Rescue of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS)-mediated Sertoli cell injury by overexpression of gap junction protein connexin 43
Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is an environmental toxicant used in developing countries, including China, as a stain repellent for clothing, carpets and draperies, but it has been banned in the U.S. and Canada since the late 2000s. PFOS perturbed the Sertoli cell tight junction (TJ)-permeability barrier, causing disruption of actin microfilaments in cell cytosol, perturbing the localization o...
متن کاملEnhanced effect of connexin 43 on cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in mesothelioma cells.
The expression levels of connexin (Cx) proteins, which are gap junction (GJ) components, are often decreased in many cancers, and restoring their levels has been shown to have antitumor effects. Previously, dysfunctional gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been observed in several malignant mesotheliomas (MMs), and among the many Cx proteins, Cx43 is prominently expressed in n...
متن کامل21 hypoglycemia cases with hyperinsulinemia
Congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (CHI) is the common cause of severe hypoglycemia in infancy. Profound hypoglycemia requires appropriate diagnosis and aggressive treatment to prevent severe and irreversible brain damage. Here we report 21 Japanese hypoglycemia cases with severe hyperinsulinemia. We report 16 CHI cases, 2 HIHA cases, 1 GSD1b case and 2 PSS cases. 12 cases of CHI had seve...
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 کاملInduced Gating of Connexin 43 Gap Junction Channels
Suppression of gap-junctional communication by various protein kinases, growth factors, and oncogenes frequently correlates with enhanced mitogenesis. The oncogene v -src appears to cause acute closure of gap junction channels. Tyr265 in the COOH-terminal tail of connexin 43 (Cx43) has been implicated as a potential target of v -src , although v -src action has also been associated with changes...
