Cancer Prevention Research Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98109, USA
Carcinogenesis 25:669-80. 2004....
The gap junction protein connexin32 is a mouse lung tumor suppressorTimothy J King
Cancer Prevention Research Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Department of Pathobiology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA
Cancer Res 64:7191-6. 2004..001) compared with wild-type tumors, implicating this signaling pathway in Cx32/gap junction intercellular communication-associated lung tumorigenesis...
Deficiency in the gap junction protein connexin32 alters p27Kip1 tumor suppression and MAPK activation in a tissue-specific mannerTimothy J King
Cancer Prevention Research Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98109, USA
Oncogene 24:1718-26. 2005..This study demonstrates that tissues dependent on Cx32 tumor suppression, such as the liver and lung, exhibit altered tumorigenesis and tumor biology (MAPK pathway activation) related to p27 status...
Altered tumor biology and tumorigenesis in irradiated and chemical carcinogen-treated single and combined connexin32/p27Kip1-deficient miceTimothy J King
Molecular Diagnostics Program, Public Health Sciences Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, Washington, USA
Cell Commun Adhes 12:293-305. 2005..Furthermore, these studies demonstrate that different carcinogens interact disparately with Cx32/p27Kip1 genotypic backgrounds in situ resulting in varied tumorigenic response...
Analysis of Connexin43 phosphorylated at S325, S328 and S330 in normoxic and ischemic heartPaul D Lampe
Molecular Diagnostics Program, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Department of Pathobiology, University of Washington, 1100 Fairview Avenue N, M5C800, PO Box 19024, Seattle, WA 98109, USA
J Cell Sci 119:3435-42. 2006..These data suggest that phosphorylation of Cx43 at serine residues 325, 328 and/or 330 influences channel permselectivity and regulates the efficiency of gap junction assembly...

Biochim Biophys Acta 1719:24-35. 2005..These new antibody tools and those under development will allow us to correlate specific phosphorylation events with changes in connexin function...
Connexins as targets for cancer chemoprevention and chemotherapyTimothy J King
Hawaii Biotech, Inc, Aiea, HI 96701, USA
Biochim Biophys Acta 1719:146-60. 2005..Here, we discuss the important role of connexins and GJC in tumorigenesis and suggest the possibility of connexins as potential anti-oncogenic targets for chemoprevention and/or chemotherapy...
Selectivity of connexin 43 channels is regulated through protein kinase C-dependent phosphorylationJose F Ek-Vitorin
Department of Physiology, University of Arizona, Tucson 85724, USA
Circ Res 98:1498-505. 2006..Our data suggest that the selectivity of gap junction channels at intercalated disks is increased early in ischemia...
