Reduced expression of the P2 form of the gap junction protein connexin43 in malignant meningiomas.

Abstract:

:Neoplastic transformation is often associated with aberrant gap junctional intercellular communication. We assessed mutations and expression of the connexin43 (Cx43) gene in 49 intracranial meningiomas. SSCP analyses followed by direct DNA sequencing showed GCG-->GTG (Ala-->Val) transition mutation in codon 253 of the cytoplasmic carboxyl terminal of the Cx43 gene in 1 of 31 (3%) benign meningiomas and 1 of 14 (7%) anaplastic meningiomas. The same base change was present in normal tissue from these patients and also in 4 of 80 (5%) DNA samples extracted from lymphocytes of healthy Europeans, suggesting that this constitutes a newly identified Cx43 polymorphism. Western blot analyses showed expression of phosphorylated P1 (45 kD) and P2 (47 kD) Cx43 as well as the unphosphorylated form (42 kD) in 11 of 14 (79%) benign meningiomas. In contrast, the P2 form was not detectable in the majority (7 of 9; 78%) of atypical and anaplastic meningiomas. Since the presence of the P2 form is often associated with optimal function of the Cx43, these results suggest that loss or impaired gap junctional cell to cell communication may be associated with meningiomas displaying more rapid growth and a less favorable prognosis.
