Abstract

This study was performed to determine alleviating effects of green tea (GT) on the N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) toxicity to mucins in the rat lingual salivary glands. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: untreated (Control), one week-NDMA administrated (NDMA), one week-GT administrated after NDMA for one week (NDMAGT), one week-NDMA administrated with GT (GTNDMA), and one-week NDMA administrated with GT after GT for one week (GTGTNDMA). The mucin properties were elucidated by periodic acid Schiff (PAS) reaction, alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5, AB pH 2.5-PAS, aldehyde fuchsin (AF) pH 1.7-AB pH 2.5, and high iron diamine (HID)-AB pH 2.5 staining. The lingual von Ebner's glands of NDMA group showed some changes such as contraction and destruction of the serous acini, decrease and disappearance of the cytoplasmic granules, vacuolation of cytoplasm, and the mucigenous duct cells. Also, in the lingual mucous glands, enlarged lumens, fused acini, disappearance of granules, vacuolation of cytoplasm, and mucigenous duct cells were observed. All the GT administrated groups had a tendency to recover. GTGTNDMA group recovered almost up to the state of the control group. The lingual von Ebner's glands of NDMA group showed a decrease of neutral mucin and the lingual mucous glands showed a decrease of both neutral and acidic mucins decreased in comparison with control group, although mucous acini secreting strong sulfomucin decreased while those secreting non-sulfomucin (sialomucin) increased. All the GT administrated groups had a tendency to recover. The degree of recovery in the GTNDMA group was stronger than in NDMAGT group and that of the GTGTNDMA group was almost up to the state of the control group. Plus, lingual von Ebner's glands of GTGTNDMA group contained much more neutral mucin than in the control group. In conclusion, it is suggested that NDMA exhibit the toxicity which affects on the mucin properties and which green tea alleviates.

흰쥐의 혀침샘인 혀 von Ebner샘과 혀 점액샘의 점액질에 영향을 미치는 N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA)의 독성에 대한 녹차의 완화 효과를 조사하기 위해 Sprague- Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐를 대조군, NDMA 1주 투여군(NDMA 군), NDMA 1주 투여 후 녹차 1주 투여군(NDMAGT군), 녹차와 NDMA 1주 투여군(GTNDMA군) 및 녹차 1주 사육 후 녹차와 NDMA 투여군(GTGTNDMA군)으로 나누어 점액질의 조직화학적 성상을 PAS 반응, AB pH 2.5 염색, AB pH 2.5-PAS 염색, AF pH 1.7-AB pH 2.5 염색 및 HID-AB pH 2.5 염색법으로 관찰하였다. NDMA군에서 혀 von Ebner 샘의 형태적인 주된 변화는 장액샘꽈리의 위축 및 파괴, 장액세포의 세포질 과립의 감소 및 소실, 세포질의 공포변성 그리고 도관상피세포의 점액화였으며 혀 점액샘의 주된 형태적 변화는 점액샘꽈리의 확장, 융합, 파괴 및 점액세포의 세포질의 과립 소실 및 공포변성, 도관상피의 점액화였다. NDMAGT군에서는 회복되는 경향이 나타났고 GTNDMA 군에 비해 GTGTNDMA군에서 대조군으로 현저히 회복되었음이 관찰되었다. 혀 von Ebner샘의 중성점액질 양은 대조군에 비해 NDMA군에서 감소되었으나 NDMAGT군, GTNDMA군에서 회복되는 경향을 나타났으며 GTGTNDMA 군에서는 대조군에 비해 중성점액질의 염색성이 더 강했다. NDMA군에서 혀 점액샘의 중성점액질과 산성점액질의 양은 대조군에 비해 감소하였는데, 산성점액질 중 강 sulfomucin을 분비하는 점액샘꽈리는 대조군에 비해 감소하고 non-sulfomucin(sialomucin)을 분비하는 점액샘꽈리는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 녹차를 투여한 모든 실험군들에서 는 회복되는 경향이 나타났는데 NDMAGT군보다 GTNDMA 군에서 더 많은 회복을 보였으며, GTGTNDMA군에서는 대조군과 거의 유사한 수준으로의 회복이 관찰되었다.
