Total flavonoids of litsea coreana enhance the cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin by increasing gap junction intercellular communication.
Oxaliplatin is widely used in the treatment of variety of cancers, including cancer of the testis and colorectum. Gap junctions (GJs) can amplify the cytotoxicity of antinoeoplastic drugs through the bystander effect in different cancer cells. In this study, we demonstrate that total flavonoids of litsea coreana (TFLC), one extract from the dried leaves of litsea coreana leve, increase the cyto...
متن کاملAssembly of gap junction intercellular communication channels.
788 with a lipidlprotein molar ratio of 100:1, a value close to that found in most biological membranes [21]. The data show that the calculation of distances between sites within the monomer of a membrane protein of a cross-sectional diameter of 5 nm based only from FET efficiency measurements is largely speculative in most cases in native biological membranes. Because the contribution of FET t...
متن کاملRegulation of hematopoiesis by gap junction-mediated intercellular communication.
Gap junctions are intercellular channels formed by individual structural units known as connexins (Cx) that allow the intercellular exchange of small molecules between cells. The presence of Cx protein in bone marrow and thymic stromal cells and the demonstration that these cells are functionally coupled have led to the hypothesis that groups of stromal cells in the bone marrow and thymus form ...
متن کاملRole of gap junction intercellular communication in testicular leydig cell apoptosis induced by oxaliplatin via the mitochondrial pathway.
Platinum agents are widely used in the chemotherapy of testicular cancer. However, adverse reactions and resistance to such agents have limited their application in antineoplastic treatment. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) composed of Cx43 on oxaliplatin‑induced survival/apoptosis in mouse leydig normal and cancer cells u...
متن کاملGap junction-mediated intercellular communication in the immune system.
Immune cells are usually considered non-attached blood cells, which would exclude the formation of gap junctions. This is a misconception since many immune cells express connexin 43 (Cx43) and other connexins and are often residing in tissue. The role of gap junctions is largely ignored by immunologists as is the immune system in the field of gap junction research. Here, the current knowledge o...
