AIM: To investigate gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) in hepatocellular
carcinoma cell lines, and signal transduction mechanism of gap junction genes connexin32 …

The reduced gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and gap junction protein
(connexin) expression that have been noted in many neoplastic cell types may contribute to …

Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) is considered to play a key role in the
maintenance of tissue independence and homeostasis in multicellular organisms by …

Gap junctions are membrane structures made of intercellular channels which permit the
diffusion from cytoplasm to cytoplasm of small hydrophilic molecules. Nearly 40 years ago …

Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and the expression of gap junction
proteins (connexins) may be involved in growth regulation and neoplastic transformation …

Malfunctioned gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been thought
associated with malignant transformation of normal cells. However, the role of GJIC-related …

The expression of connexin 32 (the major liver gap junction protein) and connexin 43 (the
major cardiac gap junction protein) was examined in six surgically removed human …

Cell proliferation is an important process for reproduction, growth and renewal of living cells
and occurs in several situations during life. Cell proliferation is present in all the steps of …

High expression of connexins was found in a variety of cancers, but their role is still
controversial. We investigated whether connexin43 (Cx43) contributed to bladder …

Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) or cell coupling has an important function in
maintaining tissue homeostasis and is thus a critical factor in the life and death balance of …
