1. GJB2 c.235delC variant associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
Abstract Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is a genetically heterogeneous neurosensory disorder, usually characterized by congenital or prelingual hearing loss. We report a Han Chinese male, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss, whose clinical phenotype was also consistent with auditory

2. Liver metabolic changes induced by conjugated linoleic acid in calorie-restricted rats
ABSTRACT Objective Complexes like conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reduce the percentage of body fat by increasing energy expenditure, fat oxidation, or both. The aim of this study was to verify if CLA is able to mimic caloric restriction (CR), and determine the effects of CLA on liver metabolic profile of young adult male Wistar rats. Materials and methods

3. Ontogênese de conexinas no cerebelo. / Ontogenesis of connexins in the cerebellum.
As junções comunicantes formadas por conexinas (Cx) ligam o citoplasma de células adjacentes e permitem a passagem de moléculas e íons entre elas. No sistema nervoso, esses canais constituem as sinapses elétricas e são fundamentais para a fisiologia glial. No desenvolvimento, as conexinas estão envolvidas nos processos de migração, proliferação e

4. Conexinas na epilepsia experimental induzida por pilocarpina: abordagem molecular e eletrofisiológica. / Connexins in the experimental epilepsy induced by pilocarpine: molecular and eletrophysiological approach.
Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a expressão hipocampal de proteínas e de RNAm das Cx43 e Cx36 no modelo de epilepsia do lobo temporal (ELT) induzido por pilocarpina. Além disso, os efeitos do bloqueador de canais de junções comunicantes (CJC), carbenoxolona (CBX), foram avaliados por eletrofisiologia durante o período de status epilepticus. Os d

5. Avaliação da expressão e localização da conexina 43 na injúria isquêmica renal aguda / Evaluation of Connexin 43 expression and localization in renal acute ischemic injury
The cells require contact with other cells and the extracellular matrix for tissue formation. Gap junctions are narrow channels connecting the cytoplasm of two adjacent cells, promoting the passage of inorganic ions, amino acids, nucleotides and other metabolites. These junctions are composed of two conexons or hemichannels, crossing the cell plasma membrane

6. Participação das conexinas 43 e 32 no desenvolvimento da fibrose hepática: estudo em camundongos geneticamente modificados / Role of connexins 43 and 32 on the development of hepatic fibrosis: a study in genetically modified mice
A fibrose hepática resulta da cronicidade da injúria celular, ocasionando acúmulo dos componentes da matriz extracelular (MEC) pela ativação, principalmente, de células estreladas e fibroblastos portais em miofibroblastos. Estas células se conectam através de junções comunicantes do tipo gap, formadas por proteínas denominadas conexinas (Cx). As j

7. A novel missense mutation p.L76P in the GJB2 gene causing nonsyndromic recessive deafness in a Brazilian family
Mutations in the GJB2 gene, encoding connexin 26 (Cx26), are a major cause of nonsyndromic recessive hearing loss in many countries. We report here on a novel point mutation in GJB2, p.L76P (c.227C>T), in compound heterozygosity with a c.35delG mutation, in two Brazilian sibs, one presenting mild and the other profound nonsyndromic neurosensorial hearing imp

8. Modulação da expressão de conexinas na retina: um estudo morfológico, bioquímico e funcional. / Modulation of connexin expression in retina: a study using morphological, biochemical and functional approaches.
Life is a dynamic process in time and space, resulting from an interaction provided by gap junctions (GJs), channels composed of connexins (Cxs) that permits the passage of molecules up to 1kDa and ions. The aim of this study was analyze the modulation of Cxs during development, dark adaptation and after local mechanical trauma in the retina using techniques

9. Estudo molecular em individuos com surdez sensorioneural não-sindromica monoalelicos para mutações no gene GJB2 / Molecular study in subjects with sensorineural nonsyndromic deafness and monoallelics mutations in GJB2 gene
Mutations in the GJB2 gene (Cx26) are the most common cause of autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss. However, in 10 to 40% of these cases, mutations in Cx26 gene are detected in on1y one allele which causes a problem in molecular diagnostico These findings could be attributed to the existence of mutations in non-coding regions of the gene or mutatio

10. Expression of gap junction proteins, the connexins, in normal and neoplastic osseous tissues from dogs / Estudo da expressão das proteínas de junções intercelulares do tipo Gap, as conexinas, em tecido ósseo normal e neoplásico de cães
Increasing evidence indicates that junctional communiction by gap juctions has a critical role in a bone physiology. The main connexin (Cx) express involved in development, differentiation and regulation of tissue growth, is the called Cx43. However, other, two connexis are expressed: Cx45 and Cx46. Cx46 is retained as monomers in a trans-golgi compartment o

11. Connexins in the early development of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis (Amphibia): The role of the connexin43 carboxyl terminal tail in the establishment of the dorso-ventral axis
Connexins are a family of related proteins identified in vertebrate forming gap junctions, which mediate cell-to-cell communication in early embryos, with an important role in establishing embryonic asymmetry and ‘communication compartments’. By in situ hybridization, immunocytochemistry, reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and western blotting we show th

12. Carcinogênese pulmonar em camundongos portadores de deleção em um dos alelos do gene da Cx43 / Lung carcinogenesis in mice with a deletion in one allele of Cx43 gene
Gap junctions are communicating protein channels formed between adjacent cells that allow the exchange of molecules and ions smaller than 1kDa; connexins are proteins that form these junctions. Studies in the literature have been showing the lower level of cell communication capacity and alterations in the expression and/or localization of connexins in neopl
