Effects of extracellular calcium and magnesium on junctional intercellular communication in human fibroblasts

J S Davidson et al. Exp Cell Res. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

The role of extracellular calcium and magnesium in intercellular communication via permeable junctions was studied by measuring metabolic co-operation between ASS- and ASL- human fibroblasts. Communication through pre-existing junctions was not affected by the removal of extracellular calcium and magnesium from the medium. On the other hand, the establishment of communication through new permeable junctions, when ASS- and ASL- cells were mixed, was dependent on the presence of extracellular calcium and magnesium.
