Background on Gap 27

Gap 27 is a peptide(Ser-Arg-Pro-Thr-Glu-Lys-Thr-Ile-Phe-Ile-Ile) derived from connexin 43 that is a selective gap junction blocker.

Connexins, or gap junctions, are a family of structurally-related transmembrane proteins. Gap junctions contain channels that allow the passage of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells. This intercellular communication has been implicated in the coordination of cellular responses to intracellular signaling molecules. Calcium and inositol phosphates are among the second messengers that can pass through gap junction channels. This synthetic connexin-mimetic peptide, Gap 27, was used to evaluate the contribution of gap-junctional communication to osteoclastic bone resorption. It was concluded that gap-junctional communication is necessary for proper bone remodeling.

Connexin-mimetic peptide Gap 27 decreases osteoclastic activity.[Pubmed:11747476]

BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2001;2:10. Epub 2001 Dec 5.

BACKGROUND: Bone remodelling is dependent on the balance between bone resorbing osteoclasts and bone forming osteoblasts. We have shown previously that osteoclasts contain gap-junctional protein connexin-43 and that a commonly used gap-junctional inhibitor, heptanol, can inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption. Since heptanol may also have some unspecific effect unrelated to gap-junctional inhibition we wanted to test the importance of gap-junctional communication to osteoclasts using a more specific inhibitor. METHODS: A synthetic connexin-mimetic peptide, Gap 27, was used to evaluate the contribution of gap-junctional communication to osteoclastic bone resorption. We utilised the well-characterised pit-formation assay to study the effects of the specific gap-junctional inhibitor to the survival and activity of osteoclasts. RESULTS: Gap 27 caused a remarked decrease in the number of both TRAP-positive mononuclear and multinucleated rat osteoclasts cultured on bovine bone slices. The decrease in the cell survival seemed to be restricted to TRAP-positive cells, whereas the other cells of the culture model seemed unaffected. The activity of the remaining osteoclasts was found to be diminished by measuring the percentage of osteoclasts with actin rings of all TRAP-positive cells. In addition, the resorbed area in the treated cultures was greatly diminished. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of these results we conclude that gap-junctional communication is essential for the action of bone resorbing osteoclasts and for proper remodelling for bone.

Effect of hinge gap width on the microflow structures in 27-mm bileaflet mechanical heart valves.[Pubmed:17152788]

J Heart Valve Dis. 2006 Nov;15(6):800-8.

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Most bileaflet mechanical heart valves (BMHVs) incorporate some retrograde flow through their hinge mechanism to prevent flow stasis and inhibit microthrombus formation. This reverse flow is characterized by high velocities and shear stresses, thereby promoting platelet activation and hemolysis inside the hinge region. In the present study, the thromboembolic potential of three 27-mm BMHVs with varying hinge gap widths was assessed via in-vitro characterization of the hinge microflow structures. METHODS: Three 27-mm BMHV prototypes with different hinge gap widths (50, 100, and 200 microm) were provided by St. Jude Medical Inc. The valves were mounted in the mitral position of a left heart flow simulator, and two-dimensional laser Doppler velocimetry was used to measure the hinge velocity fields. RESULTS: All three valve prototypes revealed Reynolds shear stress (RSS) levels above 2000 dynes/cm2, which exceeded the threshold for platelet activation and hemolysis. The hinge flow fields were characterized by leakage jets during systole, and a strong vortical flow during diastole. The leakage jet size and corresponding RSS levels were found to increase with the hinge gap width. All three gap widths had RSS >4000 dynes/cm2 (range: 5640 to 13,315 dynes/cm2). The hinge with the smallest gap width registered the highest jet velocity magnitude (2.08 m/s) during systole. CONCLUSION: The study results showed that the hinge gap width influences washout and RSS levels inside the hinge recess. The 100-microm hinge gap width provided optimum fluid dynamic performance. In contrast, the two valves with large and small hinge gap widths may have higher thromboembolic potential.

[Ah receptor-independent inhibition of gap junction intercellular communications in hepatoma cell culture 27 by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons].[Pubmed:19566034]

Tsitologiia. 2009;51(5):428-34.

One of the systems that regulate tissue homeostatis is gap junction intercellular communications (GJIC). Inhibition of GJIC is widely used in experiments as a characteristic of tumor promotion. It is accepted that the down-regulation of GJIC is tightly related with the tumor-promoting properties of carcinogens. In this study, the effect of some carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on GJIC in cell cultures of hepatoma 27 lacking cytochrome P450 and Ah receptor was investigated. It was shown that inter 6 compounds studied only benzo/a/pyren and 3-methylcholanthrene were able to inhibit GJIC. We have concluded that an unknown factor is present in hepatoma cells and its interaction with some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons results in GJIC inhibition. The investigation of mutual effect of benzo/a/pyrene and non carcinogenic benzo/e/pyrene with similar structure has shown that GJIC inhibition by benzo/a/pyrene is at least double stepped.

Vanishing N = 20 shell gap: study of excited states in (27,28)Ne.[Pubmed:16712361]

Phys Rev Lett. 2006 May 12;96(18):182501.

