Protriptyline block of the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) K+ channel.
Protriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant for psychiatric disorders, can induce prolonged QT, torsades de pointes, and sudden death. We studied the effects of protriptyline on human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes and HEK293 cells. Protriptyline induced a concentration-dependent decrease in current amplitudes at the end of the voltage steps and HERG tail ...
متن کاملHuman Ether-à-go-go–related Gene K+ Channel Gating Probed with Extracellular Ca2+
Human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) encoded K+ channels were expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells and studied by whole-cell voltage clamp in the presence of varied extracellular Ca2+ concentrations and physiological external K+. Elevation of external Ca2+ from 1.8 to 10 mM resulted in a reduction of whole-cell K+ current amplitude, slowed activation kinetics, and an increased r...
متن کاملTranscriptional and Post-Transcriptional Mechanisms for Oncogenic Overexpression of Ether À Go-Go K+ Channel
The human ether-à-go-go-1 (h-eag1) K(+) channel is expressed in a variety of cell lines derived from human malignant tumors and in clinical samples of several different cancers, but is otherwise absent in normal tissues. It was found to be necessary for cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis. Specific inhibition of h-eag1 expression leads to inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. We report h...
متن کاملEstrogens and human papilloma virus oncogenes regulate human ether-à-go-go-1 potassium channel expression.
Ether-à-go-go-1 (Eag1) potassium channels are potential tools for detection and therapy of numerous cancers. Here, we show human Eag1 (hEag1) regulation by cancer-associated factors. We studied hEag1 gene expression and its regulation by estradiol, antiestrogens, and human papillomavirus (HPV) oncogenes (E6/E7). Primary cultures from normal placentas and cervical cancer tissues; tumor cell line...
متن کاملp38 MAPK regulates the expression of ether à go-go potassium channel in human osteosarcoma cells
BACKGROUND The ether à go-go (Eag) channel has been shown to be overexpressed in a variety of cancers. However, the expression and function of Eag in osteosarcoma are poorly understood. In addition, the molecular mechanisms responsible for Eag overexpression in cancer cells remain unclear. METHODS The expression of Eag in human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 was detected by reverse transcriptio...
