Innervation of the canine mammary gland: an immunohistochemical study.

Abstract:

:The distribution of peptidergic nerves in canine mammary tissues was studied by immunohistochemical techniques. In addition, the general and the noradrenergic innervations were demonstrated using protein gene product 9.5 and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivities as markers, respectively. Tissue specimens from the caudal mammary glands were obtained from adult, non-lactating, female dogs. The overall innervation of the mammary gland tissue was sparse and primarily associated with the arterial vasculature. Nerve fibres positive for protein gene product 9.5 were rarely found in the secretory parenchyma. The nipple was not richly innervated, although it displayed a greater amount of nerve fibres than the mammary parenchyma. Nerve fibres supplying nonvascular structures of the nipple expressed immunoreactivity for the sensory neuropeptides calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P and neuropeptide K, but not for vasoactive intestinal peptide, peptide histidine isoleucine and C-flanking peptide of neuropeptide Y. Somatostatin immunoreactivity was not detected in mammary gland tissue. Our results indicate that the innervation of the canine mammary gland is mainly affiliated with the vasculature and comprises peptidergic nerves which may be involved in the regulation of local blood flow. The presence of sensory neuropeptides in nerves supplying the mammary nipple suggest that these peptides may play a role in the afferent pathway of the milk ejection reflex.
