The natriuretic system in human and murine submandibular salivary glands in health and disease: insights from head and neck tumour cases

2019

Introduction: The wide distribution of the atrial natriuretic peptide was paralleled by a similar presence of its receptors, an indication of the wide range of their biological effects beyond the control of the homeostatic process. This study depicts through immunohistochemical and molecular techniques the distribution and modulation of atrial natriuretic peptide and its receptors in human and murine salivary glands. It also highlights some clinical implications of ANP dysregulation. Methods: Human SMG’s tissue samples were biopsied from normal (3), people with benign (2) or with malignant tumors (8). In addition, biopsies were taken from normal mice (10). They were processed by standard me…
