摘要: Some of lipophilic statins have been reported to enhance toxicities induced by antineoplastic agents but the underling mechanism is unclear. The authors investigated involvement Cx43-mediated gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) in effect simvastatin on cellular toxicity etoposide this study. results showed that a major component cytotoxicity therapeutic levels mediated junctions composed connexin 43(Cx43) and at dosage which does not induce enhances increasing coupling. augmentative GJIC was related inhibition PKC-mediated Cx43 phosphorylation ser368 subsequent enhancement membrane location agent. present study suggests possibility upregulation may be utilized increase efficacy anticancer chemotherapies.
