Neoplastic phenotype of gap-junctional intercellular communication-deficient WB rat liver epithelial cells and its reversal by forced expression of connexin 32.

Abstract excerpt

Gap-junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) is involved in cellular growth control and is often reduced in neoplastic cells. In this study, four GJIC-deficient rat liver epithelial cell lines (WB-aB1, WB-bA2, WB-cD6, and WB-dA2) were examined for altered growth and tumorigenicity in comparison with their GJIC-competent parental cell line, WB-F344. WB-aB1 cells were also forced to express connexin 32 (Cx32)...
