Connexins in atherosclerosis

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2013
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall, involves multiple cell types of different origins, and complex interactions and signaling pathways between them. Autocrine and paracrine communication pathways provided by cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and lipid mediators are central to atherogenesis.

Cx43 channels and signaling via IP3/Ca2+, ATP, and ROS/NO propagate radiation-induced DNA damage to non-irradiated brain microvascular endothelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Radiotherapeutic treatment consists of targeted application of radiation beams to a tumor but exposure of surrounding healthy tissue is inevitable.

Diet-dependent immunohistochemical evaluation of connexin 43 in the sheep rumen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The objective of this study was to characterize the immunohistochemical localization of plasma membrane connexin 43 in the rumen of sheep after changing the diet from hay (ad libitum) to a mixed hay/concentrate diet.

Gap junction protein Connexin-43 is a direct transcriptional regulator of N-cadherin in vivo

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Connexins are the primary components of gap junctions, providing direct links between cells under many physiological processes. Here, we demonstrate that in addition to this canonical role, Connexins act as transcriptional regulators.

Connexin Hemichannels in Astrocytes: Role in CNS Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
In the central nervous system (CNS), astrocytes form networks interconnected by gap junctions made from connexins of the subtypes Cx30 and Cx43. When unopposed by an adjoining hemichannel, astrocytic connexins can act as hemichannels to control the ...

Connexin 43 Affects Osteogenic Differentiation of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament Cells via Regulation of ERK Activity by Stabilizing Runx2 in Ossification

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Aims: Connexin 43 is one of the most potent gap junction proteins related to osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. We hypothesized that Connexin 43 is a significant factor in osteogenic differentiation in the posterior longitudinal ligament ...

Extracellular cysteine in connexins: Role as redox sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Indexación: Scopus.Connexin-based channels comprise hemichannels and gap junction channels. The opening of hemichannels allow for the flux of ions and molecules from the extracellular space into the cell and vice versa.

Adenovirus-mediated delivery of bFGF small interfering RNA increases levels of connexin 43 in the glioma cell line, U251

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2010
Background bFGF is an important growth factor for glioma cell proliferation and invasion, while connexin 43 is implicated in the suppression of glioma growth.
