Are calcium channel blockers related to lung cancer?

Drug Target Insights, 2023
Background: Calcium channel blocker (CCB) is a common antihypertensive agent for the treatment of hypertension. There are inconsistent data of an association of CCB and lung cancer in the literature.

Particle-based Multiscale Modeling of Calcium Puff Dynamics [PDF]

Multiscale Model. Simul. 14, 997-1016 (2016), 2015
Intracellular calcium is regulated in part by the release of Ca$^{2+}$ ions from the endoplasmic reticulum via inositol-4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP$_3$R) channels (among other possibilities such as RyR and L-type calcium channels). The resulting dynamics are highly diverse, lead to local calcium "puffs" as well as global waves propagating through ...

The solution supramolecular structure of α2 → 8 polysialic acid suggests a structural cause for its low immunogenicity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...

Virtual screening of DrugBank database for hERG blockers using topological Laplacian-assisted AI models [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The human {\it ether-a-go-go} (hERG) potassium channel (K$_\text{v}11.1$) plays a critical role in mediating cardiac action potential. The blockade of this ion channel can potentially lead fatal disorder and/or long QT syndrome. Many drugs have been withdrawn because of their serious hERG-cardiotoxicity.

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.

On‐treatment dynamics of circulating extracellular vesicles in the first‐line setting of patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer: the LEXOVE prospective study

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The LEXOVE prospective study evaluated plasma cell‐free extracellular vesicle (cfEV) dynamics using Bradford assay and dynamic light scattering in metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer patients undergoing first‐line treatments, correlating a ∆cfEV < 20% with improved median progression‐free survival in responders versus non‐responders.

Gingival Enlargement in Antihypertensive Medication

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2009
Introduction: Drug-induced gingival enlargement is a well documented side effect with the use of phenytoin, cyclosporine and calcium channel blockers. The prevalence of gingival enlargement induced by calcium channel blockers is uncertain.

Integrative analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients: a comprehensive approach

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study simultaneously investigated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and exosomes from small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. The elevated expression of JUNB and CXCR4 in CTCs was a poor prognostic factor for SCLC patients, whereas exosomal overexpression of these biomarkers revealed a high discrimination ability of patients from healthy individuals,
