TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

T-type calcium channels functionally interact with spectrin (α/β) and ankyrin B
Molecular Brain, 2018 This study describes the functional interaction between the Cav3.1 and Cav3.2 T-type calcium channels and cytoskeletal spectrin (α/β) and ankyrin B proteins.

Systematic profiling of cancer‐fibroblast interactions reveals drug combinations in ovarian cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Fibroblasts, cells in the tumor environment, support ovarian cancer cell growth and alter morphology and drug response. We used fibroblast and cancer cell co‐culture models to test 528 drugs and discovered new drugs for combination treatment. We showed that adding Vorinostat or Birinapant to standard chemotherapy may improve drug response, suggesting ...

Quantitative aspects of L-type calcium currents [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Calcium currents in neurons and muscle cells have been classified as being one of 5 types of which four, L, N, P/Q and R were said to be high threshold and one, T, was designated low threshold. This review focuses on quantitative aspects of L-type currents.

Calcium Channel Blockers and Hypertension
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2014 Effective treatment of high blood pressure (BP) represents a key strategy for reducing the burden of hypertension-related cardiovascular and renal diseases. In spite of these well-established concepts, hypertension remains poorly controlled worldwide.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The A3 adenosine receptors (A3ARs) are overexpressed in prostate cancer. AR 292 and AR 357, as A3AR antagonists, are capable of blocking proliferation, modulating the expression of drug transporter genes involved in chemoresistance, ferroptosis, and the hypoxia response, and inducing cell death.

Calcium-permeable ion channels in control of autophagy and cancer
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Autophagy, or cellular self-eating, is a tightly regulated cellular pathway the main purpose of which is lysosomal degradation and subsequent recycling of cytoplasmic material to maintain normal cellular homeostasis.

Journal of Cell Biology, 2009 Thanks to a protein that helps fruit flies remain airborne, researchers have deciphered a key step in synapse maturation. [Fouquet et al.][1] show that the protein forms part of a synaptic structure that clusters the calcium channels necessary for neurotransmitter release.
