Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the structure and the glycoconjugate properties of the olfactory mucosa in the rat after inhalation of xylene. Sprague-Dawley male rats were inhalated 300 ppm xylene for 5 times with 5 hours exposure. The olfactory mucosa in the nasal cavity was taken from the animals on 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 days after inhalation of xylene. The properties of the glycoconjugates in the olfactory mucosa were investigated using 10 biotinylated lectins: (PSA, UEA I, PHA-L, GSL I B4, GSL I, PNA, ECL, SBA, GSL II, and sWGA). In the experimental groups, degenerative changes of the olfactory epithelium were observed until 20 days after inhalation of xylene. In the control group, the olfactory cells in the olfactory epithelium reacted with PSA, UEA I, PNA, SBA, and sWGA, the supporting cells reacted with PSA, PHA-L, GSL I, PNA, ECL, SBA, GSL II, and sWGA, and the Bowman's glands reacted with all 10 lectins. In the experimental groups, the reactivity to PSA, PNA, and SBA in the olfactory cells were decreased, and the reactivity to PSA, PNA, SBA, and GSL II in the supporting cells were decreased. And in the Bowman's gland, the reactivity to PSA, UEA I, GSL I, and sWGA were decreased. Conclusively, the olfactory mucosa was shown a lot of changes in the structure through degenerative process and in the properties of the glycoconjugates after inhalation of xylene. These results suggest that the sugar residues of the glycoconjugates in the olfactory mucosa can be changed by xylene inhalation.
