Abstract
In the respiratory system, extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides serve as signaling molecules for a wide spectrum of biological functions regulating airway defenses against infection and toxic material. Their concentrations are controlled by a complex network of cell surface enzymes named ectonucleotidases. This highly integrated metabolic network combines the activities of three dephosphorylating ectonucleotidases, namely nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (NTPDases), nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterases (NPPs) and alkaline phosphatases (APs). Extracellular nucleotides are also inter-converted by the transphosphorylating activities of ecto adenylate kinase (ectoAK) and nucleoside diphosphokinase (NDPK). Different cell types use specific combinations of ectonucleotidases to regulate local concentrations of P2 receptor agonists (ATP, UTP, ADP and UDP). In addition, they provide AMP for the activity of ecto 5'-nucleotidase (ecto 5'-NT; CD73), which produces the P1 receptor agonist: adenosine (ADO). Finally, mechanisms are in place to prevent the accumulation of airway ADO, namely adenosine deaminases and nucleoside transporters. This chapter reviews the properties of each enzyme and transporter, and the current knowledge on their distribution and regulation in the airways.

Abstract
P2X purinergic receptors are receptors which, after ATP binding, form a channel permeant to monovalent and divalent cations. Acinar and ductal cells from salivary glands express P2X4 and P2X7 receptors. The P2X4 receptor has a high affinity for ATP, rapidly desensitizes and is mostly located on the basal membrane of acinar cells. The P2X7 receptor has a very low affinity for ATP. After a sustained activation, the permeability of the channel formed by this receptor increases eventually leading to the death of the cell. This receptor is located mostly on the apical membrane of acinar and ductal cells. It is suggested that the sequential activation of the two receptors contributes to the secretory response to ATP. A low concentration of ATP released by nerve endings transiently activates the P2X4 receptors and promotes the release of secretory granules containing ATP. The local increase of the concentration of the nucleotide at the vicinity of P2X7 receptors accounts for their activation. This further increases the exocytosis.

Abstract
Inflammation of the salivary gland is a well-documented aspect of salivary gland dysfunction that occurs in Sjogren's syndrome (SS), an autoimmune disease, and in γ-radiation-induced injury during treatment of head and neck cancers. Extracellular nucleotides have gained recognition as key modulators of inflammation through activation of cell surface ionotropic and metabotropic receptors, although the contribution of extracellular nucleotides to salivary gland inflammation is not well understood. In vitro studies using submandibular gland (SMG) cell aggregates isolated from wild-type C57BL/6 mice indicate that treatment with ATP or the high affinity P2X7R agonist 3'-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl-ATP (BzATP) induces membrane blebbing and enhances caspase activity, responses that were absent in SMG cell aggregates isolated from mice lacking the P2X7R (P2X7R(-/-)). Additional studies with SMG cell aggregates indicate that activation of the P2X7R with ATP or BzATP stimulates the cleavage and release of α-fodrin, a cytoskeletal protein thought to act as an autoantigen in the development of SS. In vivo administration of BzATP to ligated SMG excretory ducts enhances immune cell infiltration into the gland and initiates apoptosis of salivary epithelial cells in wild-type, but not P2X7R(-/-), mice. These findings indicate that activation of the P2X7R contributes to salivary gland inflammation in vivo, suggesting that the P2X7R may represent a novel target for the treatment of salivary gland dysfunction.

Abstract
We previously reported that endothelins (ETs) are involved in the rat central and peripheral regulation of bile secretion. In this study we sought to establish whether ET-1 and ET-3 modulated submandibular gland secretion when locally or centrally applied. Animals were prepared with gland duct cannulation to collect saliva samples and jugular cannulation to administer sialogogues. ETs were given either into the submandibular gland or brain lateral ventricle. Intraglandularly administered ETs failed to elicit salivation per se. However, ET-1, but not ET-3, potentiated both cholinergic- and adrenergic-evoked salivation through ET(A) receptors. ET-1 decreased cAMP content but increased phosphoinositide hydrolysis, whereas ET-3 attenuated both intracellular pathways. The expression of ET(A) and ET(B) receptor mRNAs as well as that of ETs was revealed in the submandibular gland by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemical studies showed that ET(A) receptor staining was localized around the interlobular ducts and acini, compatible with the myoepithelial cells' location, whereas ET(B) receptor staining was restricted to small blood vessels. When applied to the brain, both ETs induced no salivation but enhanced cholinergic- and adrenergic-evoked salivary secretion through parasympathetic pathways. ET-1 response was mediated by brain ET(A) receptors, whereas that of ET-3 was presumably through nonconventional ET receptors. Present findings show that ETs are involved in the brain regulation of cholinergic- and adrenergic-stimulated submandibular gland secretion through the activation of distinct brain ET receptors and parasympathetic pathways. However, when ETs were administered into the gland, only ET-1 enhanced cholinergic and adrenergic salivation likely through myopithelial cell contraction by activating ET(A) receptors coupled to phospholipase C. The presence of ETs and ET receptors suggests the existence of an endothelinergic system in the submandibular gland.

