Figure 4From: Exogenous Cx43 expression decrease cell proliferation rate in rat hepatocarcinoma cells independently of functional gap junctionImages obtained by Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy showing Cx43 immunoreaction (green). The Cx43 is observed in cell surface in BRL3A (A) and HTC-Cx43 (C and D), while in HTC, the Cx43 is visualized only on cytoplasm. In Orthogonal sections of HTC-Cx43 (D), the strong Cx43 immunoreaction in mitotic cell surface shows hemichannels formation. The nuclei were stained with Propidium Iodide (red).Back to article page
