Recent research efforts in oral biology have resulted in elucidation of the proteomes of major human salivary secretions and whole saliva. One might hypothesize that the proteome of minor gland secretions may show significantly different characteristics when compared with the proteomes of parotid or submandibular/sublingual secretions. To test this hypothesis, we conducted the first exploration into the proteome of minor salivary gland secretion. Minor gland secretion was obtained from healthy volunteers, and its components were subjected to liquid-chromatography-electrospray-ionization-tandem-mass-spectrometry. This led to the identification of 56 proteins, 12 of which had never been identified in any salivary secretion. The unique characteristics of the minor salivary gland secretion proteome are related to the types as well as the numbers of components present. The differences between salivary proteomes may be important with respect to specific oral functions.

In blowfly salivary glands, breakdown of phosphatidylinositol has been linked to the activation of hormone-sensitive Ca2+ channels. Addition of 5-hydroxytryptamine to blowfly salivary glands stimulated the breakdown of phosphatidylinositol prelabeled with 32P or [3H]arachidonic acid. This was associated with a transient accumulation of [3H]arachidonic-labeled diglyceride. There was no appreciable effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine on breakdown of phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine labeled with 32P or [3H]arachidonic acid, indicating that phosphatidylinositol was the immediate source of diglyceride. Extracellular Ca2+ was necessary for [3H]arachidonic acid but not 32P loss from phosphatidylinositol. Addition of arachidonic acid to salivary glands did not stimulate salivary gland secretion or 45Ca flux. In contrast, 5-hydroxytryptamine stimulated both salivary gland secretion and 45Ca flux. These results indicate that, although [3H]arachidonic acid is incorporated into phosphatidylinositol and its release from this phospholipid is increased by 5-hydroxytryptamine, the liberated arachidonic acid does not stimulate salivary gland secretion or 45Ca flux.
