摘要

Gap junction (GJ) channels assembled from connexin (Cx) proteins provide a structural basis for direct electrical and metabolic cell-cell communication. By combining fluorescence imaging and dual whole-cell voltage clamp methods, we demonstrate that in response to transjunctional voltage (V_j) Cx43/Cx45 heterotypic GJs exhibit both V_j-gating and dye transfer asymmetries. The later is affected by ionophoresis of charged fluorescent dyes and voltage-dependent gating. We demonstrate that small differences in resting (holding) potentials of communicating cells can fully block (at relative negativity on Cx45 side) or enhance (at relative positivity on Cx45 side) dye transfer. Similarly, series of high frequency V_j pulses resembling bursts of action potentials (APs) can fully block or increase the transjunctional flux (J_j) of dye depending on whether pulses are generated in the cell expressing Cx43 or Cx45, respectively. Asymmetry of J_j-V_j dependence is enhanced or reduced when ionophoresis and V_j-gating act synergistically or antagonistically, whereas single channel permeability (P_γ) remains unaffected. This modulation of intercellular signaling by V_j can play a crucial role in many aspects of intercellular communication in the adult, in embryonic development, and in tissue regeneration.
