Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the relationship between diabetic xerostomia and changes in aquaporin-1 (AQP1), aquaporin-5 (AQP5), and aquaporin-8 (AQP8) expression in the submandibular glands (SMGs), to further study the pathogenesis of diabetic xerostomia and to observe the therapeutic effect of insulin (INS).
METHODS: Thirty SD rats were randomized equally into 3 groups: control group, diabetic model (DM) group and insulin (INS) group (n=10, respectively). The control group received no treatment. DM group and INS group were induced by a high-fat diet and streptozotocin intraperitoneal injection. After establishment of a diabetic rat model, the rats in INS group were treated with insulin. Then all rats were fed continuously with ordinary diet for 2 months. H&E staining was used to describe morphologic changes in the SMGs of rats. Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the expressions and localization of AQP1, AQP5, and AQP8 in the SMGs. Computer image analysis was used to detect the mean optical density (MOD) values of AQP1, AQP5, and AQP8 expression, and changes in the diameters of acini and ducts.
RESULTS: The acini were mildly atrophied and the acinar cells were rearranged in an irregular way. The morphology of insulin-administered diabetic SMGs was similar to that of the control group. The acinar average circumference and GCT average diameter in DM group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). The acinar average circumference and GCT average diameter of INS group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The expressions of AQP1, AQP5, and AQP8 were significantly reduced in DM group (P<0.05). The expressions of AQP1, AQP5, and AQP8 in INS group were significantly increased (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The decreased expressions of AQP1, AQP5, and AQP8 led to decreased salivary secretion of SMGs in diabetic rats, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic xerostomia. Insulin could up-regulate the expressions of AQP1, AQP5 and AQP8, and play a protective role in the secretory function of diabetic SMGs.
