From: Connexin-mimetic peptide Gap 27 decreases osteoclastic activity
Gap 27 decreases osteoclastic survival. (A) The numbers of mononuclear and (B) multinucleated TRAP-positive cells are both decreased with Gap 27 – treatment. (C) The survival rate of osteoclasts also decreases when gap-junctional communication is blocked. Values are the means of three independent experiments. Data are expressed as means ± SEM and n = 5, representing the numbers of bone slices in each study group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, relative to control.
