Ion channels as targets for cancer therapy.
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world. Conventional treatments have severe side effects and low survival rate. It is important to discover new targets and therapeutic strategies to improve the clinical outcomes of cancer patients. Ion channels are specialized membrane proteins that play important roles in various physiological processes. Recent studies have shown that abnormal express...
متن کاملMechanosensitive ion channels as drug targets.
Mechanically sensitive ion channels (MSCs) are ubiquitous. They exist as two major types: those in specialized receptors that require fibrous proteins to transmit forces to the channel, and those in non-specialized tissues that respond to stress in the lipid bilayer. While few MSCs have been cloned, the existing structures show no sequence or structural homology--an example of convergent evolut...
متن کاملIon Channels in Obesity: Pathophysiology and Potential Therapeutic Targets
Obesity is a multifactorial disease related to metabolic disorders and associated with genetic determinants. Currently, ion channels activity has been linked to many of these disorders, in addition to the central regulation of food intake, energetic balance, hormone release and response, as well as the adipocyte cell proliferation. Therefore, the objective of this work is to review the current ...
متن کاملIon channels as targets for treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders.
the relative lack of current drugs targeting ion channels suggests that there are also disadvantages to targeting ion channels. This is indeed the case. Disadvantages include: 1. Most ion channels are expressed in more than one cell type decreasing the ability to target organs 2. Given their critical role in cellular homeostasis, modulation can have significant side effects 3. A specific disadv...
متن کاملAcid-Sensing Ion Channels as Potential Therapeutic Targets in Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are a family of proton-sensing channels that are voltage insensitive, cation selective (mostly permeable to Na+), and nonspecifically blocked by amiloride. Derived from 5 genes (ACCN1-5), 7 subunits have been identified, 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3, 4, and 5, that are widely expressed in the peripheral and central nervous system as well as other tissues. Over the years, ...
