Unraveled roles of Cav1.2 in proliferation and stemness of ameloblastoma

Cell & Bioscience, 2022
Background Transcriptome analysis has been known as a functional tool for cancer research recently. Mounting evidence indicated that calcium signaling plays several key roles in cancer progression.

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Cryo-EM structure of the polycystic kidney disease-like channel PKD2L1

Nature Communications, 2018
Polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PKD2L1) is a voltage-dependent calcium-dependent nonselective ion channel involved in sour taste perception and regulation of pH-dependent action potential of spinal cord neurons. Here the authors present the 3.

New Insights in CaVβ Subunits: Role in the Regulation of Gene Expression and Cellular Homeostasis

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The voltage-gated calcium channels (CaVs or VGCCs) are fundamental regulators of intracellular calcium homeostasis. When electrical activity induces their activation, the influx of calcium that they mediate or their interaction with intracellular players

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Scanning mutagenesis of the I-II loop of the Ca_v2.2 calcium channel identifies residues Arginine 376 and Valine 416 as molecular determinants of voltage dependent G protein inhibition

Molecular Brain, 2010
Direct interaction with the β subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein complex causes voltage-dependent inhibition of N-type calcium channels. To further characterize the molecular determinants of this interaction, we performed scanning mutagenesis of ...

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Regulation of Presynaptic Calcium Channels by Synaptic Proteins

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003
Calcium entry into nerve termini via voltage gated calcium channels is an essential step in neurotransmission. Consequently, second messenger regulation of calcium channel activity modulates synaptic activity.

Block of Voltage-Dependent Calcium Channels by Aliphatic Monoamines [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2000
We have recently identified farnesol, an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway, as a potent endogenous modulator and blocker of N-type calcium channels (Roullet, J. B., R. L. Spaetgens, T. Burlingame, and G. W. Zamponi. 1999. J. Biol. Chem. 274:25439-25446).
