Role of connexins and pannexins during ontogeny, regeneration, and pathologies of bone

open access: yes, 2016
International audienceElectron micrographs revealed the presence of gap junctions in osteoblastic cells over 40 years ago. These intercellular channels formed from connexins are present in bone forming osteoblasts, bone resorbing osteoclasts, and ...

Exacerbated ATP transmission in the carotid body is linked to glomus cell expansion in spontaneously hypertensive rats

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 12, Page 4678-4706, 15 June 2026.
Abstract figure legend Exacerbated ATP signalling in the carotid body (CB) of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) arises from expansion of the chemosensory glomus cell compartment and reduced extracellular ATP metabolism, leading to increased purinergic drive.

Contribution of large-pore channels to inflammation induced by microorganisms

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Plasma membrane ionic channels selectively permeate potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride ions. However, large-pore channels are permeable to ions and small molecules such as ATP and glutamate, among others.

HIF‐Regulated Pannexin‐1 Channel Drives Luminal ATP Accumulation in Kidney Cysts

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease causes progressive cyst enlargement in the kidneys, leading to hypoxia and induction of HIF‐1α. Our study identifies HIF‐1α‐dependent transcriptional upregulation of Pannexin1 (PANX1) in the apical membrane of cyst epithelial cells, promoting ATP release into the cyst lumen.

The 3‐Hit Metabolic Signaling Model for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Summary

open access: yesAutism Research, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable yet environmentally sensitive neurodevelopmental condition whose biological heterogeneity has resisted a unifying causal explanation for over 100 years. The 3‐hit metabolic signaling model proposes that ASD arises from abnormal persistence of an evolutionarily conserved stress‐response ...

USES OF NEURONAL PANNEXINS FOR THERAPY AND DIAGNOSIS IN MAMMALS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The present invention is related to the use of neuronal pannexins for the manufacture of drugs for preventing and/or treating neurological disorders, particularly neurological disorders involving hippocampal pyramidal cells in mammals.

Emerging Roles of Adenosine Metabolism in Astrocytes During Brain Injury

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Adenosine, as a key metabolic and neurotransmitter in the brain, has become an important therapeutic target for improving the efficacy of immunotherapy for stroke. However, gaps in knowledge about its metabolic pathways have become a key factor limiting its clinical translation.

Connexin therapeutics: blocking connexin hemichannel pores is distinct from blocking pannexin channels or gap junctions

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2021
Compounds that block the function of connexin and pannexin protein channels have been suggested to be valuable therapeutics for a range of diseases. Some of these compounds are now in clinical trials, but for many of them, the literature is inconclusive ...

Connexin and pannexin (hemi)channels in the liver [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2014
The liver was among the first organs in which connexin proteins have been identified. Hepatocytes harbor connexin32 and connexin26, while non-parenchymal liver cells typically express connexin43. Connexins give rise to hemichannels, which dock with counterparts on adjacent cells to form gap junctions.

Glial connexins and pannexins in the healthy and diseased brain

open access: yes, 2021
Over the past several decades a large amount of data have established that glial cells, the main cell population in the brain, dynamically interact with neurons and thus impact their activity and survival.
