In vitro formation of gap junction vesicles
A method is described that uses trypsin digestion combined with collagenase-hyaluronidase which produces a population of gap junction vesicles. The hexagonal lattice of subunits ("connexons") comprising the gapjunctions appears unaltered by various structural criteria and by buoyant density measurements. The gap junction vesciles are closed by either a single or a double profile of nonjunctiona...
متن کاملFormation of Heterotypic Gap Junction Channels
Gap junctions formed between transfected cells expressing connexin (Cx) 40 and Cx43 (Cx43-RIN, Cx40-HeLa, and Cx43-HeLa) revealed a relationship, gj5f(Vj), at steady state, that is typified by a nonsymmetrical behavior similar to that previously reported for other heterotypic channels (gap junction conductance [gj]; transjunctional voltage [Vj]). The unitary conductance of the channels was sens...
متن کاملATP Is Required and Advances Cytokine-Induced Gap Junction Formation in Microglia In Vitro
Microglia are the immune cells in the central nervous system. After injury microglia release bioactive molecules, including cytokines and ATP, which modify the functional state of hemichannels (HCs) and gap junction channels (GJCs), affecting the intercellular communication via extracellular and intracellular compartments, respectively. Here, we studied the role of extracellular ATP and several...
متن کاملFormation of antiwaves in gap-junction-coupled chains of neurons.
Using network models consisting of gap-junction-coupled Wang-Buszaki neurons, we demonstrate that it is possible to obtain not only synchronous activity between neurons but also a variety of constant phase shifts between 0 and π. We call these phase shifts intermediate stable phase-locked states. These phase shifts can produce a large variety of wavelike activity patterns in one-dimensional cha...
