关于造血祖细胞(HPC)和基质细胞间是否存在功能性的通道连接,一直存在着争议。原始的CD34+的HPC与人类骨髓基质细胞系L87/4共培养。利用具有高度敏感性的全细胞钳技术,可以发现大多数的(91%)CD34+的HPC与L87/4间有电流交流。更重要的是,)CD34+的HPC依附在L87/4后的1小时内可以观察到有效的偶联。通过对比,由L87/4组成的同类细胞间有显著更高的电偶联。单通道导电率分析发现了一种形式,以connexin43型通道连接为特征,对于同类和不同类的细胞都是这样的。这个Cx表型通过Cx-43特异性的单克隆抗体流式细胞仪分析和RT-PCR的验证。最后,染料转染实验利用降落伞技术使得染料扩散而不影响浆膜成分,这个实验是对电生理实验的补充。总的来说,我们的数据表明,功能性的Cx-43型通道连接存在于基质细胞和未成熟的造血祖细胞中,可能提供造血过程中一个重要的调节通道。6 Q; }8 f+ ]& n( a5 h: ?

Analysis of singlechannel conductances revealed an electric profile characteristic of connexin 43 (Cx43)-type gap junctions for both homologous and heterologous cell pairs. The Cx phenotype was confirmed using Cx43-specific monoclonal antibodies in a flow cytometric assay and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of Cx43 mRNA. Finally, the electrophysiological studies were complemented by dye-transfer experiments using the recently described `parachute' technique that allows the monitoring of dye diffusion without disruption of the plasma membrane. Taken together, our data indicate that functional Cx43-type gap junctions exist between stromal cells and immature HPCs and, thus, may provide an important regulatory pathway in haematopoiesis.$ c9 v3 w% ?5 J1 \% ]& C9 @
