In the central nervous system, Connexin-43 (Cx43) forms this junctional networking. Moreover, it correlates with the proliferation rate, and thus behavior, of gliomas. We assessed the expression of Cx43 and its relationship to Ki67 in other common central nervous system tumors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The expression of Cx43 and Ki67 were assessed in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples of human brain metastases, meningiomas, and neurinomas using immunohistochemistry.

Five (36%) metastases and 5 (31%) meningiomas\/neurinomas showed minor expression, whereas 6 (43%) metastases and 2 (13%) meningiomas\/neurinomas showed no Cx43 expression at all. In 3 (21%) metastases and 9 (56%) meningiomas\/neurinomas, moderate or strong expression of Cx43 was identified. The higher expression of Cx43 in meningiomas and neurinomas directly correlated with Ki67, r\u2009=\u20090.53 ( P\u2009=\u20090.034). For metastases no significant correlation was found. Mitotic index in meningiomas\/neurinomas correlated with Ki67 expression, r\u2009=\u20090.74 ( P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), but did not show statistically significant correlation with Cx43 expression in these tumors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The expression of Cx43 as a marker of cell-to-cell networking exposed a significant correlation with the Ki67-defined proliferation index in case of primary central nervous system neuroectodermal neoplasms.
