Glomerular expression of connexin 40 and connexin 43 in rat experimental glomerulonephritis
Clinical and Experimental Nephrology, 2012Gap junctional intercellular communication is thought to play an important role in the maintenance of cell differentiation and homeostasis. Gap junctions connect glomerular mesangial cells to each other. In this study, we examined the glomerular expression of connexins (Cxs) 40 and 43 at both the protein and transcript levels in anti-Thy1.1 ...

To determine the distribution of gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) and the expression of Cx43 mRNA in different regions of canine small intestine and colon, modified Western blot and Northern blot techniques were used with a site-directed antibody raised against a synthetic peptide of Cx43 Anti-Cx43 (252-271) and a probe of 1.3-kb Cx43 cDNA ...

Endothelial Connexin 37, Connexin 40, and Connexin 43 Respond Uniquely to Substrate and Shear Stress
Endothelium, 2007Endothelial connexins have been linked to atherosclerosis and hypertension; however, little is know about their sensitivity to stimuli and individual functions. This study investigates the responses of endothelial connexin 37, connexin 40, and connexin 43 (Cx37, Cx40, and Cx43) to shear stress and substrate.

Remodeling of connexin 43 in the diabetic rat heart
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2006In the Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat heart, a decrease in the conductivity and suppression of electrical cell-to-cell coupling were observed. To clarify this mechanism, the present study was performed to investigate alterations of the gap junction connexin 43 (Cx43) using immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, electron-microscopic analyses.

Bisphosphonates and Connexin 43: A Critical Review of Evidence
Cell Communication & Adhesion, 2014Bisphosphonates (BPs) are drugs commonly used in the treatment of various disease arising or affecting bone tissue. There is a standard use in bone neoplasia and metastasis, hormonal and developmental disorders as well as for compensation of adverse effects in several medical therapies.

Redistribution of connexin 43 during cell division
Cell Biology International, 2016AbstractGap junction channels, once clustered into gap junction plaques, allow communication of essential metabolites between cells. Gap junction plaques have been reported to be lost from the cell surface during cell division. The mechanism involved in this loss of gap junction plaques during mitosis is unclear, but we hypothesize that an ...

The Emerging Role of Connexin 43 in Testis Pathogenesis
Current Molecular Medicine, 2013Direct intercellular communication is mediated by gap junctions and their constitutive proteins, the connexins, which are organized in a hexameric arrangement forming a channel between adjacent cells. Connexins are essential for cell homeostasis and are also involved in many physiological processes such as cell growth, differentiation and death ...
