摘要：

All-trans retinoic acid (10(-7) M) induces cell-cell communication and expression of the gap junction protein connexin43 in mouse F9 teratocarcinoma cells. Northern blot analysis revealed an increase of connexin43 mRNA after treatment with retinoic acid, accompanied by an increase of the mRNA of collagen IV, a differentiation marker. To address the question at what level gene expression is enhanced by retinoic acid, nuclear run-on experiments were carried out. There was no detectable change in the level of newly transcribed connexin43 mRNA. Therefore, we postulate a post-transcriptional mechanism responsible for the regulation of connexin43 mRNA levels by retinoic acid.
