## Abstract Additive effects against tumor cells might be achieved by combining anti‐neoplastic agents directed against one or more altered mechanisms in cancer. We investigated the participation of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC), which is commonly dysfunctional in tumor cells as
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
