摘要

Connexin 43 (Cx43) has been reported to be expressed in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. Evidence for possible variations in Cx43 distribution within different parts of the vascular system is limited. We have therefore investigated the expression of Cx43 in the endothelia and media of 11 vessels of different size and function in the rat, using immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results showed that punctate Cx43 staining was abundant in the endothelia and media of all of the 5 elastic arteries examined. In the media, the amount of Cx43 staining decreased as the size of the elastic arteries became smaller. In the 6 muscular arteries examined, 2 different patterns of Cx43 staining were observed. In the first type, Cx43 expression was high in the endothelium but virtually absent from the media. Mesenteric resistance, hepatic and tail arteries were examples. In the second type, Cx43 staining was absent from both the media and the endothelia. The coronary, basilar, and middle cerebral arteries showed this appearance. The results suggest that expression of Cx43 is largely restricted to elastic arteries in the arterial system of the rat. The lack of immunodetectable Cx43 from the media of all muscular arteries examined, and from the endothelia of some of these arteries, raises the possibility of significant differences in the form of expression of Cx43 in these vessels or the presence of other connexins.
