Voltage-Gated Na+ Channel <i>SCN5A</i> Is a Key Regulator of a Gene Transcriptional Network That Controls Colon Cancer Invasion
22 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated Na(+) channels (VGSC) have been implicated in the metastatic potential of human breast, prostate, and lung cancer cells. Specifically, the SCN5A gene encoding the VGSC isotype Na(v)1.5 has been defined as a key driver of human cancer cell invasion. In this study, we examined the expression and function of VGSCs in a panel of colon cancer cell lines by electrophysiologic recordings. Na(+) channel...
