概括

味觉敏感性随着年龄的增长而变化,但分子原因尚不清楚. 这项研究在小鼠中发现关键味觉受体细胞 (II型和III型) 的比例没有与年龄相关的变化,这表明其他因素也会影响味觉的下降.

科学领域:

* 感官生物学感官生物学
* 老年学是一门学科.
* 味觉的分子机制

背景情况:

*与年龄相关的味觉敏感度下降是一个常见的观察.
* 驱动这些变化的特定分子机制在很大程度上仍未被阐明.
*味蕾包括各种细胞类型,其中II类和III类细胞对于味道信号传递至关重要.

研究的目的:

* 研究一种假设,即味觉细胞类型的比例变化有助于与年龄相关的味觉变化.
* 为了比较年轻小鼠与老年小鼠的II型和III型细胞标记物的表达模式.

主要方法:

*对年轻和老老小鼠的环状乳头上的味蕾进行分析.
*使用抗体对特定的II型 (Gustducin,PLCβ2) 和III型 (SEMA3A,CAR4) 细胞标记物的双光染色.
* 免疫阳性细胞的量化,以确定细胞类型的比例.

主要成果:

*在年轻小鼠和老小鼠之间,Gustducin,SEMA3A,PLCβ2或CAR4阳性细胞的百分比没有显著差异.
* II型和III型味觉受体细胞的比例在各个年龄组保持一致.

结论:

* 味蕾的细胞组成,特别是II型和III型细胞的比例,似乎不会随着年龄的增长而改变.
*这些发现表明,与年龄相关的味觉敏感性变化可能是由除了这些初级味觉细胞类型的比例变化之外的其他机制调解的.

Taste Buds and Receptors

Taste Buds and Receptors

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mouse Models of Cancer Study

Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...

The Tongue and Taste Buds

The Tongue and Taste Buds

The surface of the tongue is covered with various small bumps called papillae, which either distribute what has been ingested (filiform papillae) or contain the sensory taste (or gustatory) receptor cells (fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate papillae). Embedded within each taste-related papilla are the taste buds—clusters of 30 to 100 gustatory receptor cells.
