Title: The L-type Ca2+ channel blocker nifedipine inhibits mycelial growth, sporulation, and virulence of Phytophthora capsici

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The oomycete vegetable pathogen Phytophthora capsici causes significant losses of important vegetable crops worldwide. Calcium and other plant nutrients have been used in disease management of oomycete pathogens.

Calcium channels in lymphocytes [PDF]

open access: yesImmunology, 2001
On B and T lymphocytes, ligation of the antigen receptor (AgR) induces a biphasic Ca2+ response. In the initial phase there is a large elevation in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as a consequence of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. This is followed by a lower, but prolonged elevation that is dependent on extracellular Ca2+.1,2 This simple ...

Ito channels are octomeric complexes with four subunits of each Kv4.2 and K+ channel-interacting protein 2. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Mammalian voltage-gated K+ channels are assemblies of pore-forming alpha-subunits and modulating beta-subunits. To operate correctly, Kv4 alpha-subunits in the heart and central nervous system require recently identified beta-subunits of the neuronal ...

Detection of circulating tumor DNA in colorectal cancer patients using a methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.

BK channel activators and their therapeutic perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The large conductance calcium- and voltage-activated K(+) channel (KCa1.1, BK, MaxiK) is ubiquitously expressed in the body, and holds the ability to integrate changes in intracellular calcium and membrane potential.

Effect of Efonidipine on TGF-β1–Induced Cardiac Fibrosis Through Smad2-Dependent Pathway in Rat Cardiac Fibroblasts

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2011
.: Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) plays a critical role in progression of cardiac fibrosis, which may involve intracellular calcium change. We examined effects of efonidipine, a dual T-type and L-type calcium channel blocker (CCB), on TGF-β1 ...

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox
