In vivo growth of C6 glioma cells transfected with connexin43 cDNA.
In order to examine the possible role of intercellular communication via gap junctions in the control of tumor growth, we have transfected C6 glioma cells with connexin43 cDNA. We obtained several clones with variable expression of connexin43. The growth rate of these clones in culture was inversely related to the degree of expression of the transfected cDNA. To examine the growth of these tran...
متن کاملConnexin43 interacts with NOV: a possible mechanism for negative regulation of cell growth in choriocarcinoma cells.
The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) is thought to be involved in growth control in several tissues. Using the doxycycline inducible tet-on system, we generated human malignant trophoblast Jeg3 cells transfected with either Cx40, Cx43, or C-terminal truncated Cx43 (trCx43). Cx43, but not Cx40 or trCx43, displayed a reduced cell growth of Jeg3 cells in vitro and tumor growth in nude mice, ...
متن کاملProstaglandin E2 Synthesis in C6 Glioma Cells
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) plays an important role in immunosuppression and tumor growth. PGE2 inhibitors such as aspirin and indomethacin suppress experimental tumor growth. Little is known of the relationship between PGE2 synthesis in brain tumors and the dose of aspirin or indomethacin. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different doses of aspirin and indomethacin on PGE...
متن کاملInhibition of glioma cell growth and tumorigenic potential by CCN3 (NOV).
AIMS To establish whether the ectopic expression of CCN3 (NOV) in glioma cells can interfere with their tumorigenic potential and assess its potential value in molecular medicine. METHODS Glioma cell lines were used to assess whether differences in the degree of intracellular communication induced by the expression of the gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) is related to the differential ...
متن کاملOculodentodigital dysplasia connexin43 mutations result in non-functional connexin hemichannels and gap junctions in C6 glioma cells.
Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is a rare developmental disorder characterized by craniofacial and limb abnormalities. Over 35 separate mutations in human connexin43 (Cx43) causing ODDD have been identified. Several mutations are also associated with central nervous system involvement, including white-matter changes detected by magnetic resonance imaging. As Cx43 is abundantly expressed in a...
