Sialin mediates submandibular gland regeneration ability by affecting polysialic acid synthesis.
Oral diseases 2023 JulSialin is a multifunctional molecule with a well-described role in physiological equilibrium regulation. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of sialin in salivary glands regeneration. Submandibular gland duct ligation/deligation of rat was performed to develop a rat model of submandibular gland regeneration. Phenotype changes were investigated using Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, as well as immunohistochemical staining. LV-slc17a5-RNAi vectors were injected into the submandibular glands via retroductal instillation to establish a stable sialin-knockdown model. Submandibular gland tissue structure could completely restore 28 days after duct deligation, when the duct had been ligated for 7 days. The expression of sialin, polysialic acid, and polysialyltransferase IV was significantly increased on Day 0 after duct deligation, and it returned to the level of the control group at Day 28. Moreover, sialin knockdown could weakened gland regeneration by reducing polysialic acid synthesis. Supplementing drinking water with polysialic acid precursors (ManNAc) in drinking water could partially rescue submandibular gland regeneration in sialin-knockdown rats. These data indicated that sialin was vital for submandibular gland regeneration which mediated the process of gland regeneration by affecting the polysialic acid synthesis. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
