摘要

Abstract It has long been known that the main secretory cells of exocrine and endocrine glands are connected by gap junctions, made by a variety of connexin species that ensure their electrical and metabolic coupling. Experiments in culture systems and animal models have since provided increasing evidence that connexin signaling contributes to control the biosynthesis and release of secretory products, as well as to the life and death of secretory cells. More recently, genetic studies have further provided the first lines of evidence that connexins also control the function of human glands, which are central to the pathogenesis of major endocrine diseases. Here, we summarize the recent information gathered on connexin signaling in these systems, since the last reviews on the topic, with particular regard to the pancreatic beta cells which produce insulin, and the renal cells which produce renin. These cells are keys to the development of various forms of diabetes and hypertension, respectively, and combine to account for the exploding, worldwide prevalence of the metabolic syndrome. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Gap Junction Proteins edited by Jean Claude Herve. Highlights ? Connexins couple the cells of all endocrine glands ? Connexins often change with hormone secretion ? Cx36 modulates insulin secretion and survival of pancreatic β-cells ? Loss of Cx36 causes β-cell alterations typical of diabetes ? A SNP decreases Cx36 expression in diabetic patients ? Cx40 modulates renin secretion by epithelo?d renal cells ? Loss of Cx40 induces renin-dependent hypertension ? Cx40 mutations associate with forms of human hypertension

Connexins耦合所有内分泌腺的细胞? Connexins经常用激素分泌改变? CX36调节胰岛素分泌和胰腺β细胞的存活? CX36的丧失会导致β-细胞改变典型的糖尿病? SNP降低糖尿病患者的CX36表达? CX40通过上皮细胞调节肾素分泌物吗? CX40的丧失诱导肾内依赖性高血压? CX40突变与人的高血压形式相关联
