| 1 | Glia and hemichannels: key mediators of perinatal encephalopathy显示文摘Perinatal encephalopathy remains a major cause of disability, such as cerebral palsy. Therapeutic hypothermia is now well established to partially reduce risk of disability in late preterm/term infants. However, new and complementary therapeutic targets are needed to further improve outcomes. There is increasing evidence that glia play a key role in neural damage after hypoxia-ischemia and infection/inflammation. In this review, we discuss the role of astrocytic gap junction(connexin) hemichannels in the spread of neural injury after hypoxia-ischemia and/or infection/inflammation. Potential mechanisms of hemichannel mediated injury likely involve impaired intracellular calcium handling, loss of blood-brain barrier integrity and release of adenosine triphosphate(ATP) resulting in over-activation of purinergic receptors. We propose the hypothesis that inflammation-induced opening of connexin hemichannels is a key regulating event that initiates a vicious cycle of excessive ATP release, which in turn propagates activation of purinergic receptors on microglia and astrocytes. This suggests that developing new neuroprotective strategies for preterm infants will benefit from a detailed understanding of glial and connexin hemichannel responses. | Robert Galinsky Joanne O.Davidson Justin M.Dean Colin R.Green Laura Bennet Alistair J.Gunn | 2018 | Neural Regeneration Research2018，13，2： | 1 |
| 2 | Connexin therapeutics:blocking connexin hemichannel pores is distinct from blocking pannexin channels or gap junctions显示文摘Compounds that block the function of connexin and pannexin protein channels have been suggested to be valuable therapeutics for a range of diseases.Some of these compounds are now in clinical trials,but for many of them,the literature is inconclusive about the molecular effect on the tissue,despite evidence of functional recovery.Blocking the different channel types has distinct physiological and pathological implications and this review describes current knowledge of connexin and pannexin protein channels,their function as channels and possible mechanisms of the channel block effect for the latest therapeutic compounds.We summarize the evidence implicating pannexins and connexins in disease,considering their homeostatic versus pathological roles,their contribution to excesive ATP release linked to disease onset and progression. | Monica L.Acosta Mohd N.Mat Nor Cindy X.Guo Odunayo O.Mugisho Frazer P.Coutinho Ilva D.Rupenthal Colin R.Green | 2021 | Neural Regeneration Research2021，16，3： | 1 |
