    Drug-induced taste disorders are a serious problem in an aging society. This study investigated the mechanisms underlying taste disturbances induced by diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins by cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2). RT-PCR analyses demonstrated the expression of genes encoding arachidonic acid pathway components such as COX-1, COX-2 and prostaglandin synthases in a subset of mouse taste bud cells. Double-staining immunohistochemistry revealed that COX-1 and cytosolic prostaglandin E synthase (cPGES) were co-expressed with taste receptor type-1 member-3 (T1R3), a sweet/umami receptor component, or gustducin, a bitter/sweet/umami-related G protein, in a subset of taste bud cells. Long-term administration of diclofenac reduced the expression of genes encoding COX-1, gustducin and cPGES in mouse taste buds and suppressed both the behavioral and taste nerve responses to sweet and umami taste stimuli but not to other tastants. Furthermore, diclofenac also suppressed the responses of both mouse and human sweet taste receptors (T1R2/T1R3, expressed in HEK293 cells) to sweet taste stimuli. These results suggest that diclofenac may suppress the activation of sweet and umami taste cells acutely via a direct action on T1R2/T1R3 and chronically via inhibition of the COX/prostaglandin synthase pathway inducing down-regulated expression of sweet/umami responsive components. This dual inhibition mechanism may underlie diclofenac-induced taste alterations in humans.

    Drug-induced taste disorders reduce quality of life, but little is known about the molecular mechanisms by which drugs induce taste disturbances. In this study, we investigated the short- and long-term effects of the antiarrhythmic drug flecainide, which is known to cause taste dysfunction. Analyses of behavioral responses (licking tests) revealed that mice given a single intraperitoneal injection of flecainide exhibited a significant reduction in preference for a sour tastant (HCl) but not for other taste solutions (NaCl, quinine, sucrose, KCl and monopotassium glutamate) when compared with controls. Mice administered a single dose of flecainide also had significantly higher taste nerve responses to HCl but not to other taste solutions. Compared with controls, mice administered flecainide once-daily for 30 days showed a reduced preference for HCl without any changes in the behavioral responses to other taste solutions. The electrophysiological experiments using HEK293T cells transiently expressing otopetrin-1 (Otop1, the mouse sour taste receptor) showed that flecainide rarely altered the responses to HCl. Taken together, our results suggest that flecainide specifically enhances the response to HCl in mice during short- and long- term administration. Although further studies will be needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms, these findings provide new insights into the pathophysiology of drug-induced taste disorders.Significance StatementDrug-induced taste disorders reduce quality of life and can lead to nutritional disturbances. However, little is known about its molecular mechanisms. We focused on the antiarrhythmic drug flecainide inducing "unpleasant or bad taste" in human patients. Mice administered a single dose of flecainide exhibited a reduced preference for and higher taste nerve responses to HCl, sour tastants specifically. Flecainide had little change in response to HCl in HEK293T cells expressing the sour taste receptor, proton channel otopetrin-1 (Otop1). Our results suggest that flecainide enhances the responses of sour-sensing taste cells to HCl. Although further studies will be needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms, these findings provide new insights into the pathophysiology of drug-induced taste disorders.

  • Adrenomedullin Enhances Mouse Gustatory Nerve Responses to Sugars via T1R-Independent Sweet Taste Pathway Reviewed International journal

    On the tongue, the T1R-independent pathway (comprising glucose transporters, including sodium–glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) and the KATP channel) detects only sugars, whereas the T1R-dependent (T1R2/T1R3) pathway can broadly sense various sweeteners. Cephalic-phase insulin release, a rapid release of insulin induced by sensory signals in the head after food-related stimuli, reportedly depends on the T1R-independent pathway, and the competitive sweet taste modulators leptin and endocannabinoids may function on these two different sweet taste pathways independently, suggesting independent roles of two oral sugar-detecting pathways in food intake. Here, we examined the effect of adrenomedullin (ADM), a multifunctional regulatory peptide, on sugar sensing in mice since it affects the expression of SGLT1 in rat enterocytes. We found that ADM receptor components were expressed in T1R3-positive taste cells. Analyses of chorda tympani (CT) nerve responses revealed that ADM enhanced responses to sugars but not to artificial sweeteners and other tastants. Moreover, ADM increased the apical uptake of a fluorescent D-glucose derivative into taste cells and SGLT1 mRNA expression in taste buds. These results suggest that the T1R-independent sweet taste pathway in mouse taste cells is a peripheral target of ADM, and the specific enhancement of gustatory nerve responses to sugars by ADM may contribute to caloric sensing and food intake.

    The sweet taste receptor plays an essential role as an energy sensor by detecting carbohydrates. However, the dynamic mechanisms of receptor activation remain unclear. Here, we describe the interactions between the transmembrane domain of the G protein-coupled sweet receptor subunit, TAS1R3, and allosteric modulators. Molecular dynamics simulations reproduced species-specific sensitivity to ligands. We found that a human-specific sweetener, cyclamate, interacted with the mouse receptor as a negative allosteric modulator. Agonist-induced allostery during receptor activation was found to destabilize the intracellular part of the receptor, which potentially interfaces with the Gα subunit, through ionic lock opening. A common human variant (R757C) of the TAS1R3 exhibited a reduced response to sweet taste, in support of our predictions. Furthermore, histidine residues in the binding site acted as pH-sensitive microswitches to modulate the sensitivity to saccharin. This study provides important insights that may facilitate the prediction of dynamic activation mechanisms for other G protein-coupled receptors.