This Letter reports on the (1)H((28)Ne, (28)Ne) and (1)H((28)Ne, (27)Ne) reactions studied at intermediate energy using a liquid hydrogen target. From the cross section populating the first 2(+) excited state of (28)Ne, and using the previously determined BE(2) value, the neutron quadrupole transition matrix element has been calculated to be M(n)=13.8 +/- 3.7 fm(2). In the neutron knockout reaction, two low-lying excited states were populated in (27)Ne. Only one of them can be interpreted by the sd shell model while the additional state may intrude from the fp shell. These experimental observations are consistent with the presence of fp shell configurations at low excitation energy in (27,28)Ne nuclei caused by a vanishing N=20 shell gap at Z=10.

Suppression of K(+)-induced hyperpolarization by phenylephrine in rat mesenteric artery: relevance to studies of endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor.[Pubmed:11522590]

Br J Pharmacol. 2001 Sep;134(1):1-5.

In intact mesenteric arteries, increasing [K(+)]o by 5 mM hyperpolarized both endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Subsequent exposure to 10 microM phenylephrine depolarized both cell types which were then repolarized by a 5 mM increase in [K(+)]o. In endothelium-denuded vessels, increasing [K(+)]o by 5 mM hyperpolarized the smooth muscle but K(+) had no effect after depolarization by 10 microM phenylephrine. On subsequent exposure to iberiotoxin plus 4-aminopyridine, the repolarizing action of 5 mM K(+) was restored. In endothelium-intact vessels exposed to phenylephrine, pretreatment with a gap junction inhibitor (Gap 27) reduced K(+)-mediated smooth muscle repolarization without affecting the endothelial cell response. It is concluded that phenylephrine-induced efflux of K(+) via smooth muscle K(+) channels produces a local increase in [K(+)]o which impairs repolarization to added K(+). Thus, studies involving vessels precontracted with agonists which increase [K(+)]o maximize the role of gap junctions and minimize any contribution to the EDHF pathway from endothelium-derived K(+).

Biochemical and functional characterization of intercellular adhesion and gap junctions in fibroblasts.[Pubmed:10898726]

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol. 2000 Jul;279(1):C147-57.

Despite their significance in wound healing, little is known about the molecular determinants of cell-to-cell adhesion and gap junctional communication in fibroblasts. We characterized intercellular adherens junctions and gap junctions in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) using a novel model. Calcein-labeled donor cells in suspension were added onto an established, Texas red dextran (10 kDa)-labeled acceptor cell monolayer. Cell-to-cell adhesion required Ca(2+) and was >30-fold stronger than cell-to-fibronectin adhesion at 15 min. Electron micrographs showed rapid formation of adherens junction-like structures at approximately 15 min that matured by approximately 2-3 h; distinct gap junctional complexes were evident by approximately 3 h. Immunoblotting showed that HGF expressed beta-catenin and that cadherins and connexin43 were recruited to the Triton-insoluble cytoskeletal fraction in confluent cultures. Confocal microscopy localized the same molecules to intercellular contacts of acceptor and donor cells. There was extensive calcein dye transfer in a cohort of Texas red dextran-labeled cells, but this was almost completely abolished by the gap junction inhibitor beta-glycyrrhetinic acid and the connexin43 mimetic peptide Gap 27. This donor-acceptor cell model allows large numbers (>10(5)) of cells to form synchronous cell-to-cell contacts, thereby enabling the simultaneous functional and molecular studies of adherens junctions and gap junctions.

Central role of heterocellular gap junctional communication in endothelium-dependent relaxations of rabbit arteries.[Pubmed:9508817]

J Physiol. 1998 Apr 15;508 ( Pt 2):561-73.

1. The contribution of gap junctions to endothelium-dependent relaxation was investigated in isolated rabbit conduit artery preparations pre-constricted by 10 microM phenylephrine (PhE). 2. Acetylcholine (ACh) relaxed the thoracic aorta by approximately 60 % and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) by approximately 90 %. A peptide possessing sequence homology with extracellular loop 2 of connexin 43 (Gap 27, 300 microM) inhibited relaxation by approximately 40 % in both artery types. Gap 27 also attenuated the endothelium-dependent component of the relaxation induced by ATP in thoracic aorta but did not modify force development in response to PhE. 3. NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 300 microM), an inhibitor of NO synthase, attenuated ACh-induced relaxation by approximately 90 % in the aorta but only by approximately 40 % in SMA (P < 0.05). Residual L-NAME-insensitive relaxations were almost abolished by 300 microM Gap 27 in aorta and inhibited in a concentration-dependent fashion in SMA (approximately 50 % at 100 microM and approximately 80 % at 10 mM). Gap 27 similarly attenuated the endothelium-dependent component of L-NAME-insensitive relaxations to ATP in aorta. 4. Responses to cyclopiazonic acid, which stimulates endothelium-dependent relaxation through a receptor-independent mechanism, were also attenuated by Gap 27, whereas this peptide exerted no effect on the NO-mediated relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside in preparations denuded of endothelium. 5. ACh-induced relaxation of 'sandwich' mounts of aorta or SMA were unaffected by Gap 27 but completely abolished by L-NAME. 6. We conclude that direct heterocellular communication between the endothelium and smooth muscle contributes to endothelium-dependent relaxations evoked by both receptor-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The inhibitory effects of Gap 27 peptide do not involve homocellular communication within the vessel wall or modulation of NO release or action.
