Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined histological changes in the intestinal mucosa, expression level of factors related to intestinal immune response, and intestinal microbiome using mice with sialoadenectomy (submandibular, sublingual, and parotid glands). There was no significant difference in body weight changes during the experimental. However, the volume of saliva secretion in sialoadenectomy group was significantly decreased and depending time increase was also significantly suppressed. In addition, histopathological changes were observed in the villi of jejunum and ileum with significantly shortness in sialoadenectomy group one month after surgical treatment. They did not recover in the sixth postoperative month. The results of gut microbiome analysis showed that alpha diversity was significantly higher in the sham-operated group at six months postoperatively. Beta diversity was higher in the explanted group at three months and in the sham-operated group at six months.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の結果、唾液腺摘出によって唾液分泌量が低下するだけでなく、空腸・回腸の絨毛長が短縮し、摘出術後6か月経過しても回復しないこと、更に腸内細菌叢にも変化があることが分かった。従って、唾液の作用は従来考えられていた、咀嚼や嚥下・会話を円滑にすることや、自浄作用によるカリエスや歯周病の予防、口腔粘膜の保護だけではなく、遠隔臓器である消化管にも影響があることが示唆され、唾液分泌量低下を来たす疾患や病態の解明が進むと期待できる。
