Human coronavirus OC43 infection remodels Connexin 43 mediated gap junction intercellular communication in vitro

Souvik Karmakar, Jayasri Das Sarma

This study shows that OC43 infection reduces Cx43 expression and impairs gap junction communication in A549 cells, suggesting this pathway could be a therapeutic target for human beta-coronaviruses.
