Kv3.4 potassium channel-mediated electrosignaling controls cell cycle and survival of irradiated leukemia cells

Abstract: Aberrant ion channel expression in the plasma membrane is characteristic for many tumor entities and has been attributed to neoplastic transformation, tumor progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. The present study aimed to define the function of these "oncogenic" channels for radioresistance of leukemia cells. Chronic myeloid leukemia cells were irradiated (0-6 Gy X ray), ion channel expression and activity, Ca(2+)- and protein signaling, cell cycle progression, and cell survival were assessed by qua… Show more

“…In leukemia, IR-induced co-activation of both Ca 2þ -permeable channels and K þ channels gives rise to Ca 2þ signals that induce cell-cycle arrest via CaMKII-mediated inhibition of the mitosis-promoting factor cdc2. Notably, pharmacologic K þ channel blockade overrides cell-cycle arrest of irradiated leukemia cells resulting in radiosensitization (27). In the present study, irradiated cells exhibited an elevated steady state i [Ca 2þ ] free that was almost as double as high as the resting i [Ca 2þ ] free of unirradiated cells (see Fig.…”

“…The present study demonstrates IR-induced Ca 2þ signaling and activation of Ca IR-induced modifications of Ca 2þ signaling and/or K þ channel activity have been reported by our group in different tumor entities such as lung adenocarcinoma (28), leukemia cells (27,29), or glioblastoma (21). In lung adenocarcinoma, K þ channels contribute to an elevated glucose uptake by the irradiated cells.…”

“…Studies of our laboratory indicate that survival of irradiated human leukemia cells critically depends on Ca 2+ signaling involving radiogenic activation of TRPV5/6-like nonselective cation and K v 3.4 voltage-gated K + channels [40,41]. The nonselective cation channels in concert with K v 3.4 generate radiogenic Ca 2+ signals that contribute to G 2 /M cell cycle arrest by CaMKII-mediated inhibition of the phosphatase cdc25B.…”

“…Radiation treatment can also increase Kv3.4 channel activity in leukemic cells to promote calcium entry and CaMKII-dependent cancer cell survival (Palme et al, 2013). Low-dosage radiation induces voltage-dependent potassium channel activity that is otherwise not present in human lung adenocarcinoma cells (Kuo et al, 1993).…”
