Abstract Background and aims: Diabetes affects the metabolism promoting damage in different tissues, including salivary glands. Current treatments, such as insulin, are ineffective to recovery of these tissues. In this aspect, the immunotherapy has been tested, but it can be inefficient as an agent for the control of damage caused by diabetes. The aim of this study to evaluate the association in anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody in the recovery of salivary glands of diabetic NOD mice. Material and methods: Fifteen spontaneously diabetic mice (NOD) were divided into three groups with 5 animals each: group I (Balb/C control mice), group II (untreated NOD mice), group III (NOD mice treated with CD4 and CD8 antibodies). The CD4 and CD8 antibodies (IMUNY, Rheabiotech Ltda, Brazil) were administered by intravenously injections (25 ug/days: 0, 7, 14, and 21). After treatment salivary glands samples were analyzed by immunofluorescence, microscopy, light microscopy and stereology. (ethical approval process: 304/11), Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric test were used. Results: Elevated levels of glucose (mg/dl) were observed in untreated animals (group II) (605.25 ± 31.23, p≤0.05), whereas in treated animals (group III), were noted a decrease in these levels (464.77 ± 39.66, p≤0.05). Tissue restructure, characterized by cell volume recovery, also was observed in group III (nuclear volume of parotid glands: (109.91 ± 02.03, p≤0.05) and submandibular glands: (107.52 ± 02, p≤0.05) (cytoplasmic volume of parotid glands: (356.14 ± 26.34, p≤0.05) and submandibular glands: (331.22 ± 32.11, p≤0.05). Intense signaling (+++) of insulin receptors was observed in animals of group I. On the other hand, in group II was noted a reduction of these receptors (+). In treated animals (group III) were observed a recovery of the insulin receptors (+++). Conclusions: This treatment was effective in the recovery of salivary acinar cells, contributed also to homeostasis of body metabolism. Thus, this immunomodulation promoted a beneficial effect on the recovery of these tissues.

In vivo pancreatic acini from normal mice are exposed to very high concentrations of insulin. To determine whether insulin receptors in these acini are downregulated by this endogenous insulin, insulin receptors on acini from both normal and diabetic mice were studied. Isolated acini from normal mice, which have accompanying islets of Langerhans, were studied under conditions where endogenous insulin was minimized. These acini bound 50% less 125I-insulin than acini from mice made diabetic with streptozotocin. Computer analysis of competition-inhibition curves showed a decrease in the number of insulin receptors in acini from normal mice when compared with acini from diabetic mice; however, the IC50 (a measure of receptor affinity) remained unchanged at approximately 1 nM. To study further the regulation of acinar cell insulin receptors, acini from diabetic mice were placed in suspension culture for 24 h. Addition of 1 microM insulin during the culture period led to a 30% decrease in subsequent 125I-insulin binding; the presence or absence of either epidermal growth factor or carbachol was without effect on insulin binding. The decrease in binding induced by insulin resulted from a change in receptor number without an alteration of the IC50. Measurement of total acinar cell insulin receptors by solubilization of these acini in 1% Triton X-100 showed that this insulin-induced decrease was due to a change in the total number of cellular insulin receptors. The present study suggests, therefore, that insulin can regulate its own receptor on pancreatic acini and that in vivo insulin receptors in normal pancreatic cells are downregulated, presumably due to high ambient insulin concentrations.
