K+ channel suppression may curb leukemia cell growth via ERK/Akt; hypothesis-generating, needs in vivo validation before any clinical consideration.
Inhibition of voltage-gated K+ channels attenuates insulin-stimulated proliferation of ML-1 leukemia cells by preventing activation of ERK1/2 and Akt pathways.
Guo et al. (2005) studied Myeloblastic leukemia (in vitro). 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), barium, and tetraethylammonium was evaluated on Cell proliferation and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt. Suppression of voltage-gated K+ channels with 4-AP inhibited EGF- and insulin-stimulated myeloblastic leukemia ML-1 cell proliferation and prevented phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and Akt.
