Macrophage-Specific Connexin 43 Knockout Protects Mice from Obesity-Induced Inflammation and Metabolic Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Adipose tissue macrophages are a major immune cell type contributing to homeostatic maintenance and pathological adipose tissue remodeling. However, the mechanisms underlying macrophage recruitment and polarization in adipose tissue during obesity remain

The genetic architecture of epilepsy across molecular mechanisms and clinical heterogeneity

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Epilepsy comprises a highly heterogeneous group of neurological disorders unified by a persistent predisposition to recurrent seizures, yet driven by remarkably diverse genetic, molecular, and network‐level mechanisms. Advances in genomic technologies have revealed that epilepsy arises from a multilayered genetic architecture encompassing rare

Confirmation of Cx43 deletion by PCR.

open access: yes, 2013
The figure shows PCR of genomic DNA extracted from bladder (bld), brain (brn), calvaria (cal), heart (ht), humerus (hm), intestine (int), liver (lv), muscle (msl), skin (sk), and spleen (spl) from a OC-Cre; Cx43flx/+ mouse.

Correlation between connexin 43 expression in circulating tumor cells and biological characteristics of breast cancer

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Background: Connexin 43 (Cx43) has been closely linked to the occurrence and progression of breast cancer. Distant metastasis of breast cancer is aided by the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Chlorfenapyr Induces Hepatotoxicity Associated With Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction Involving Keap1/Nrf2 Signaling

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chlorfenapyr (CHL) is a widely used pyrrole insecticide, but its hepatotoxic effects and underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the toxic effects of CHL on rat liver and BRL‐3A hepatocytes and explored the involvement of the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Rats were administered CHL (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) by

Preferentially regulated expression of connexin 43 in the developing spiral ganglion neurons and afferent terminals in post-natal rat cochlea

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Histochemistry, 2015
The expression pattern of connexin 43 (Cx43) in the cochlea is not determined and is controversial. Since the presence of Cx43 is essential for hearing, we re-examined its distribution during postnatal development of rat cochlea.

Long Noncoding RNA HOTAIR Functions as a Competitive Endogenous RNA to Regulate Connexin43 Remodeling in Atrial Fibrillation by Sponging MicroRNA-613

open access: yesCardiovascular Therapeutics, 2020
Several studies have indicated that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs)-HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) is involved in some cardiovascular diseases by regulating gene expression as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA). GJA1 encoding Cx43 is one potential

Connexin43 Forms Supramolecular Complexes through Non-Overlapping Binding Sites for Drebrin, Tubulin, and ZO-1. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Gap junctions are membrane specialization domains identified in most tissue types where cells abut each other. The connexin channels found in these membrane domains are conduits for direct cell-to-cell transfer of ions and molecules. Connexin43 (Cx43) is

BAK treatment increased Cx43 phosphorylation status.

open access: yes, 2014
Exposure to BAK induced the increase of phosphorylated Cx43 (A). In 0.05% and 0.1%BAK group, P-Cx43 increased significantly compared with control cornea. Quantitative analysis of P-Cx43 abundance was shown in (B).

Air Pollution Quinones Impair Intestinal Barrier Integrity and Endoplasmic Reticulum in Differentiated Caco‐2 Cells

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Particulate matter (PM) is a major global health threat, linked to millions of deaths annually. Beyond inhalation, PM components reach the gastrointestinal tract through the mucociliary escalator or contaminated food and water. Among PM's organic fraction, redox‐active quinones such as 1,2‐naphthoquinone (NQ) and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone (PQ ...
