Connexin43 (Cx43) expression does not affect tumor cell adhesion to the endothelium. HBL100, HBL100v and Cx43 expressing HBL100 cells (HBL100Cx43) were labeled with dioctadecyl-3, 3,3', 3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine percholate (DiI), added for 1 h to endothelial monolayers and co-cultures were washed to remove non-adherent cells. Fluorescence intensity measurements revealed no significant difference in the number of tumor cells attached to the endothelium regardless of cell type. Data are expressed as mean percentage ± SEM of three independent experiments with eight replicates.
