Down-Regulation of <i>SLC8A1</i> as a Putative Apoptosis Evasion Mechanism by Modulation of Calcium Levels in Penile Carcinoma
3 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The SLC8A1 gene, which encodes the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger, has a key role in calcium homeostasis. Our previous gene expression oligoarray data revealed SLC8A1 under expression in penile carcinoma. We investigated whether dysregulation of SLC8A1 expression is associated with apoptosis and cell proliferation in penile carcinoma via modulation of the calcium concentration. The underlying mechanisms of...
