Article Title: Targeting Connexin43 provides anti-inflammatory effects after intracerebral hemorrhage injury by regulating YAP signaling
Article Snippet: The immunoprecipitation samples were collected and incubated with anti-YAP(1:50, Cell Signaling Technology, #14074),anti-Cx43 (1:30, Abcam, #235585)or rabbit IgG (1:20, Cell Signaling Technology, #3424)antibodies at 4°C with gentle shaking overnight for co-immunoprecipitation.Then, 10 μL of protein A agarose beads were added to the samples, followed by incubation in a 4°C shaker for an additional 2 h. After centrifugation, the supernatant was carefully removed by suction, and the agarose beads containing the immune complexes were washed 3 times with lysis buffer solution.Finally, sample buffer solution was added and the samples were boiled for 5 min; the supernatant was collected for subsequent Western blot (WB) analysis. ..

Article Title: Ginsenoside Rg1 alleviates chronic stress-induced depression in rats by targeting Cx43-YAP axis.
Article Snippet: Although significant progress has been made in the development of antidepressants, a large subpopulation of individuals remains unresponsive to existing treatments.. Ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1), a natural compound with well-defined antidepressant effects and lowcost administrations, holds therapeutic promise but requires mechanistic elucidation for clinical translation.. Based on our previous finding that Rg1 rescued astrocytic connexin43 (Cx43) downregulation in depression models, we investigated its brain-wide effects and molecular mechanisms in chronic unpredictable stress (CUS)-induced rats.

Article Title: The caspase-1 inhibitor VX765 upregulates connexin 43 expression and improves cell-cell communication after myocardial infarction via suppressing the IL-1β/p38 MAPK pathway.
Article Snippet: VX765 (25 μM) was added to RCFs for 30 min in advance, and then, the cells were treated with LPS (1 μg/mL, #L2630, Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 12 h and ATP (5 mM, #A-2383, Sigma–Aldrich) for 1 h to activate the NLRP3 inflammasome. .. Subsequently, the supernatants from the four groups of RCFs were used as conditioned medium and incubated with RCMs for 24 h. To verify the direct effect of IL-1β (#HY-P7097, Med Chem Express) on Cx43, we used exogenous IL-1β to stimulate RCMs for verification and used it in combination with the IL-1β inhibitor TLR1 (#HY-W011400, Med Chem Express) or the p-38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 (#HY-10256, Med Chem Express). ..

Overview of the key findings. This study compares the treatment efficacy of LBBP and BiVP, and relating electrocardiographic, echocardiographic and cellular (reverse) remodeling in a canine DHF model. The results show that LBBP restores electrical synchrony (QRSd) to a similar extent as BiVP, while leads to larger LV-GLS improvement than BiVP. Both LBBP and BiVP reverse the protein level of KCNIP2, SERCA2a and Cx43. Moreover, LBBP reverses abnormalities in cytoskeleton-associated proteins, TGF-β signaling, and SERCA2a expression more than BiVP, as well as enhances myocardial energy metabolism via more efficient TCA cycling and ATP production.
