## Abstract We have previously reported that connexin (Cx) 32 gene, a member of gap junctions, was specifically downregulated in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and it acts as a tumor suppressor against RCC. Because there is no standard therapy for advanced RCC, we investigated the antiβmetastatic

## 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
## Abstract Protein C inhibitor (PCI), a member of the serine protease inhibitor family, is produced in various human tissues, including the liver, kidney and testis. In addition to inhibiting the anticoagulant protein C pathway, PCI also inhibits urinary plasminogen activator (uPA), which is a wel
## Abstract We previously reported that connexin (Cx) 26 expression is involved in negative growth control of HepG2 cells established from a human hepatoma. We also found that induction of Eβcadherin and subsequent formation of a cell adhesion complex were induced in HepG2 cells by CβΓβ26 expressio
