Verapamil Inhibits Proliferation of LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cells Influencing K+ Channel Gating

Abstract: The mechanisms of verapamil and tetraethylammonium (TEA) inhibition of voltage-gated K ϩ channels in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells were studied in whole-cell and outside/insideout patch-clamp configurations. Rapidly activating outward K ϩ

“…In addition, inhibition of delayed-rectifier channels of the Kv protein family by antagonists such as TEA or 4-AP alters cell growth in various tumor cell types (Pancrazio et al, 1993;Rouzaire-Dubois and Dubois, 1998;Rybalchenko et al, 2001). Consistent with these observations, we show here that TEA and 4-AP, but not the hSK channel blocker apamin, inhibit both the VOK current and cell growth in Jurkat cells.…”

“…This prolonged latency may be explained by the wash-out of some intracellular factors in conventional whole-cell configuration, such as delayers or channel activation modulators. Indeed, we had previously verified the rate of intracellular perfusion in LNCaP cells (38): it took about 3-4 minutes to replace half the cell cytoplasm solution with pipette solution. In the Fura-2 experiments, the [Ca 2+ ] i response latency was even more prolonged (at least 20 minutes).…”

“…Recent studies on cellular models, however, have shown that calcium-channel blockers inhibit PCa cell proliferation (7)(8)(9). Rybalchenko et al showed that extracellular application of verapamil inhibits proliferation of the human PCa cell line LNCaP (8).…”
