Determining how defects in connexin43 cause skeletal disease.
Gap junction channels mediate direct cell-cell communication via the exchange of second messengers, ions, and metabolites from one cell to another. Mutations in several human connexin (cx) genes, the subunits of gap junction channels, disturb the development and function of multiple tissues/organs. In particular, appropriate function of Cx43 is required for skeletal development in all vertebrat...
متن کاملDetermining How Defects in Connexin 43 Cause Skeletal Diseases
iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish first to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Kathy Iovine, my graduate mentor. Your advice, guidance, understanding and constant support have shaped my graduate career to success. Thank you so much for being with me when I thought I could have failed the program. Thank you for thinking ahead and helping me to find the solution for the problems. Your expectations and...
متن کاملFilamin B mutations cause chondrocyte defects in skeletal development.
Filamin B (FLNB) is a cytoplasmic protein that regulates the cytoskeletal network by cross-linking actin, linking cell membrane to the cytoskeleton and regulating intracellular signaling pathways responsible for skeletal development (Stossel, T.P., Condeelis, J., Cooley, L., Hartwig, J.H., Noegel, A., Schleicher, M. and Shapiro, S.S. (2001) Filamins as integrators of cell mechanics and signalli...
متن کاملHeart defects in connexin43-deficient mice.
Cardiac malformation in connexin43 (CX43)-disrupted mice is restricted to the junction between right ventricle and outflow tract, even though CX43 is also expressed abundantly elsewhere. We analyzed cardiac morphogenesis in immunohistochemically and hybridohistochemically stained and three-dimensionally reconstructed serial sections of CX43-deficient embryos between embryonic day (ED) 10 and bi...
متن کاملHow intestinal bacteria cause disease.
An improved understanding of how intestinal bacteria cause disease has become increasingly important because of the emergence of new enteric pathogens, increasing threats of drug resistance, and a growing awareness of their importance in malnutrition and diarrhea. Reviewed here are the varied ways that intestinal bacteria cause disease, which provide fundamental lessons about microbial pathogen...
