Many lines of evidence support the hypothesis that connexins form a family of tumor-suppressor genes. Transfection of connexin43 (Cx43) into rat C6 glioma cells have revealed that Cx43 functions as a growth-and tumor-suppressor in C6 cells. In previous studies, we and others have reported that sever

## Abstract Connexin (__Cx__) genes have negative growth effects on tumor cells with certain cell specificity. We have previously reported that Cx32 is specifically downregulated in human renal cell carcinoma cell (RCC) lines as well as cancerous regions of kidneys and that the Cx is expressed in t

The tumor-suppressive property of the connexin gap-junction proteins was postulated from the fact that their function of cell coupling is impaired in most cancer cells. However, in conflict with this notion, certain cancer cells are able to communicate through gap junctions despite their malignancy.

## Abstract Gap junctional intercellular communication is thought to play an important role in cell differentiation and tissue homeostasis. Gap junctional intercellular communication is mediated by intercellular channels connecting adjacent cells and composed of connexin (Cx) proteins. Until now, a

Although Src transformation of NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts has been shown to be dependent on Ras function, the signaling mechanism whereby Src induces malignant transformation of human epithelial cells still remains unclear. In the present study, we analyzed the functional role of Ras, which acts downs
