Abstract:Gap junctions (GJ) provide metabolic cooperation between cells through the direct exchange of
cytoplasmic components. We analyzed the effect of short-term hypoxic stress on the efficiency
of communication through the GJs in cultured multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)
and characterized the sensitivity of MSCs to short-term hypoxic stress depending on the GJ
function. Mitotically inactive MSCs were used in the experiments, in which the GJs were
blocked with a specific inhibitor – carbenoxolone. The MSC… Show more
