Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Pediatric Hearing Loss Along the Texas–Mexico Border

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Project GIVE provided evaluations and genome sequencing to 23 children with hearing loss along the Texas–Mexico border. Seventy percent received a molecular diagnosis and 56% of those diagnosed had changes to medical management. In this region, underdiagnosis of genetic hearing loss is due to care barriers rather than lower genetic burden.

The oligodendroglial precursor cell line Oli-neu represents a cell culture system to examine functional expression of the mouse gap junction gene connexin29 (Cx29)

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
The potential gap junction forming mouse connexin29 (Cx29) protein is concomitantly expressed with connexin32 (Cx32) in peripheral myelin forming Schwann cells and together with both Cx32 and connexin47 (Cx47) in oligodendrocytes of the CNS. To study the

Hunting for connexin hemichannels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Connexin hemichannels (connexons) are building blocks of gap junctions but also function as free unapposed channels, which has become an active field of research.

Connexins and the atrioventricular node

open access: yesHeart Rhythm, 2013
The structure and functioning of the atrioventricular (AV) node has remained mysterious owing to its high degree of complexity. In this review article, we integrate advances in knowledge regarding connexin expression in the AV node. Complex patterning of 4 different connexin isoforms with single channel conductances ranging from ultralow to high ...

Regulation of connexin 43 channels by PKC-mediated phosphorylation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Gap-junctional channels communicate adjacent cells electrically and metabolically. They are formed by 4-transmembrane helix proteins called connexins; six connexins form a connexon (or gap-junctional hemichannel) and two of these, one from each ...

Chd4 and ThPOK cooperate to preserve structural and electrophysiological integrity of the adult heart through Sprr1a repression

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Chd4/NuRD and ThPOK cooperate to maintain transcriptional repression and nuclear organization in adult cardiomyocytes. Chd4 loss reduces miR‐150‐5p, relieving repression of Sprr1a, while ThPOK loss further enhances Sprr1a activation, possibly through altered chromatin–lamina interactions.

Astrocytic connexin43 phosphorylation contributes to seizure susceptibility after mild traumatic brain injury

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Astrocytic gap junctions formed by connexin43 (Cx43) help maintain brain homeostasis. After mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), total cortical Cx43 increases and redistributes toward a soluble, non‐junctional pool with elevated hemichannel activity and increased phosphorylation at serine 368 (pCx43S368).

ATP and mechanisms of central CO2 chemosensitivity [PDF]

open access: yes
ATP release from the surface of the ventro-lateral medulla (VLM) is integral to the hypercapnic response in vivo and can be seen in vitro. By employing horizontal slices of the ventral medulla containing the ventral chemosensitive nuclei, I have ...

From senescence and inflammaging to systemic comorbidities: Drivers of aging‐associated periodontitis

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Aging is accompanied by a chronic low‐grade inflammatory process, known as inflammaging, as well as immunosenescence, an age‐related decline and dysregulation of immune function, and cellular senescence, a process in which cells enter a state of irreversible growth arrest while actively releasing pro‐inflammatory factors.
