Connexin43 Deficiency Leads to Ventricular Arrhythmias by Reprogramming Proline Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study demonstrated that connexin43 (Cx43) knockout caused arrhythmic phenotype and decreased proline content in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Cx43 interacts with the amino acid transporter SNAT2 (sodium‐dependent neutral amino acid transporter), and its deficiency disrupts proline transport and metabolism.

Connexin-mediated signaling in nonsensory cells is crucial for the development of sensory inner hair cells in the mouse cochlea [PDF]

, 2017
open9siMutations in the genes encoding for gap junction proteins connexin 26 (Cx26) and connexin 30 (Cx30) have been linked to syndromic and nonsyndromic hearing loss in mice and humans.

Endothelial Cell‐Based Vascular Bandages for Blood–Brain Barrier Repair and Targeted siRNA Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
mECs restore blood–brain barrier function after cerebral ischemia–reperfusion by simultaneously targeting, supporting, and regulating the damaged vasculature. mECs home to injured cerebral vessels through interactions with highly expressed VLA‐4, reinforce endothelial integrity by forming new junctions, and, upon OGD‐SN treatment, acquire enhanced ...

Studies of intercellular Ca2+ signaling and gap-junction coupling in the developing cochlea of mouse models affected by congenital hearing loss [PDF]

, 2013
Connexin 26 (Cx26) and connexin 30 (Cx30) form gap junction channels that allow the intercellular diffusion of the Ca2+ mobilizing second messenger IP3.

Single and fractionated ionizing radiation induce alterations in endothelial connexin expression and channel function [PDF]

, 2019
Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for most tumor types. However, emerging evidence indicates an increased risk for atherosclerosis after ionizing radiation exposure, initiated by endothelial cell dysfunction. Interestingly, endothelial cells express

Connexins in atherosclerosis

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2013
Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the vessel wall, involves multiple cell types of different origins, and complex interactions and signaling pathways between them. Autocrine and paracrine communication pathways provided by cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and lipid mediators are central to atherogenesis.

Microgel‐Based Hierarchical Porous Hydrogel Patch with Adhesion and Resilience for Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a hierarchically porous hydrogel patch strategy (HPMP), based on gas‐shearing microfluidics and an aqueous two‐phase system to fabricate porous microgels as microgel‐based bioinks. The porous microgels with controllable porous structure exhibit excellent cellular behavior.

Lens connexins α3Cx46 and α8Cx50 interact with zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) [PDF]

, 2003
Connexin α1Cx43 has previously been shown to bind to the PDZ domain–containing protein ZO-1. The similarity of the carboxyl termini of this connexin and the lens fiber connexins α3Cx46 and α8Cx50 suggested that these connexins may also interact with ZO-1.

Role of soft tissue and bone interactions in the developmental integration and modularity of the skull in neural crest‐specific gap junction alpha‐1 knockout mice

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The vertebrate skull is composed of bones derived from neural crest cells and mesoderm. The evolutionary capacity of the skull has been linked, in part, to the emergence of neural crest cells; however, this increased capacity for evolutionary change requires that variation within neural crest‐ and mesoderm‐derived bones remains partly ...
