Expression and activity of potassium ion channels in human prostate cancer
Abstract
Four normal and 79 human prostate cancer (Pca) specimens were examined, by immunohistochemistry, for expression of voltage-gated potassium ion channels. Strong immunostaining (for Kv1.3) was observed in the normal and 47% (37/79) of Pca specimens. Twenty-nine percent (23/79) Pca specimens showed moderate and 24% (19/79) displayed low staining. Three potassium channel-openers at a concentration of 10 microg/mL, minoxidil (47.8 microM), 1-Ethyl-2-benzimidazolinone (EBIO) (61.7 microM) and diazoxide (43.3 microM), increased growth of PC3 cells by 30-50%. Potassium channel-blockers, dequalinium, amiodarone and glibenclamide, caused a dose-dependent, growth inhibition of four human Pca cell lines. Apoptosis occurred within 4h of treatment of PC3 cells with dequalinium (0.5 microg/mL, 0.9 microM), amiodarone (5 microg/mL, 7.3 microM) or glibenclamide (50 microg/mL, 0.1mM).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
