• W2057981516 abstract "Myometrial smooth myocytes contract as a result of electrical signalling via a process called excitation-contraction coupling. This process is understood in great detail at the cellular level but the generation and coordination of electrical signals throughout the myometrium are incompletely understood. Recent evidence concerning the vital role of interstitial cells of Cajal in tissue-level signalling in gastrointestinal tract, and the presence of similar cells in urinary tract smooth muscle may be relevant for future research into myometrial contractility but there remains a lack of evidence regarding these cells in the myometrium. Single stain immunohistochemical and double stain immunofluorescence techniques visualised antibodies directed against total connexin 43, unphosphorylated connexin 43, KIT, alpha-SMA and prolyl 4-hydroxylase in myometrial biopsies from 26 women representing all stages of reproductive life. Myometrial smooth myocytes from term uterine biopsies expressed connexin 43 in a punctate pattern typical of gap junctions. However, on the boundaries of the smooth muscle bundles, cells were present with a more uniform staining pattern. These cells continued to possess the same staining characteristics in non-pregnant biopsies whereas the smooth myocytes no longer expressed connexin 43. Immunohistochemistry using an antibody directed against connexin 43 unphosphorylated at serine 368 showed that it is this isoform that is expressed continually by these cells. Double-stain immunofluorescence for unphosphorylated connexin 43 and KIT, an established marker for interstitial cells, revealed a complete match indicating these cells are myometrial interstitial cells (MICs). MICs had elongated cell processes and were located mainly on the surface of the smooth muscle bundles and within the fibromuscular septum. No particular arrangement of cells as plexuses was observed. Antibody to prolyl 4-hydroxylase identified fibroblasts as separate from MICs. MICs are identified consistently on the boundaries of smooth muscle bundles in both the pregnant and non-pregnant uterus and are distinct from fibroblasts. The uniform distribution of connexin 43 on the cell membrane of MICs, rather than localisation in gap junction plaques, may represent the presence of connexin hemichannels. This antibody specificity may aid future study of this potentially important cell type." @default.
