Dynamic changes in connexin expression correlate with key events in the wound healing process. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Wound healing is a complex process requiring communication for the precise co-ordination of different cell types. The role of extracellular communication through growth factors in the wound healing process has been extensively documented, but the role of

Effect of Transjunctional KCl Gradients on the Spermine Inhibition of Connexin40 Gap Junctions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Spermine inhibits rat connexin40 (Cx40) gap junctions. Glutamate residues at positions 9 and 13 and a basic amino acid (HKH) motif at positions 15–17 on the amino terminal domain are essential for this inhibitory activity.

A cardiac sodium channel mutation cosegregates with a rare connexin40 genotype in familial atrial standstill

open access: yes, 2003
Atrial standstill (AS) is a rare arrhythmia that occasionally appears to be genetically determined. This study investigates the genetic background of this arrhythmogenic disorder in a large family. Forty-four family members were clinically evaluated. One

Altered Dye Diffusion and Upregulation of Connexin37 in Mouse Aortic Endothelium Deficient in Connexin40

open access: yes, 2002
Connexin40 (Cx40), connexin37 (Cx37) and connexin43 (Cx43) are subunit proteins of gap junction channels in the vascular wall which are presumably involved in the propagation of vasomotor signals.

Post-operative atrial fibrillation is influenced by beta-blocker therapy but not by pre-operative atrial cellular electrophysiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
<b>Introduction:</b> We investigated whether post-cardiac surgery (CS) new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is predicted by pre-CS atrial cellular electrophysiology, and whether the antiarrhythmic effect of beta-blocker therapy may involve pre ...

Targeting endothelial connexin40 inhibits tumor growth by reducing angiogenesis and improving vessel perfusion.

open access: yes, 2016
Endothelial connexin40 (Cx40) contributes to regulate the structure and function of vessels. We have examined whether the protein also modulates the altered growth of vessels in tumor models established in control mice (WT), mice lacking Cx40 (Cx40 ...

Connexin40 and connexin43 in mouse aortic endothelium: evidence for coordinated regulation.

open access: yes, 2006
In the vessel wall, endothelial cells are metabolically and electrically coupled to each other and to the adjacent smooth muscle cells by gap junctions composed of connexins.
