Journal ArticleDOI

Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Expression and Potentiation of Human Breast Cancer Metastasis

TL;DR: Investigating voltage-gated Na+ channel expression and its possible role in human breast cancer found up-regulation of neonatal Nav1.5 protein in its newly identified “neonatal” splice form could serve both as a novel marker of the metastatic phenotype and a therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Directional movement of rat prostate cancer cells in direct-current electric field: involvement of voltagegated Na+ channel activity.

TL;DR: The results showed that the highly metastatic MAT-LyLu cells responded to the application of the electric field strongly by migrating towards the cathode, which is consistent with functional voltage-gated Na+ channel expression occurring specifically inhighly metastatic cells.
Journal Article

Expression and functional analysis of voltage-activated Na+ channels in human prostate cancer cell lines and their contribution to invasion in vitro.

TL;DR: Tetrodotoxin reduced the invasiveness of PC-3 but not LNCaP cells, and these data suggest that ion channels may play an important functional role in tumor invasion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential expression of voltage-activated Na+ currents in two prostatic tumour cell lines: contribution to invasiveness in vitro

TL;DR: The voltage‐gated ionic currents of two rodent prostatic cancer cell lines were investigated using the whole‐cell patch clamp technique and tetrodotoxin had no effect on the invasiveness of the AT‐2 cells.
