Mutations of lens connexins are linked to congenital cataracts. However, the role of connexin mutations in the development of age-related lens opacification remains largely unknown. Here, we present a focused review of the literature on lens organization and factors associated with cataract development. Several lines of evidence indicate that disturbances of the lens circulation by dysfunctional connexin channels, and/or accumulation of protein damage due to oxidative stress, are key factors in cataract development. Phosphorylation by protein kinase A improves the permeability of connexins channels to small molecules and mitigates the lens clouding induced by oxidative stress. We conclude (1) that connexin channels are central to the lens circulation and (2) that their permeability to antioxidant molecules contributes to the maintenance of lens transparency.
