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

Connexin 43 confers chemoresistance through activating PI3K
Oncogenesis, 2022 Circumventing chemoresistance is crucial for effectively treating cancer including glioblastoma, a lethal brain cancer. The gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) renders glioblastoma resistant to chemotherapy; however, targeting Cx43 is difficult ...

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

Connexin 43 Hemichannels Are Permeable to ATP [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 Astrocytes are electrically nonexcitable cells that communicate by means of Ca2+signaling. Long-distance intercellular Ca2+waves are initiated by release of ATP and activation of purinergic receptors on nearby cells. Previous studies have implicated connexin 43 (Cx43) in ATP release, but definitive proof that ATP exits through Cx43 hemichannels does ...

Connexin-43-dependent ATP release mediates macrophage activation during sepsis
eLife, 2019 Bacterial spillage into a sterile environment following intestinal hollow-organ perforation leads to peritonitis and fulminant sepsis. Outcome of sepsis critically depends on macrophage activation by extracellular ATP-release and associated autocrine ...

The Importance of Connexin 43 in Enamel Development and Mineralization [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 During enamel development, formation of hydroxyapatite crystals and regulation of pH in the enamel matrix require massive transport of ions. Both ameloblasts and adjacent dental epithelial cells in the stellate reticulum co-express several transmembrane cotransporters/ion-exchangers for transport of ions across plasma membranes.

Expression and function of Connexin 43 and Connexin 37 in the murine zona glomerulosa. [PDF]
Physiol RepAbstractThe zona glomerulosa (ZG) synthesizes the mineralocorticoid aldosterone. The primary role of aldosterone is the maintenance of volume and electrolyte homeostasis. Aldosterone synthesis is primarily regulated via tightly controlled oscillations in intracellular calcium levels in response to stimulation.

Connexin 43 plays a role in pulmonary vascular reactivity in mice [PDF]
, 2018 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic condition characterized by vascular remodeling and increased vaso-reactivity. PAH is more common in females than in males (~3:1).

Formation of functional gap junctions in amniotic fluid-derived stem cells induced by transmembrane co-culture with neonatal rat cardiomyocytes [PDF]
, 2013 Amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (AFSC) have been reported to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells and form gap junctions when directly mixed and cultured with neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM).
