Gap junctions, composed of connexin protein subunits, allow direct communication through conduits between neighboring cells. Twenty and twenty-one members of the connexin gene family are likely to be expressed in the mouse and human genome, respectively, 19 of which can be grouped into sequence-orthologous pairs. Their gene structure appears to be relatively simple. In most…

We have identified cells expressing Cx26, Cx30, Cx32, Cx36 and Cx43 in gap junctions of rat central nervous system (CNS) using confocal light microscopic immunocytochemistry and freeze-fracture replica immunogold labeling (FRIL). Confocal microscopy was used to assess general distributions of connexins, whereas the 100-fold higher resolution of FRIL allowed co-localization of several different connexins within…
Connexin 43 (Cx43) is up-regulated after spinal cord injury (SCI). The authors tested whether mimetic peptides, corresponding to short sequences of rat Cx43, would reduce the severity of damage in a rodent ex vivo model of SCI. Eleven peptides (peptides 1 to 11) corresponding to short amino acid sequences of the extracellular loops of rat…
There is a dearth of chemical inhibitors of connexin-mediated intercellular communication. The advent of short "designer" connexin mimetic peptides has provided new tools to inhibit connexin channels quickly and reversibly. This perspective describes the development of mimetic peptides, especially Gap 26 and 27 that are the most popular and correspond to specific sequences in the…
Adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins collagen I and vitronectin is sufficient to drive human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into an osteogenic differentiation pathway, but the mechanisms underlying this stimulation are not well understood. We found that addition of beta1 and alpha(v)beta3 integrin blocking antibodies inhibited ECM-induced ERK activation, while addition of the MEK…
