Diabetes Increases Cryoinjury Size with Associated Effects on Cx43 Gap Junction Function and Phosphorylation in the Mouse Heart.
(2016)
Diabetic patients develop larger myocardial infarctions and have an increased risk of death following a heart attack. The poor response to myocardial injury in the diabetic heart is likely related to the many metabolic ...
Impact of the controlled release of a connexin 43 peptide on corneal wound closure in an STZ model of type I diabetes.
(2014)
The alpha-carboxy terminus 1 (αCT1) peptide is a synthetically produced mimetic modified from the DDLEI C-terminus sequence of connexin 43 (Cx43). Previous research using various wound healing models have found promising ...
Connexin 43 expression is associated with increased malignancy in prostate cancer cell lines and functions to promote migration.

Impaired expression of connexins, the gap junction subunits that facilitate direct cell-cell communication, have been implicated in prostate cancer growth. To elucidate the crucial role of connexins in prostate cancer ...
Connexin 43 connexon to gap junction transition is regulated by zonula occludens-1.
(2011-05)
Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a gap junction (GJ) protein widely expressed in mammalian tissues that mediates cell-to-cell coupling. Intercellular channels comprising GJ aggregates form from docking of paired connexons, with one ...
The effect of a connexin43-based Peptide on the healing of chronic venous leg ulcers: a multicenter, randomized trial.
(2015-01)
The gap junction protein, connexin43 (Cx43), has critical roles in the inflammatory, edematous, and fibrotic processes following dermal injury and during wound healing, and is abnormally upregulated at the epidermal wound ...
