Roles of gap junctions, connexins and pannexins in epilepsy

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
Enhanced gap junctional communication (GJC) between neurons is considered a major factor underlying the neuronal synchrony driving seizure activity. In addition, the hippocampal sharp wave ripple complexes, associated with learning and seizures, are ...

Notoginsenoside‐Fa mitigates vascular endothelial permeability via targeting SUGT1 to stabilize NLRP3 in a resting state

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Notoginsenoside‐Fa (Noto‐Fa) is an emerging active compound derived from notoginseng with promise in treating cardiovascular diseases. The development of cardiovascular diseases is intricately linked to the damage of vascular endothelium and it is widely acknowledged that numerous chronic inflammation pathways, especially the ...

Regulation of connexin expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Gap junctions contain cell–cell communicating channels that consist of multimeric proteins called connexins and mediate the exchange of low-molecular-weight metabolites and ions between contacting cells.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor‐induced arrhythmias: Mechanistic insights from clinical and preclinical studies

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy, but their efficacy continues to be limited by immune‐related adverse events. Among these, ICI‐induced cardiac arrhythmias are increasingly recognised as a major adverse reaction, encompassing a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes, including conduction blocks, atrial fibrillation and

Connexin-32 and Connexin-43 Immunoreactivity in Rodent Taste Buds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Studies indicate that ATP is one of the primary neurotransmitters in taste transduction. ATP release occurs from taste cells via specific hemichannels such as pannexin/connexin hemichannels (Huang et al., 2007; Romanov et al., 2007).

Liver Repopulation after Hepatocellular Transplantation: Integration and Interaction of Transplanted Hepatocytes in the Host

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2005
The mechanisms of donor hepatocyte integration into recipient liver are not fully understood. We investigated mechanisms of both the integration and interaction of transplanted hepatocytes with host liver cells as well as the repopulation of the host ...

The Modulating Role of Vitamin E Against Potassium Dichromate's Cardiotoxicity in Adult Albino Rat [PDF]

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Histology
Introduction: One extremely hazardous inorganic chemical reagent is potassium dichromate (PD). Despite its genotoxic, immunotoxic, and carcinogenic effects, it is nevertheless frequently employed in industrial and laboratory settings.

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).

THE FEATURES OF CONNEXINS EXPRESSION IN THE CELLS OF NEUROVASCLAR UNIT IN NORMAL CONDITIONS AND HYPOXIA IN VITRO

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2014
The aim of this research was to assess a role of connexin 43 (Cx43) and associated molecule CD38 in the regulation of cell-cell interactions in the neurovascular unit (NVU) in vitro in physiological conditions and in hypoxia.Materials and methods.