Abstract
The water channel aquaporin 5 (AQP5) seems to play a key role in salivary fluid secretion and appears to be critical in the cell volume regulation of acinar cells. Recently, the cation channel transient potential vanilloid receptor 4 (TRPV4) was shown to be functionally connected to AQP5 and also to cell volume regulation in salivary glands. We used the Simian virus 40 (SV40) immortalized cell line SMG C10 from the rat submandibular salivary gland to investigate the effect of ATP and the neurotransmitter analogue carbachol on Ca(2+) signalling and cell volume regulation, as well as the involvement of TRPV4 in the responses. We used fura-2-AM imaging, cell volume measurements, and western blotting. Both carbachol and ATP increased the concentration of intracellular Ca(2+), but no volume changes could be measured. Inhibition of TRPV4 with ruthenium red impaired both ATP- and carbachol-stimulated Ca(2+) signals. Peak Ca(2+) signalling during hyposmotic exposure was significantly decreased following inhibition of TRPV4, while the cells' ability to volume regulate appeared to be unaffected. These results show that in the SMG C10 cells, simulation of nervous stimulation did not induce cell swelling, although the cells had intact volume regulatory mechanisms. Furthermore, even though Ca(2+) signals were not needed for this volume regulation, TRPV4 seems to play a role during ATP and carbachol stimulation.

Abstract
The oral cavity is continuously bathed by saliva secreted by the major and minor salivary glands. Saliva is the first biological medium to confront external materials that are taken into the body as part of food or drink or inhaled volatile substances, and it contributes to the first line of oral defence. In humans, it has been shown that sputum and a variety of biological fluids contain Clara cell secretory proteins (CC10-CC26). Various studies of the respiratory apparatus have suggested their protective effect against inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Recently, CC10 deficiency has been related to the protein Annexin-1 (ANXA1), which has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. Considering the defensive role of both Clara cell secretory proteins and ANXA1 in the respiratory apparatus, and the importance of salivary gland secretion in the first line of oral defence, we decided to evaluate the expression of CC10, CC26 and ANXA1 proteins in rat major salivary glands using immunohistochemistry. CC10 expression was found only in the ductal component of the sublingual gland. Parotid and submandibular glands consistently lacked CC10 immunoreactivity. In the parotid gland, both acinar and ductal cells were always CC26-negative, whereas in the submandibular gland, immunostaining was localized in the ductal component and in the periodic acid Schiff (PAS)-positive area. In the sublingual gland, ductal cells were always positive. Acinar cells were not immunostained at all. ANXA1 was expressed in ductal cells in all three major glands. In parotid and sublingual glands, acinar cells were negative. In submandibular glands, immunostaining was present in the mucous PAS-positive portion, whereas serous acinar cells were consistently negative. The existence of some CC10-CC26-ANXA1-positive cells in rat salivary glandular tissue is an interesting preliminary finding which could support the hypothesis, suggested for airway tissue, that these proteins have a defensive and protective role. Protein expression heterogeneity in the different portions of the glands could be an important clue in further investigations of their role.

Abstract
Xerostomia is commonly caused by antidepressant drugs and ATP can influence the saliva production. Adenosine is the product of extracellular hydrolysis of adenine nucleotides in submandibular gland cells, which occurs by the action of ectonucleotidases. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of three different antidepressants in ecto-nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (E-NPP1-3) activities in cultured cells from salivary glands. Rats received imipramine (10mg/ml), fluoxetine (20mg/ml) or moclobemide (30mg/ml) by oral gavage. The drugs were administered once a day for 14 days. Our results have shown that the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-5'-thymidine monophosphate increased in all treatments. These effects were not consequence of transcriptional control of E-NPP1-3 genes. The results reported here can highlight the importance of ectonucleotidases in the most common side effect caused by antidepressant therapy.

