Cancer as a channelopathy: ion channels and pumps in tumor development and progression
Increasing evidence suggests that ion channels and pumps not only regulate membrane potential, ion homeostasis, and electric signaling in excitable cells but also play important roles in cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis and differentiation. Consistent with a role in cell signaling, channel proteins and ion pumps can form macromolecular complexes with growth factors, and cell adhesion an...

abstract a fundamental study of “historio-graphic metafiction” and “literary genres”, as introduced in “new historical philosophy”, and tracing them in the works of julian barnes having studied the two novels, the porcupine and arthur & george, by julian barnes, the researcher has applied linda hutcheon’s historio-graphic metafictional theories to them. the thesis is divided into five cha...
15 صفحه اولIon channels and transporters in cancer. 6. Vascularizing the tumor: TRP channels as molecular targets.
Tumor vascularization is a critical process that determines tumor growth and metastasis. In the last decade new experimental evidence obtained from in vitro and in vivo studies have challenged the classical angiogenesis model forcing us to consider new scenarios for tumor neovascularization. In particular, the genetic stability of tumor-derived endothelial cells (TECs) has been recently questio...
متن کاملPrinciples of selective ion transport in channels and pumps.
The transport of ions across the membranes of cells and organelles is a prerequisite for many of life's processes. Transport often involves very precise selectivity for specific ions. Recently, atomic-resolution structures have been determined for channels or pumps that are selective for sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride: four of the most abundant ions in biology. From these structures w...
متن کاملIon channels and transporters in cancer. 3. Ion channels in the tumor cell-microenvironment cross talk.
The traditional view of cancer as a collection of proliferating cells must be reconsidered, and cancer must be viewed as a "tissue" constituted by both transformed cells and a heterogeneous microenvironment, that tumor cells construct and remodel during multistep tumorigenesis. The "tumor microenvironment" (TM) is formed by mesenchymal, endothelial, and immune cells immersed in a network of ext...
