Research Abstract |
We examined the ontogenic expression of PAC1R in mouse salivary glands. Salivary glands at 0, 3, 5, 7, 14 and 21 days postnatal male C57BL/6 mice were used for the immunohistochemical detection of PAC1R. In parotid gland, the acinus was not clearly formed and PAC1R was not detected until 14 days after birth. At 14 days, PAC1R was detected in the striated duct. In sublingual gland, acinus and duct were formed at 0 days after birth. PAC1R was constantly expressed in the striated duct from 0 day postnatal stage. In the case of submandibular gland, granular duct was not clearly identified and PAC1R was localized in striated first detected in striated duct until 21 days after birth. After 21 days, PAC1R was clearly detected at pillar cells in granular duct. Some of cells in the duct showed intense immunoreactions of PAC1R.