Abstract
ATP in the 100 μM-1 mM concentration range provoked a calcium-independent increase of the oxidation of dichlorodihydrofluorescein (DCFH) to dichlorofluorescein (DCF) by mouse submandibular cells. 3′-O-(4-benzoyl)benzoyl adenosine 5′-triphosphate (BzATP), a P2X7 agonist, but not a muscarinic or an adrenergic agonist, reproduced the effect of ATP. The inhibition of phospholipase C by U73122 or the potentiation of P2X4 receptor activation with ivermectin did not modify the response to ATP. ATP did not increase the oxidation of DCFH in cells isolated from submandibular glands of P2X7 knockout mice or in cells pretreated with a P2X7 antagonist. The inhibition of protein kinase C or of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) or of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase blocked the oxidation of DCFH without affecting the increase of the intracellular concentration of calcium or the uptake of ethidium bromide in response to extracellular ATP. From these results it is concluded that the activation of the P2X7 receptors from submandibular glands triggers an intracellular signalling cascade involving protein kinase C and MAP kinase leading to the stimulation of NADPH oxidase and the subsequent generation of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
The effect of extracellular ATP on salivary gland function was compared in wild-type (WT) and P2X(7) knockout (KO) mice. The increase in the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) in response to carbachol was similar in submandibular ductal cells of WT and KO mice. ATP and its analog, benzoyl-ATP, induced a sustained increase in the [Ca(2+)](i) in WT animals. In KO mice, ATP slightly and transiently increased the [Ca(2+)](i) and benzoyl-ATP had no effect. The response to ATP of WT but not KO mice was blocked by KN-62, Coomassie blue and magnesium. The small response of ATP observed in KO mice was completely blocked in the absence of extracellular calcium, unchanged by U73122 and potentiated by ivermectin indicating the probable involvement of a P2X(4) receptor. A RT-PCR and a Western blot confirmed the presence of these receptors in ducts of both WT and KO mice. ATP increased the permeability of the cells to ethidium bromide and stimulated a phospholipase A(2) activity in WT but not KO mice. Mice submandibular gland cells secreted IL-1beta but this secretion was not modified by ATP and was similar in both groups of animals. The volume of saliva provoked by pilocarpine and the concentration of proteins, sodium and chloride in this saliva was similar in both groups of animals. The concentration of potassium was higher in KO mice. We can conclude that the major purinergic receptors expressed in mice submandibular ductal cells are P2X(7) receptors but that P2X(4) receptors are also involved in some ATP effects.

Abstract
Upon continuous stimulation, the pore of the monovalent cation-selective P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) expands to accommodate large molecules such as N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG+). How the change in P2X7R permeability is regulated is not known. Here we report that extracellular Cl- (Cl-(o)) regulates the outward current, whereas extracellular Na+ (Na+(o)) regulates the inward current of large molecules by P2X7Rs. The P2X7R-mediated current was measured in parotid acinar and duct cells of wild type and P2X7R-/- mice and in HEK293 cells expressing the human or mouse P2X7R isoforms. In symmetrical NaCl, triethylammonium chloride, and NMDG+ chloride solutions, the P2X7R current followed a linear current/voltage relationship. In symmetrical NaCl, removal of Cl-(o) reduced the inward Na+ current by approximately 35% and the outward Na+ current by only 10%. By contrast, in the absence of Na+(i) and the presence of Na+(o) or NMDG+(o), the removal of Cl-(o) reduced the inward Na+ or NMDG+ currents by 35% but the outward NMDG+ current by >95%. The effect of Cl-(o) was half-maximal at approximately 60 mm. Reducing Cl-(i) from 150 to 10 mm did not reproduce the effects of Cl-(o). All currents were eliminated in P2X7R-/- cells and reproduced by expressing the P2X7Rs in HEK cells. These findings suggest that Cl-(o) primarily regulates the outward P2X7R current of large molecules. When cells dialyzed with NMDG+ were stimulated in the presence of Na+(o), subsequent removal of Na+(o) resulted in a strongly outward rectifying NMDG+ current, indicating maintained high selectivity for Na+ over NMDG+. During continuous incubation in Na+-free medium, the permeability of the P2X7Rs to NMDG+ gradually increased. On the other hand, when the cells were incubated in symmetrical NMDG+ and only then stimulated with ATP, the NMDG+ current by P2X7Rs followed a linear current/voltage relationship and did not change with time. These findings suggest that the P2X7R has a "Na+(o) memory" and that Na+(o) regulates the inward permeability of P2X7Rs to large molecules. The novel regulation of P2X7R outward and inward permeability to large molecules by Cl-(o) and Na+(o), respectively, may have an important protective function, particularly in secretory epithelial cells.

