Xerostomia, the subjective feeling of a dry mouth associated with dysfunction salivary glands, is mainly caused by radiation and chemotherapy, various systemic autoimmune diseases, drugs. As saliva plays numerous essential roles in oral health, xerostomia significantly reduces quality life, but its prevalence increasing. Salivation depends on parasympathetic sympathetic nerves, glands responsible for this secretion move fluid unidirectionally through structural features such as polarity acinar cells. Saliva initiated binding released neurotransmitters from nerves to specific G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) This signal induces two intracellular calcium (Ca2+) pathways (Ca2+ release endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ influx across plasma membrane), increased concentration ([Ca2+]i) causes translocation water channel aquaporin 5 (AQP5) apical membrane. Consequently, GPCR-mediated [Ca2+]i cells promotes secretion, moves into cavity ducts. In review, we seek elucidate potential GPCRs, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), store-operated entry (SOCE), AQP5, which are salivation, cellular targets etiology xerostomia.

Salivary gland hypofunction (SGH) caused by systemic disease, drugs, aging, and radiotherapy for head neck cancer can cause dry mouth, which increases the risk of disorders such as periodontitis, taste disorders, pain burning sensations in dental caries, dramatically reduces quality life patients. To date, treatment SGH is still aimed at relieving patients’ clinical symptoms improving their life, not able to repair regenerate damaged salivary glands. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including embryonic (ESCs), induced pluripotent (iPSCs), extended (EPSCs), are an emerging source cellular therapies that capable unlimited proliferation differentiation into all three germ layers. In recent years, immunomodulatory tissue regenerative effects PSCs, derived cells, paracrine products these have received increasing attention demonstrated promising therapeutic some preclinical studies targeting SGH.

We recently developed a salivary gland tissue mimetic (SGm), comprised of cells encapsulated in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-degradable poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels within arrays ∼320 µm diameter spherical cavities molded PDMS. The SGm provides functional and physiologically relevant platform well-suited to high-throughput drug screening for radioprotective compounds. However, the utility would benefit from improved retention acinar cell phenotype function. hypothesized that tuning biochemical cues presented PEG hydrogel improve maintenance function by mimicking natural extracellular microenvironment intact gland.
