摘要: The transient receptor potential TRPM7 ion channel is required for cellular proliferation in pancreatic epithelia and adenocarcinoma. To elucidate the mechanism that mediates function of TRPM7, we examined its role survival cancer cells. RNA interference-mediated silencing did not induce apoptotic cell death. TRPM7-deficient cells underwent replicative senescence with up-regulation p16(CDKN2A) WRN mRNA. combination anti-TRPM7 siRNA gemcitabine produced enhanced cytotoxicity as compared to alone. Thus, preventing senescence, modulation expression may help improve treatment response by combining apoptosis-inducing agents.
