摘要: 缝隙连接(gap junctions,GJs)沟通相邻两个细胞的胞质,介导离子、第二信使和小分子代谢物的交流及电、生化耦联,调节细胞的增殖、分化和代谢等过程。GJs数量和功能状态受多种机制调控,在机体组织内处于动态变化中。妊娠过程中,子宫GJs的变化适时调整子宫平滑肌细胞和内膜细胞的增殖分化,调节子宫平滑肌的收缩性,使子宫适应妊娠不同阶段的要求,在胚胎植入、胎盘和胚胎发育、分娩发动和调节产程及妊娠结局中都起着不可缺少的作用。

Abstract: Gap junctions, which are specialized regions in cellular membranes, allow intercellular communication and the transfer of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells. They not only mediate electrical and biochemical coupling between cells but also regulate many physiological events, including cell proliferation, differentiation and metabolism. Due to the regulation of multiple mechanism, GJs exist dynamically. During one's pregnancy, GJs timely adjust the cells proliferation and differentiation in myometrium and endometrial, then regulate uterine contraction to suit different stages of pregnancy. Thus, GJs play an essential role in the embryo implantation, placenta and embryo development, onset of labor even the regulation of parturient and pregnancy outcome.
