Activation of Type III cells in mammalian taste buds is implicated in the transduction of acids (sour) and salty stimuli. Several lines of evidence suggest that function of Type III cells in the anterior taste fields may differ from that of Type III cells in posterior taste fields. Underlying anatomy to support this observation is, however, scant. Most existing immunohistochemical data characterizing this cell type focus on circumvallate taste buds in the posterior tongue. Equivalent data from anterior taste fields-fungiform papillae and soft palate-are lacking. Here, we compare Type III cells in four taste fields: fungiform, soft palate, circumvallate, and foliate in terms of reactivity to four canonical markers of Type III cells: polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 (PKD2L1), synaptosomal associated protein 25 (SNAP25), serotonin (5-HT), and glutamate decarboxylase 67 (GAD67). Our findings indicate that while PKD2L1, 5-HT, and SNAP25 are highly coincident in posterior taste fields, they diverge in anterior taste fields. In particular, a subset of taste cells expresses PKD2L1 without the synaptic markers, and a subset of SNAP25 cells lacks expression of PKD2L1. In posterior taste fields, GAD67-positive cells are a subset of PKD2L1 expressing taste cells, but anterior taste fields also contain a significant population of GAD67-only expressing cells. These differences in expression patterns may underlie the observed functional differences between anterior and posterior taste fields.

小鼠的前味区域中的III型细胞在免疫组织化学上比后味区域中的细胞更多样化。

哺乳动物味蕾中III型细胞的激活与酸(酸)和咸味刺激的转导有关。有几条证据表明,前味区域中的III型细胞的功能可能与后味区域中的III型细胞的功能不同。然而,支持这种观察的基础解剖结构却很少。表征该细胞类型的大多数现有免疫组织化学数据都集中在后方舌头的周缘味蕾。缺乏来自前味领域(真菌状乳头和软pa)的等效数据。在这里,我们比较了四个口味域中的III型细胞:真菌形,软pa,环戊酸和叶酸与III型细胞的四个典型标志物的反应性:多囊肾病2样1(PKD2L1),突触体相关蛋白25( SNAP25),5-羟色胺(5-HT),和谷氨酸脱羧酶67(GAD67)。我们的发现表明,虽然PKD2L1、5-HT和SNAP25在后味区域中高度一致,但它们在前味区域中存在差异。特别地,一部分味觉细胞表达没有突触标记的PKD2L1,而一部分SNAP25细胞缺乏PKD2L1的表达。在后味区中,GAD67阳性细胞是表达PKD2L1的味细胞的一个子集,但前味区也包含大量仅表达GAD67的细胞。表达模式的这些差异可能是观察到的前味区和后味区之间功能差异的基础。一部分味觉细胞表达没有突触标记的PKD2L1,而一部分SNAP25细胞缺乏PKD2L1的表达。在后味区中,GAD67阳性细胞是表达PKD2L1的味细胞的一个子集,但前味区也包含大量仅表达GAD67的细胞。表达模式的这些差异可能是观察到的前味区和后味区之间功能差异的基础。一部分味觉细胞表达没有突触标记的PKD2L1,而一部分SNAP25细胞缺乏PKD2L1的表达。在后味区中,GAD67阳性细胞是表达PKD2L1的味细胞的一个子集,但前味区也包含大量仅表达GAD67的细胞。表达模式的这些差异可能是观察到的前味区和后味区之间功能差异的基础。
