| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ca2+-activated K+ channels (KCa) are key molecules in cancer progression and are considered to be potential targets for cancer therapy. KCa2.2 was predominantly expressed in human prostate cancer (PCa) tissues and human PCa cell lines, LNCaP and VCaP, with higher expression levels of androgen receptor (AR). A Ca2+-activated K+ channel blocker, UCL1684 suppressed the cell proliferation through the inhibition of the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in LNCaP cells. The anti-androgenic agents and the siRNA-mediated inhibition of AR expression downregulated the expression levels of KCa2.2 in LNCaP cells. Additionally, the expression levels of KCa2.2 was upregulated with the upregulation of AR transcripts under long-term, androgen-deficient condition, whereas it was downregulated under short-term condition. These results suggest that KCa2.2 might induce a possible candidate for novel treatment target of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, CRPC.
