To examine whether and at which stage of endometrial carcinogenesis decreased connexin expression occurs, we investigated changes in the expression of the gap junction proteins, connexin 26 (Cx26), Cx32 and Cx43, in human endometrial hyperplasia and cancer samples. Forty-eight endometrial tissue sam

## Abstract The phorbol ester, 12β__O__βtetradecanoylphorbolβ13βacetate (TPA), is a potent inhibitor of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC). This inhibition requires activation of protein kinase C (PKC), but the events downstream of this kinase are not known. Since PKC can activate ex
## Abstract The plasmaβmembrane association and transforming activity of the ras oncoprotein p21 are dependent upon posttranslational farnesylation. Farneslyl synthesis and p21 ras farnesylation are inhibited by hydroxmethylglutarylβCoA reductase inhibitors such as lovastatin. In this study, we exa
## Abstract The aseptic loosening of artificial joints with associated periprosthetic bone resorption may be partly due to the suppression of osteoblast function to form new bone by wear debris from the joint. To assess the effect of wear debris on osteoblasts, effects of model wear debris on gap j
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