    Mammalian taste bud cells are composed of several distinct cell types and differentiated from surrounding tongue epithelial cells. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying their differentiation have yet to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined an Ascl1-expressing cell lineage using circumvallate papillae (CVP) of newborn mice and taste organoids (three-dimensional self-organized tissue cultures), which allow studying the differentiation of taste bud cells in fine detail ex vivo. Using lineage-tracing analysis, we observed that Ascl1 lineage cells expressed type II and III taste cell markers both CVP of newborn mice and taste organoids. However, the coexpression rate in type II cells was lower than that in type III cells. Furthermore, we found that the generation of the cells which express type II and III cell markers was suppressed in taste organoids lacking Ascl1-expressing cells. These findings suggest that Ascl1-expressing precursor cells can differentiate into both type III and a subset of type II taste cells.

    Little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying drug-induced taste disorders, which can cause malnutrition and reduce quality of life. One of taste disorders is known adverse effects of bisphosphonates, which are administered as anti-osteoporotic drugs. Therefore, the present study evaluated the effects of risedronate (a bisphosphonate) on taste bud cells. Expression analyses revealed that farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FDPS, a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway) was present in a subset of mouse taste bud and tongue epithelial cells, especially type III sour-sensitive taste cells. Other mevalonate pathway-associated molecules were also detected in mouse taste buds. Behavioral analyses revealed that mice administered risedronate exhibited a significantly enhanced aversion to HCl but not for other basic taste solutions, whereas the taste nerve responses were not affected by risedronate. Additionally, the taste buds of mice administered risedronate exhibited significantly lower mRNA expression of desmoglein-2, an integral component of desmosomes. Taken together, these findings suggest that risedronate may interact directly with FDPS to inhibit the mevalonate pathway in taste bud and tongue epithelial cells, thereby affecting the expression of desmoglein-2 related with epithelial barrier function, which may lead to alterations in behavioral responses to HCl via somatosensory nerves.

In the present study, participants in Project 2019 were tested for sweet, salty, sour, and bitter taste thresholds, and 1027 participants for whom data were available were included in the analysis.</p><p> A comparison of the taste thresholds among the age groups showed that the sour and salty tastes thresholds increased significantly with age, and the thresholds for all tastes was significantly lower in women than in men. In addition, decreased serum zinc levels were not necessarily associated with decreased taste, but decreased serum zinc levels and decreased taste were more frequently observed in the elderly. There were quite a few patients who were not aware of any taste disorder, even though they had a decreased sense of taste on examination. This indicates that there are potential patients with taste disorders.</p>

    アンジオテンシンIIは、視床下部、副腎や血管などに発現するAT1受容体を介して、血圧や体内Na+濃度を調節する鍵ホルモンとして知られている。我々は、このアンジオテンシンIIが末梢の味覚器にも働き、塩味感受性を低下させNaCl溶液の摂取量を増加させること、さらに甘味感受性を増強することで糖分摂取にも影響することを明らかにした。この"味覚を介したNa+/糖ホメオスタシス維持機構"のさらなる解明は、高血圧や肥満・糖尿病などの生活習慣病に対する新たな予防・治療法の開発"に繋がることが期待される。(著者抄録)

    味覚の異常は、口腔のみならず全身の臓器でも生じ、摂食嚥下障害や生活習慣病の発症原因となる可能性が示唆されている。しかし、この味覚異常発症の分子機構はほとんど不明である。そこで本研究では、この「真の原因」を明らかにするために大規模健診における味覚検査データと、それと紐付けされた約2000項目の健康Big Dataとの多元的な相関解析を行うことにより味覚異常の原因因子を追求することに挑戦する。

    現在、様々な生活習慣病、特に肥満や糖尿病が世界的に深刻な問題となっている。これらの疾病の根本的な予防と治療には、食事を含む生活習慣への介入が不可欠であり、それには我々の摂食行動が味覚を通じてどのように形成されるかを理解する必要がある。我々の口腔内に存在する味蕾は、表面側に発現する味受容体で味物質を感知し、基底側に接続する神経にその情報を伝達することで、多様な味情報を中枢へと伝えている。この味蕾が持つ極性は、味覚器の機能を理解する上で極めて重要であるが、その形成メカニズムには不明な点が多い。本研究では、味細胞培養系である味蕾オルガノイドを手掛かりに、味細胞の極性形成メカニズムの解明を目指す。

    Taste disorders present with symptoms such as "no taste, always bitter," and significantly reduces not only quality of life but also nutritional status. However, its pathogenesis is largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the molecular basis of taste disorders through the use of pharmacological action of various drugs. In this study, we developed mouse models with taste disorder induced by administration of anticancer drugs, osteoporosis drug bisphosphonate, antiarrhythmic drug flecainide and antipyretic analgesic diclofenac. Using molecular biological, neurological and behavioral analyses, and taste bud organoid technology, we clarified the molecular mechanism of the onset of each taste disorders. These results would be expected to lead to the development of novel preventive and therapeutic methods for taste disorders.
