چکیده

Intracellular signaling in osteocytes activated by mechanical loading is important for bone formation and remodeling. These signaling events are mediated by small modulators released from Cx43 hemichannels (HC). We have recently shown that integrin a5 senses the mechanical stimulation and induces the opening of Cx43 HC; however, the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, we show that both Cx43 and integrin a5 interact with 14-3-3h, and this interaction is required for the opening of Cx43 HC upon mechanical stress. The absence of 14-3-3h prevented the interaction between Cx43 and integrin a5, and blocked HC opening. Furthermore, it decreased the transport of Cx43 and integrin a5 from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane. Mechanical loading promoted the movement of Cx43 to the surface which was associated not only with an increase in 14-3-3h levels but also its interaction with Cx43 and integrin a5. This stimulatory effect on forward transport by mechanical loading was attenuated in the absence of 14-3-3h and the majority of the Cx43 accumulated in the Golgi. Disruption of the Golgi by brefeldin A reduced the association of Cx43 and integrin a5 with 14-3-3h, further suggesting that the interaction is likely to occur in the Golgi. Together, these results define a previously unidentified, scaffolding role of 14-33h in assisting the delivery of Cx43 and integrin a5 to the plasma membrane for the formation of mechanosensitive HC in osteocytes.

Functional expression in Xenopus oocytes of gap-junctional hemichannels formed by a cysteine-less connexin 43.

Gap-junctional channels are formed by two connexons or gap-junctional hemichannels in series, with each connexon conformed by six connexin molecules. As with other membrane proteins, structural information on connexons can potentially be obtained with techniques that take advantage of the highly specific thiol chemistry by positioning Cys residues at locations of interest, ideally in an otherwi...

Inhibition by Commercial Aminoglycosides of Human Connexin Hemichannels Expressed in Bacteria.

In addition to gap junctional channels that mediate cell-to-cell communication, connexins form hemichannels that are present at the plasma membrane. Since hemichannels are permeable to small hydrophilic compounds, including metabolites and signaling molecules, their abnormal opening can cause or contribute to cell damage in disorders such as cardiac infarct, stroke, deafness, skin diseases, and...

Connexin 43 hemichannels and intracellular signaling in bone cells

Cell function and survival are controlled by intracellular signals, and modulated by surrounding cells and the extracellular environment. Connexin channels participate in these processes by mediating cell-to-cell communication. In bone cells, gap junction channels were detected in the early 1970s, and are present among bone resorbing osteoclasts, bone forming osteoblasts, and osteocytes - matur...

RhoA GTPase Switch Controls Cx43-Hemichannel Activity through the Contractile System

ATP-dependent paracrine signaling, mediated via the release of ATP through plasma membrane-embedded hemichannels of the connexin family, coordinates a synchronized response between neighboring cells. Connexin 43 (Cx43) hemichannels that are present in the plasma membrane need to be tightly regulated to ensure cell viability. In monolayers of bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCEC),Cx43-mediated...
