Blockade of T-Type Ca<sup>2+</sup>Channels Inhibits Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Proliferation
26 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Regulation of Ca(2+) channels has been implicated in the progression of tumor cells. We report here that T-type Ca(2+) channel expression in human ovarian cancer tissues is greatly increased compared to normal ovarian tissues. Blockade of T-type Ca(2+) channel with NNC 55-0396, mibefradil, or by specifically knocking down the expression of these proteins with siRNA-Ca(v)3.1/3.2 suppressed the proliferation of two...
