“…Inhibiting K ϩ channels by TEA or 4-AP are protective against apoptosis in several cell types (Yu et al, 1997;Colom et al, 1998;Dallaporta et al, 1999;Wang et al, 1999Wang et al, , 2000Krick et al, 2001); on the other hand, 4-AP is toxic in malignant astrocytoma cell lines and HepG2 human hepatoblastoma cells (Chin et al, 1997;Kim et al, 2000). Our data suggest that blocking the Na ϩ ,K ϩ -ATPase, but not the K ϩ channels, is likely the primary mechanism underlying the Apoptotic and necrotic morphological alterations were examined by electron microscopy.…”

“…Recent studies have shown that 4-AP, at commonly used concentrations, can cause apoptosis in hepatoblastoma cells (Kim et al, 2000) and malignant astrocytoma cell lines (Chin et al, 1997). Another classical K ϩ channel blocker tetraethylammonium (TEA) at high concentrations also shows toxic effects on cortical neurons (Yu et al, 1997).…”

“…Along those lines, the pharmacological inhibition of K þ channels may compromise cell proliferation [100,101]. The cell membrane of tumour cells is, however, rather depolarized compared with excitable cells, epithelia or differentiated glial cells [102].…”

“…Cellular K ϩ loss has previously been shown to be one determinant of eryptosis (48). Similarly, cellular K ϩ loss has been implicated in the apoptosis of nucleated cells under a variety of conditions (12,20,54,61,76,79), including stimulation of TNF receptors (32), CD95 activation (34,71), glucocorticoid (7,80,81), GABA (30) or dopamine (60) treatment, growth factor depletion (72), thyroid status (3), sulfonylureas (5), etoposide treatment (69), transformation (77), choline deficiency (2), glutamine depletion (68), oxidative stress (8,62), hypoxia (53), radiation (67), sphingosine treatment (21), amyloid treatment (18), staurosporine (63), urea (56), Cl Ϫ channel blockers (73), and K ϩ channel blockers (17). However, the evidence for a causal role of K ϩ channels in the enhanced susceptibility of tg6 erythrocytes to eryptosis is at present circumstantial.…”
