- W2051249429 abstract "Gap junctions are specialized membrane structures that mediate intercellular communication and facilitate passage of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells. Connexins comprise a multigene family of transmembrane proteins that form gap junctions. Connexin-32 and connexin-43 are among the most abundant connexins in brain and are highly expressed during development. Connexin-32 is expressed primarily in oligodendrocytes and connexin-43 in astrocytes in adult brain. However, both connexins are expressed in neurons during development. We examined the effects of ontogeny on connexin-32 and connexin-43 protein abundance in cerebral cortices of sheep during development. Western immunoblot was used to measure connexin-32 and connexin-43 expression in cerebral cortices of fetuses at 60%, 80%, and 90% of gestation, in newborn lambs and adult sheep. Values were expressed as ratios to a single adult control cerebral cortical sample. Connexin-32 abundance was higher (P<0.05) in cerebral cortices of fetuses at 60% of gestation (3.0+/-0.68, mean+/-SD), than in those at 90% of gestation (1.7+/-0.3), in newborn (1.8+/-0.55), and adult sheep (0.84+/-0.19), respectively. In contrast, connexin-43 abundance was higher (P<0.05) in cerebral cortices of fetuses at 90% of gestation (0.44+/-0.17), newborn (0.69+/-0.12) and adult sheep (1.14+/-0.13), than in those at 60% of gestation (0.05+/-0.01). We conclude that (1) connexin-32 and connexin-43 protein are expressed early in fetal life and throughout development, (2) each connexin displays a unique pattern of change with development, (3) connexin-43 exhibited ontogenic increases in protein abundance, whereas, connexin-32 exhibited reciprocal decreases in abundance late in fetal development, in newborn and adult sheep." @default.
