GSE234789 Perturbation of the circadian clock contributes to radiotherapy-induced salivary gland hypofunction
Contributors : Zhicao Yue ; Shiting Song ; Kaibin YangSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing ; Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusSalivary gland hypofunction is a common adverse effect during and after radiotherapy of head and neck cancers, resulting in the dry mouth syndrome called xerostomia. Previous studies suggested that the functionality of the salivary gland is under the regulation of the circadian clock, however, the extent and scope of this regulation remains unexplored. Here, we profiled the diurnal fluctuation of gene expression in ...

Examination of age-related changes in the submandibular glands of male mice
AbstractSalivary gland hypofunction adversely affects the oral environment and daily life by causing dry mouth (xerostomia). Senescence-related atrophy of salivary gland tissues is one cause of xerostomia, and it is particularly common among the elderly. However, the underlying mechanism is poorly understood, and no treatment has been established. Therefore, we examined age-related changes in senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, which regulate stemness and cellular senescence, in mouse submandibular glands. We analyzed the submandibular glands of 6-week-old (young group,n = 6) and 82-week-old mice ...

Longitudinal evaluation of major salivary gland functioning in Sj ögren's disease patients in a prospective standard-of-care cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, major salivary gland functioning assessed with SGUS, sialometry and PROMs did not change significantly up to 5 years of follow-up in a standard-of-care cohort of SjD patients from daily clinical practice.PMID:38149509 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/cjxd4i (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Human Minor Salivary Glands: A Readily Available Source of Salivary Stem/Progenitor Cells for Regenerative Applications
Methods Mol Biol. 2024;2749:25-38. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3609-1_3.ABSTRACTResident stem/progenitor cells within the secretory salivary glands offer a potential therapeutic resource for use in the regeneration of salivary glands needed to restore saliva production in patients with chronic xerostomia, or dry mouth. Methods were developed previously to isolate human stem/progenitor cells (hS/PCs) from major salivary glands (parotid/submandibular). Abundant minor salivary glands located in readily accessible locations in the oral cavity and lip could provide an additional valuable therapeutic resource. An advantage of this c...

Effect of mandibular advancement appliance use on oral and periodontal health in patients with  OSA: a systematic review
ConclusionMAA use is associated with a number of clinical consequences on oral health, but there is no evidence to conclude whether or not  MAA affects periodontal health in patients with OSA. This aspect appears to be under-evaluated and should be further investigated in relation to the type of MAA, the duration of treatment, and prior history of periodontitis.
