Individual Sweet Taste Perception Influences Salivary Characteristics After Orosensory Stimulation With Sucrose and Noncaloric Sweeteners. Front Nutr 2022; 9:831726.

Abstract
Emerging evidence points to a major role of salivary flow and viscoelastic properties in taste perception and mouthfeel. It has been proposed that sweet-tasting compounds influence salivary characteristics. However, whether perceived differences in the sensory properties of structurally diverse sweet-tasting compounds contribute to salivary flow and saliva viscoelasticity as part of mouthfeel and overall sweet taste perception remains to be clarified. In this study, we hypothesized that the sensory diversity of sweeteners would differentially change salivary characteristics in response to oral sweet taste stimulation. Therefore, we investigated salivary flow and saliva viscoelasticity from 21 healthy test subjects after orosensory stimulation with sucrose, rebaudioside M (RebM), sucralose, and neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC) in a crossover design and considered the basal level of selected influencing factors, including the basal oral microbiome. All test compounds enhanced the salivary flow rate by up to 1.51 ± 0.12 g/min for RebM compared to 1.10 ± 0.09 g/min for water within the 1st min after stimulation. The increase in flow rate was moderately correlated with the individually perceived sweet taste (r = 0.3, p < 0.01) but did not differ between the test compounds. The complex viscosity of saliva was not affected by the test compounds, but the analysis of covariance showed that it was associated (p < 0.05) with mucin 5B (Muc5B) concentration. The oral microbiome was of typical composition and diversity but was strongly individual-dependent (permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA): R2 = 0.76, p < 0.001) and was not associated with changes in salivary characteristics. In conclusion, this study indicates an impact of individual sweet taste impressions on the flow rate without measurable changes in the complex viscosity of saliva, which may contribute to the overall taste perception and mouthfeel of sweet-tasting compounds.

Localization of phospholipase C β3 in the major salivary glands of adult mice. Acta Histochem 2019; 121:484-490. [PMID: 31003695 DOI: 10.1016/j.acthis.2019.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2019] [Revised: 03/28/2019] [Accepted: 04/12/2019] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC)β has a role in saliva secretion by controlling intracellular Ca2+via its product, IP3. The present study was attempted to localize PLCβ isoforms in mouse salivary glands in situ. A single major band was detected for PLCβ3 in immunoblots of the parotid and sublingual glands (PG, SLG), while no such band was seen in the submandibular gland (SMG). No bands were detected for PLCβ1 or 4 in the three glands. In immuno-light microscopy of PG and SLG, substantial immunoreactivity for PLCβ3 was seen in the cytoplasm including the plasmalemma of almost all ductal cells, while no distinct immunoreactivity was discerned in most acinar cells except for sublingual demilune cells. Numerous ductal cells exhibited higher immunoreactivity for PLCβ3 in their apical/supranuclear cell domain including the plasmalemma than in the basal/infranuclear domain, indicating an apico-basal polarity. In immuno-gold electron microscopy of PG ducts and SLG ducts and demilunes, most gold particles were found in association with plasma membranes as well as various intracellular membranes, most of which formed small oblong or flattened vesicles and vacuoles. A few particles were seen without association with any membranous structures. The present finding supports the previous physio-pharmacological result that Ca2+-signaling proteins as well as initial intracellular Ca2+ changes occur in the apical cell domain including the plasma membranes of the exocrine cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed at evaluating in vitro the effect of caffeine on expression of cystatin SN, a potential marker of sensitivity to bitterness in humans. METHODS Differentiation of human submandibular gland (HSG) cells was induced by culturing cells on Matrigel. Caffeine cytotoxicity was assessed over 3 days by the Resazurin test. Finally, effects of 5, 50 and 100μM caffeine exposure on cystatin SN expression were explored over 3 days by ELISA. RESULTS At concentrations relevant to human adult plasma levels (5, 50 and 100μM), caffeine did not affect cell viability whether cells were differentiated or not. Cystatin SN levels were overall higher in differentiated cells and increased with time in both conditions. There was a significant (p<0.001) effect of caffeine on cystatin SN expression specifically in differentiated cells. CONCLUSIONS The HSG cell line proved to be a relevant tool to study in vitro the effect of caffeine at concentrations consistent with dietary intake in human subjects. The results suggest that salivary cystatin SN abundance may depend on caffeine intake, with possible consequences on taste sensitivity.
