as the susceptible factors of cervical vertigo in comparison with other haplotypes. Furthermore, the SNPs within ADRA1A [rs1048101 (T>C)], NPY [rs16476 (A>C), rs16148 (T>C)], as well as ADRB1 [rs28365031 (A>G)] all appeared to predict the prognosis of cervical vertigo in a relatively accurate way (all P < .05). Ultimately, the haplotypes of ADRA1A (CC) and NPY (CCT) tended to decrease the RR. CONCLUSIONS The SNPs within ADRB2, ADRB1, NPY, and ADRA1A might act as the diagnostic biomarkers and treatment targets for cervical vertigo.
