CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE By manipulation of Cx43 expression or gap junction function, we found that there were gap junction-dependent and independent effect of Cx43 on temozolomide (TMZ) sensitivity in U87 glioblastoma cells. 29115581 2018
CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE In conclusion, a region of CX43 (amino acids 266-283) exerts an important anti-tumor effect in patient-derived glioblastoma models that includes impairment of GSC migration and invasion. 28712848 2017
CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE In conclusion, our results indicate that the "bystander" effects of functional gap junctions composed of connexin 43 enhance the antitumor effect of miR-124-3p in glioblastoma cells by transferring miR-124-3p to adjacent cells, thereby enhancing G0 /G1 cell cycle arrest. 25753094 2015
CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE miR-221/222 is the regulator of Cx43 expression in human glioblastoma cells. 22294051 2012
CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Altogether, our data demonstrate that Cx43 controls the tumor phenotype of glioblastoma U251 cells and in particular, invasion capacity, through its localization in lipid rafts containing Cav-1. 21882259 2012
CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We report here that glioblastoma is a heterogenous disease as regards Cx43 expression with presentations, in which Cx43 expression is unaltered, reduced or totally lost. 21779029 2011

Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Expression of cx43 in human glioblastoma cells significantly increased sensitivity to several common chemotherapeutic agents, including etoposide, paclitaxel (Taxol) and doxorubicin, compared with control-transfected cells. 11279616 2001
CUI: C0280474

CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE To improve the effectiveness of this therapy, we compared an HSV vector (TOCX) expressing Cx43 in addition to TK with an isogenic tk vector (TOZ.1) for their abilities to induce bystander killing of Cx-positive U-87 MG human glioblastoma cells and Cx-negative L929 fibrosarcoma cells in vitro and in vivo. 10933914 2000
CUI: C0280474
Disease: Childhood Glioblastoma
Childhood Glioblastoma
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE We conclude that the loss of cx43 expression may play a role in the development of human gliomas and that cx43 acts as a tumor suppressor gene to human glioblastoma. 9823317 1998
