Histogenetic concepts for salivary gland tumors are predicated on the presence of reserve or undifferentiated cells in normal glands, presumably the source for cell renewal and induction of tumors. Developing rat parotid gland, which remains fetal-like at birth, provides the opportunity to study differentiation and observe whether cytologically undifferentiated cells do or do not have functional indicators of specific differentiation pathways. Immunohistochemistry and immuno-electron microscopy, when applied to parotid gland at birth, at 12 days of age and in the adult gland, indicate that commitment to myoepithelial cell differentiation occurs prior to development of structural changes characteristic of these cells. Conversely, secretory granules are evident in differentiating acinar cells prior to synthesis of amylase. The results suggest that an appearance of undifferentiation does not confer reserve cell status either in the normal salivary gland or their tumors.

D000199 Actins Filamentous proteins that are the main constituent of the thin filaments of muscle fibers.

This is known as globular or G-actin. In conjunction with MYOSINS, actin is responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscle.
