Pathological significance of connexin 26 expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma.
This study was conducted to determine the level of expression and cellular localization of connexin 26 (Cx26) and the expression of p53 in colorectal adenocarcinoma as well as their relationship to clinicopathological features. Immunohistochemical staining was performed in 130 colorectal adenocarcinoma cases. A correlation between the expression levels of the two proteins and an analysis of the...
متن کاملFluoxetin Upregulates Connexin 43 Expression in Astrocyte
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that astrocytes play major roles in normal and disease condition of the central nervous system including multiple sclerosis (MS). Molecular target therapy studies in MS have revealed that connexin-43 (Cx43) and Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) contents of astrocytes undergo expression alteration. Fluoxetine had some effects in MS patients unrelated to its known antidep...
متن کاملSpecies specificity of mammalian connexin-26 to form open voltage-gated hemichannels.
Mutations of connexin-26 (Cx26) cause nonsyndromic hearing loss and other syndromes affecting ectoderm-derived tissues. While the exact mechanisms underlying these diseases remain elusive, Cx's are generally considered to mediate cell-to-cell communication by forming gap junction channels. We show here that unlike rat Cx26, human and sheep Cx26 form voltage-gated hemichannels when expressed in ...
متن کاملHibernation in noncontracting mammalian cardiomyocytes.
BACKGROUND -The aim of the present study was to establish whether isolated neonatal mammalian cardiomyocytes were capable of downregulating energy-using processes other than contraction while maintaining metabolic stability when oxygen availability was reduced. METHODS AND RESULTS Metabolic response of cardiomyocytes was investigated under moderate (5 to 6 micromol/L) and severe (2 to 3 micro...
متن کاملExpression of connexin 43, ion channels and Ca2+-handling proteins in rat pulmonary vein cardiomyocytes
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF is thought to be triggered by ectopic beats, originating primarily in the myocardial sleeves surrounding the pulmonary veins (PVs). The mechanisms underlying these cardiac arrhythmias remain unclear. To investigate this, frozen sections of heart and lung tissue from adult rats without arrhythmia were obtained in different planes...
