Many nongenotoxic hepatocarcinogens can induce cell proliferation, and inhibit apoptosis and gap-junctional-intercellular communication (GJIC). GJIC, the movement of small molecules (less than 1.2 kD) through membrane channels, is important in regulating cellular homeostasis and differentiation. The

## Abstract The phorbol ester, 12โ__O__โtetradecanoylphorbolโ13โacetate (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
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 plasmaโmembrane association and transforming activity of the ras oncoprotein p21 are dependent upon posttranslational farnesylation. Farneslyl synthesis and p21 ras farnesylation are inhibited by hydroxmethylglutarylโCoA reductase inhibitors such as lovastatin. In this study, we exa
