摘要: Background Calcitriol antiproliferative effects include inhibition of the oncogenic ether-a-go-go-1 potassium channel (Eag1) expression, which is necessary for cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis. Astemizole, a new promising antineoplastic drug, targets Eag1 by blocking ion currents. Herein, we characterized interaction between calcitriol astemizole as well their conjoint action in SUM-229PE, T-47D primary tumor-derived breast cancer cells.
