MicroRNAs and Connexins in Bone: Interaction and Mechanisms of Delivery

open access: yes, 2017
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To describe the current knowledge on the cross-talk between connexins and microRNAs (miRs) in bone cells. RECENT FINDINGS: Connexins play a crucial role on bone development and maintenance, and disruptions in their abundance or ...

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

Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Pediatric Hearing Loss Along the Texas–Mexico Border

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Project GIVE provided evaluations and genome sequencing to 23 children with hearing loss along the Texas–Mexico border. Seventy percent received a molecular diagnosis and 56% of those diagnosed had changes to medical management. In this region, underdiagnosis of genetic hearing loss is due to care barriers rather than lower genetic burden.

Connexins in Renal Endothelial Function and Dysfunction

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceThe renal endothelium plays a critical role in kidney physiopathology as it is implicated in various processes such as the regulation of vasomotor tone, the control of tissue inflammation and thrombosis.

Connexins: a myriad of functions extending beyond assembly of gap junction channels

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2009
Connexins constitute a large family of trans-membrane proteins that allow intercellular communication and the transfer of ions and small signaling molecules between cells.

Renal connexins and blood pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The kidneys are centrally involved in the regulation of blood pressure. Kidney function requires the coordinated actions of a number of different vascular and tubular cell types in the renal vasculature and in the renal tubular system.

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.

The action of mimetic peptides on connexins protects fibroblasts from the negative effects of ischemia reperfusion

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
Connexins have been proposed as a target for therapeutic treatment of a variety of conditions. The main approaches have been by antisense or small peptides specific against connexins.

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).
