Connexin 43 maintains tissue polarity and regulates mitotic spindle orientation in the breast epithelium
16 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Cell–cell communication is essential for tissue homeostasis, but its contribution to disease prevention remains to be understood. We demonstrate the involvement of connexin 43 (Cx43, also known as GJA1) and related gap junction in epithelial homeostasis, illustrated by polarity-mediated cell cycle entry and mitotic spindle orientation (MSO). Cx43 localization is restricted to the apicolateral membrane of...
