8068183 Matesic DF, Rupp HL, Bonney WJ, Ruch RJ, Trosko JE: Changes in gap-junction permeability, phosphorylation, and number mediated by phorbol ester and non-phorbol-ester tumor promoters in rat liver epithelial cells. Mol Carcinog. 1994 Aug;10(4):226-36.

The effects of three tumor promoters on gap-junction permeability; connexin 43 and 26 mRNA levels, protein levels, and phosphorylation; and the numbers of gap-junctional membrane plaques were studied in the rat liver epithelial cell line WB-F344 to determine whether changes in these parameters correlated with the inhibition of gap-junction function. 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA; 10 ng/mL), dieldrin (10 micrograms/mL), and heptachlor epoxide (10 micrograms/mL) inhibited gap-junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) assayed by fluorescent dye transfer by 80-90% after a 5-min exposure and by more than 90% within 1 h.

Immunostaining of Cx43 protein in normal HBEC indicated that heptachlor and heptachlor epoxide caused a loss of Cx43 from the cell membranes at noncytotoxic dose levels.

The levels of Ca2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) store, connexin43 (Cx43), PLCgamma (1), nPKCvarepsilon, and AP-1 DNA binding in nucleus were studied to screen for effects induced by submicromolar HE levels.
