Inhibition of intrinsic gap-junction intercellular communication and enhancement of tumorigenicity of the rat bladder carcinoma cell line BC31 by a dominant-negative connexin 43 mutant

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.

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
