The modulation of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) plays an important role during tumor promotion. Several tumor-promoting agents are known t o inhibit this form o f cellular coupling. In addition, tumor cells and cells expressing certain oncogenic products have been shown t o exhib
We found that a rat liver epithelial cell line (IAR 20) expresses connexin 43, the major cardiac gap-junction protein, but not connexin 26 or connexin 32, major liver gap-junction proteins. The effects of TPA on connexin 43 expression in IAR 20 were investigated using northern blot analysis, western
