Pannexins (Panx) form ATP-release channels and have been proposed to play an important role in the regulation of vascular tone. However, distribution of Panx across the arterial vasculature is not documented. We tested antibodies against Panx1, Panx2 and Panx3 on HEK cells (which do not endogenously express Panx proteins) transfected with plasmids encoding each pannexin isoform and Panx1−/− mice. Each of the Panx antibodies was found to be specific and was tested on isolated arteries using immunocytochemistry. We demonstrate that Panx1 is the primary isoform detected in the arterial network. In large arteries, Panx1 was primarily in endothelial cells, whereas in small arteries and arterioles Panx1 localizes primarily to the smooth muscle cells. In coronary arteries Panx1 was the predominant isoform expressed, except in arteries less than 100 μm Panx3 became detectable. Only Panx3 was expressed in the juxtaglomerular apparatus and cortical arterioles. The pulmonary artery and alveoli had expression of all three Panx isoforms. No Panx isoforms were detected at the myoendothelial junctions. We conclude that the specific localized expression of Panx channels throughout the vasculature points towards an important role for these channels in regulating the release of ATP throughout the arterial network.
