Adenoviruses have been used for gene transfer to salivary gland cellsin vivo. Their use to study the function of salivary acinar cells was limited by a severe inflammatory response and by the destruction of fluid-secreting acinar cells. In the present study, low doses of adenovirus were administered to express Stim1-mKO1 by retrograde ductal injection to submandibular glands. The approach succeeded in increasing muscarinic stimulation-induced Ca2+responses in acinar cells without inflammation or decreased salivary secretions. This increased Ca2+response was notable upon weak muscarinic stimulation and was attributed to increased Ca2+release from internal stores and increased Ca2+entry. The basal Ca2+level was higher in Stim1-mKO1-expressing cells than in mKO1-expressing and non-expressing cells. Exposure of permeabilized submandibular acinar cells, where Ca2+concentration was fixed at 50 nM, to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) produced similar effects on the release of Ca2+from stores in Stim1-mKO1-expressing and non-expressing cells. The low toxicity and relative specificity to acinar cells of the mild gene transfer method described herein are particularly useful for studying the molecular functions of salivary acinar cellsin vivo, and may be applied to increase salivary secretions in experimental animals and human in future.
