Current dogma suggests that salivary gland homeostasis is stem cell-dependent. However, the extent of stem cell contribution to salivary gland maintenance has not been determined. We have investigated acinar cell replacement during homeostasis, growth and regeneration, using an inducible CreERT2 expressed under the control of the Mist1 gene locus. Genetic labeling, followed by a chase period, showed that acinar cell replacement is not driven by the differentiation of unlabeled stem cells. Analysis using R26Brainbow2.1 reporter revealed continued proliferation and clonal expansion of terminally differentiated acinar cells in all major salivary glands. Induced injury also demonstrated the regenerative potential of pre-labeled acinar cells. Our results support a revised model for salivary gland homeostasis based predominantly on self-duplication of acinar cells, rather than on differentiation of stem cells. The proliferative capacity of differentiated acinar cells may prove critical in the implementation of cell-based strategies to restore the salivary glands.
