In vivo genetic manipulation of inner ear connexin expression by bovine adeno-associated viral vectors

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We have previously shown that in vitro transduction with bovine adeno–associated viral (BAAV) vectors restores connexin expression and rescues gap junction coupling in cochlear organotypic cultures from connexin–deficient mice that are models DFNB1 ...

Triggered Calcium Lightning Programs Cochlear Development

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Summary: Before the onset of hearing, the developing inner ear generates spontaneous calcium signals that are thought to guide maturation. In this study, we discovered a rapid and widespread calcium flash—dubbed “Ca2+ lightning”—originating from supporting cells beneath the sensory hair cells, which triggers coordinated calcium waves across the entire ...

The Opening of Connexin 43 Hemichannels Alters Hippocampal Astrocyte Function and Neuronal Survival in Prenatally LPS-Exposed Adult Offspring

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Clinical evidence has revealed that children born from mothers exposed to viral and bacterial pathogens during pregnancy are more likely to suffer various neurological disorders including schizophrenia, autism bipolar disorder, major depression, epilepsy,

Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...

Osteoarthritis: An Immuno‐Inflammatory Disease‐Mechanisms of Immune Cell Dysregulation and Potential Therapeutic Strategies

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the immuno‐inflammatory mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), extending beyond the traditional view of OA as a purely degenerative disease to incorporate immune cell infiltration, inflammatory factor release, and the formation of a chronic low‐grade inflammatory microenvironment.

Gap junctions in hematopoietic stroma control proliferation and differentiation of blood cell precursors

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2004
We examined gap junction communication in an in vitro model of hematopoiesis, using the murine bone marrow stroma cell line S-17, and primary cultures of murine marrow-derived blood cell precursors.

ATP Releasing Connexin 30 Hemichannels Mediate Flow-Induced Calcium Signaling in the Collecting Duct

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2013
ATP in the renal tubular fluid is an important regulator of salt and water reabsorption via purinergic calcium signaling that involves the P2Y2 receptor, ENaC and AQP2.

Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

Structure and Function of Cochlear Gap Junctions and Implications for the Translation of Cochlear Gene Therapies

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Connexins (Cxs) are ubiquitous membrane proteins that are found throughout vertebrate organs, acting as building blocks of the gap junctions (GJs) known to play vital roles in the normal function of many organs.
