We have characterized a recently rediscovered chemosensory structure at the rear of the mandibular mucosa in the mouse oral cavity originally reported in the 1980s. This consists of unorganized taste buds, not contained within troughs, associated with the ducts of an underlying minor salivary gland. Using whole-mount preparations of transgenic mice expressing green fluorescent protein under the promoter of taste-signaling-specific genes, we determined that the structure contains taste bud clusters and salivary gland orifices at the rear of each mandible, distal to the last molar and anterior to the ascending ramus. Immunohistochemical analysis shows in the retromolar taste buds expression of the taste receptors Tas2R131 and T1R3 and taste cascade molecules TrpM5, PLCβ2, and GNAT3, consistent with type II taste cells, and expression of GAD1, consistent with type III taste cells. Furthermore, the neuronal marker, calcitonin gene-related peptide, in retromolar mucosa tissue wrapping around TrpM5+ taste buds was observed. RT–PCR showed that retromolar taste buds express all 3 mouse tas1r genes, 28 of the 35 tas2r genes, and taste transduction signaling genes gnat3, plcb2, and trpm5, making the retromolar taste buds similar to other lingual and palate taste buds. Finally, histochemistry demonstrated that the mandibular retromolar secretory gland is a minor salivary gland of mucous type. The mandibular retromolar taste structure may thus play a role in taste sensation and represent a potential novel pharmacological target for taste disorders.

与粘液唾液腺相关的小鼠下颌磨牙后味蕾

我们在 1980 年代最初报道的小鼠口腔下颌黏膜后部最近重新发现了一种化学感应结构。这由无组织的味蕾组成,不包含在槽内,与下面的小唾液腺的导管相关联。使用在味觉信号特异性基因的启动子下表达绿色荧光蛋白的转基因小鼠的整体制剂,我们确定该结构在每个下颌骨的后部、最后一个臼齿的远端和前部包含味蕾簇和唾液腺孔。到上升的支路。免疫组织化学分析显示,在磨牙后味蕾中,味觉受体 Tas2R131 和 T1R3 以及味觉级联分子 TrpM5、PLCβ2 和 GNAT3 的表达与 II 型味觉细胞一致,GAD1 的表达,与 III 型味觉细胞一致。此外,观察到包裹在 TrpM5+ 味蕾周围的磨牙后黏膜组织中的神经元标志物降钙素基因相关肽。RT-PCR 显示磨牙后味蕾表达所有 3 个小鼠 tas1r 基因、35 个 tas2r 基因中的 28 个和味觉转导信号基因 gnat3、plcb2 和 trpm5,使磨牙后味蕾与其他舌和味蕾相似。最后,组织化学表明下颌磨牙后分泌腺是粘液型的小唾液腺。因此,下颌臼齿后味觉结构可能在味觉中发挥作用,并代表味觉障碍的潜在新药理学靶点。在磨牙后黏膜组织中观察到包裹在 TrpM5+ 味蕾周围的组织。RT-PCR 显示磨牙后味蕾表达所有 3 个小鼠 tas1r 基因、35 个 tas2r 基因中的 28 个和味觉转导信号基因 gnat3、plcb2 和 trpm5,使磨牙后味蕾与其他舌和味蕾相似。最后,组织化学表明下颌磨牙后分泌腺是粘液型的小唾液腺。因此,下颌臼齿后味觉结构可能在味觉中发挥作用,并代表味觉障碍的潜在新药理学靶点。在磨牙后黏膜组织中观察到包裹在 TrpM5+ 味蕾周围的组织。RT-PCR 显示磨牙后味蕾表达所有 3 个小鼠 tas1r 基因、35 个 tas2r 基因中的 28 个和味觉转导信号基因 gnat3、plcb2 和 trpm5,使磨牙后味蕾与其他舌和味蕾相似。最后,组织化学表明下颌磨牙后分泌腺是粘液型的小唾液腺。因此,下颌臼齿后味觉结构可能在味觉中发挥作用,并代表味觉障碍的潜在新药理学靶点。使磨牙后味蕾与其他舌和腭味蕾相似。最后,组织化学表明下颌磨牙后分泌腺是粘液型的小唾液腺。因此,下颌臼齿后味觉结构可能在味觉中发挥作用,并代表味觉障碍的潜在新药理学靶点。使磨牙后味蕾与其他舌和腭味蕾相似。最后,组织化学表明下颌磨牙后分泌腺是粘液型的小唾液腺。因此,下颌臼齿后味觉结构可能在味觉中发挥作用,并代表味觉障碍的潜在新药理学靶点。
