Abstract

Ether-á-go-go-1 (Eag1) is a CNS-localized voltage-gated potassium channel that is found ectopically expressed in a majority of extracranial solid tumors. While circumstantial evidence linking Eag1 to tumor biology has been well established, the mechanisms by which the channel contributes to tumor progression remain elusive. In this study, we have used in vivo and in vitro techniques to identify a candidate mechanism. A mutation that eliminates ion permeation fails to completely abolish xenograft tumor formation by transfected cells, indicating that Eag1 contributes to tumor progression independently of its primary function as an ion channel. Our data suggest that Eag1 interferes with the cellular mechanism for maintaining oxygen homeostasis, increasing HIF-1 activity, and thereby VEGF secretion and tumor vascularization.

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.
