| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cardiac glycosides, specific Na,K-ATPase inhibitors, has been suggested to be a valuable anti-cancer drugs. However, the molecular mechanisms for anti-cancer effects of the drugs has not been fully understood. In this study, we have clarified that non-pumping (receptor type) Na,K-ATPase is functionally coupled with volume-sensitive outwardly rectifying (VSOR) anion channels in membrane microdomains of human cancer cells. Submicromolar ouabain activates the cancer cells-specific crosstalk between Na,K-ATPase and VSOR channels in membrane microdomains mediated by NADPH oxidase-dependent reactive oxygen species generation. The activation of VSOR channels elicits anti-proliferative effects in cancer cells.
