Mouse Panx1 Is Dispensable for Hearing Acquisition and Auditory Function [PDF]
, 2017 Panx1 forms plasma membrane channels in brain and several other organs, including the inner ear. Biophysical properties, activation mechanisms and modulators of Panx1 channels have been characterized in detail, however the impact of Panx1 on auditory ...

Connexin 43 contributes to ectopic orofacial pain following inferior alveolar nerve injury
Molecular Pain, 2016 Background Clinically, it is well known that injury of mandibular nerve fiber induces persistent ectopic pain which can spread to a wide area of the orofacial region innervated by the uninjured trigeminal nerve branches.

Visfatin reduces gap junction mediated cell-to-cell communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells [PDF]
, 2013 Background/Aims: In the current study we examined if the adipocytokine, visfatin, alters connexin-mediated intercellular communication in proximal tubule-derived epithelial cells.

Glia, EarlyView.Cell culture studies show disrupted astrocyte physiology in the leukodystrophy MLC. Are intact astrocytes similarly affected? This study on astrocytes in MLC mouse brain slices confirms and extends in vitro studies on altered astrocyte physiology. ABSTRACT Electrical signaling, driven by ion fluxes between intra‐ and extracellular compartments, is ...

Connexins and apoptotic transformation [PDF]
Biochemical Pharmacology, 2003 We examined the influence of connexin (Cx) expression on the development of apoptosis in HeLa parental cells (coupling deficient cell line) and HeLa cells expressing wild-type Cx43 and Cxs fused with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP). EGFP was attached to the C-terminus of Cx32 and Cx43, Cx32-EGFP and Cx43-EGFP, respectively, and to the N ...

Loss of Cx43 in Murine Sertoli Cells Leads to Altered Prepubertal Sertoli Cell Maturation and Impairment of the Mitosis-Meiosis Switch. [PDF]
, 2020 Male factor infertility is a problem in today's society but many underlying causes are still unknown. The generation of a conditional Sertoli cell (SC)-specific connexin 43 (Cx43) knockout mouse line (SCCx43KO) has provided a translational model ...

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...

Newly identified NO-sensor guanylyl cyclase/connexin 43 association is involved in cardiac electrical function [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Guanylyl cyclase, a heme-containing alpha 1 beta 1 heterodimer (GC1), produces cGMP in response to Nitric oxide (NO) stimulation. The NO-GC1-cGMP pathway negatively regulates cardiomyocyte contractility and protects against cardiac ...
