摘要
Subtype-specific antibodies were used to measure purinergic (P2X) receptor expression in the rat prostate. In mature Wistar rats, apoptosis and expression of P2X(1), P2X(2), P2X(5) and P2X(7) subtypes were all significantly decreased compared with the levels found in immature rat prostates. Accompanying this age-related reduction in purinergic calcium channel expression was a reduction in epithelial and stromal calcium as well as the calcium-regulating hormone stanniocalcin. In contrast, expression of P2X(3), P2X(4) and P2X(6) increased with age. These results suggest that distinct changes in P2X subtype expression accompany apoptosis in the rat prostate.
