Cell cycle dependent regulation of gap junction coupling and apoptosis in GFSHR-17 granulosa cells

Abstract: Recent results have shown that the level of gap junction coupling could modulate the induction of apoptotic reactions. We previously observed that 1H-[1,2, 4]Oxadiazole[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), a blocker of guanylyl cyclase, inhibited gap junction coupling and thereby promoted activation of characteristic apoptotic reactions such as chromatin condensation, DNA strand breaking, and formation of blebs in GFSHR-17 granulosa cells, the in vitro model for granulosa cells of the maturing ovular follicle. In the… Show more

“…There are published data that the effect of AuNPs is based on G0/G1 phase accumulation, S and G2/M phase depletion, as well as on reduced ATP levels in human oral squamous carcinoma cells (HSC-3) [ 48 ]. Cell cycle regulation may be addressed by violation of focal contacts of cells with substrate and cell transfer to suspended fraction in 2D culture and inhibition cell-to-cell contacts in gap junction in 3D culture [ 48 50 ]. Due to nanosize of AuNPs (near 15 nm), it cannot be centers of cohesion for cells.…”

“…Adherens junctions are fundamental for tissue morphogenesis and cohesion; they consist mainly of cadherins (calciumdependent adherent proteins). Gap junctions are cell-cell channels that allow intercellular communication by passing chemical signals; they consist of connexins (Richard 2000) and are known to have a fundamental role in differentiation, cell cycle progression, and cell survival (Schlie et al 2010).…”