Abstract
Capacitative calcium influx plays an important role in shaping the Ca(2+) response of various tissues and cell types. Inhibition by heavy metals is a hallmark of store-operated calcium channel (SOCC) activity. Paradoxically, although zinc is the only potentially physiological relevant ion, it is the least investigated in terms of inhibitory mechanism. In the present study, we characterize the inhibitory mechanism of the SOCC by Zn(2+) in the human salivary cell line, HSY, and rat salivary submandibular ducts and acini by monitoring SOCC activity using fluorescence imaging. Analysis of Zn(2+) inhibition indicated that Zn(2+) acts as a competitive inhibitor of Ca(2+) influx but does not permeate through the SOCC, suggesting that Zn(2+) interacts with an extracellular site of SOCC. Application of the reducing agents, dithiothreitol (DTT) and beta-mercaptoethanol, totally eliminated Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) inhibition of SOCC, suggesting that cysteines are part of the Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) binding site. Interestingly, reducing conditions failed to eliminate the inhibition of SOCC by La(3+) and Gd(3+), indicating that the Zn(2+) and lanthanides binding sites are distinct. 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. The presence of a specific Zn(2+) site, responsive to physiological Zn(2+) and redox potential, may not only be instrumental for future structural studies of various SOCC candidates but may also reveal novel physiological aspects of the interaction between zinc, redox potential, and cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis.

Abstract
The muscarinic agonist carbachol stimulated phospholipase D (PLD) in rat submandibular gland (RSMG) ductal cells in a time and concentration-dependent manner. This effect was inhibited by chelation of extracellular calcium with ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA). PLD could also be activated by epinephrine and AlF(4)(-), two polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PPI-PLC) activators, and by the phorbol ester o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) which activates protein kinase C (PKC). Ionomycin and thapsigargin only slightly increased PLD activity. Ortho-vanadate, a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, also stimulated PLD activity. Both carbachol and o-vanadate increased the formation of inositol phosphates and the tyrosine phosphorylation of at least two proteins (55-60 and 120 kDa). Calphostin C (a PKC inhibitor), U73122 (a PPI-PLC inhibitor) and genistein (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor) blocked the activation of PLD, of PLC and the phosphorylation of tyrosyl residues in response to carbachol and vanadate. Taken together, these results suggest that rat submandibular gland ductal cells express a calcium-dependent PLD activity. This enzyme is regulated by carbachol via a PLC-PKC-tyrosine kinase pathway.

Abstract
The effect of trichloroethanol (TCEt), the active metabolite of chloral hydrate, on the intracellular concentration of calcium ([Ca(2+)](i)) was investigated in rat submandibular glands (RSMG) acini loaded with fura-2. TCEt (1 - 10 mM) increased the [Ca(2+)](i) independently of the presence of calcium in the extracellular medium. Dichloroethanol (DCEt) and monochloroethanol (MCEt) reproduced the stimulatory effect of TCEt but at much higher concentrations (about 6 fold higher for DCEt and 20 fold higher for MCEt). TCEt mobilized an intracellular pool of calcium, which was depleted by a pretreatment with thapsigargin, an inhibitor of the sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum calcium-dependent ATPases, but not with FCCP, an uncoupler of mitochondria. TCEt 10 mM inhibited by 50% the thapsigargin-sensitive microsomal Ca(2+)-ATPase. DCEt 10 mM and MCEt 10 mM inhibited the ATPase by 20 and 10%, respectively. TCEt inhibited the increase of the [Ca(2+)](i) and the production of inositol phosphates in response to carbachol, epinephrine and substance P. TCEt inhibited the uptake of calcium mediated by the store-operated calcium channel (SOCC). ATP and Bz-ATP increased the [Ca(2+)](i) in RSMG acini and this effect was blocked by extracellular magnesium, by Coomassie blue and by oxydized ATP (oATP). TCEt potentiated the increase of the [Ca(2+)](i) and of the uptake of extracellular calcium in response to ATP and Bz-ATP. TCEt had no effect on the uptake of barium and of ethidium bromide in response to purinergic agonists. These results suggest that TCEt, at sedative concentrations, exerts various effects on the calcium regulation: (1) it mobilizes a thapsigargin-sensitive intracellular pool of calcium in RSMG acini; (2) it inhibits the uptake of calcium via the SOCC; (3) it inhibits the activation by G protein-coupled receptors of a polyphosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C. It does not interfere with the activation of the ionotropic P2X receptors. The use of chloral hydrate should be avoided in studies exploring the in vivo responses to sialagogues.
