Abstract

Guanylin-like peptides regulate electrolyte/water transport through the epithelia. Moreover, these peptides possess antiproliferative activity and regulate the turnover of epithelial cells. In an earlier study we localized guanylin immunoreactivity in secretory ducts of adult rodent salivary glands. In this study we investigated the appearance and distribution pattern of this peptide during the development of rat salivary glands. Guanylin immunoreactivity appeared at the beginning of cell differentiation from solid bud, on embryonic day 17 in the submandibular and sublingual glands and after day 18 in the parotid gland. Guanylin immunoreactivity appeared first in ductal and acinar anlage: its cell distribution pattern and fate differed in these two compartments. In the duct cells guanylin immunoreactivity spread after the duct system developed, whereas in acinar cells it disappeared after cell differentiation. The guanylin immunoreactivity we detected in adult salivary duct cells accords with guanylin’s role in regulating electrolyte and water transport through the various epithelia. It does so by activating guanylate cyclase-C receptor, increasing intracellular cGMP concentration, and phosphorylating the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein by the cGMP-dependent protein kinase II. This signaling cascade couples to the ductal electrolyte/water secretion and modulates finally the electrolyte composition of the saliva. On the other hand, CFTR is also involved in mechanisms of cell growth, by regulating apoptosis, and promoting cell differentiation. The early diffuse guanylin immunoreactivity we observed in ducts and acinar anlage, before the secretory set is operative, suggests guanylin has a role in cell differentiation.
