Abstract
Cancer cells proliferate, differentiate and migrate by repurposing physiological signalling mechanisms. In particular, altered calcium signalling is emerging as one of the most widespread adaptations in cancer cells. Remodelling of calcium signalling promotes the development of several malignancies, including prostate cancer. Gene expression data from in vitro, in vivo and bioinformatics studies using patient samples and xenografts have shown considerable changes in the expression of various components of the calcium signalling toolkit during the development of prostate cancer. Moreover, preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that altered calcium signalling is a crucial component of the molecular re-programming that drives prostate cancer progression. Evidence points to calcium signalling re-modelling, commonly involving crosstalk between calcium and other cellular signalling pathways, underpinning the onset and temporal progression of this disease. Discrete alterations in calcium signalling have been implicated in hormone-sensitive, castration-resistant and aggressive variant forms of prostate cancer. Hence, modulation of calcium signals and downstream effector molecules is a plausible therapeutic strategy for both early and late stages of prostate cancer. Based on this premise, clinical trials have been undertaken to establish the feasibility of targeting calcium signalling specifically for prostate cancer.

Abstract
Here, we investigated the reaction of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1,3-diazido-2-nitro-2- azapropane (DANP) to propargyl alcohol over a copper-based catalyst and identified the optimum reaction conditions that enable the synthesis of 2-nitro-1,3-bis(4,4'-dihydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazolyl-2-azapropane (1) in more than 84% yield. The reaction between DANP, 1,5-diazido-3-nitrazapentane, and phenylacetylene produced the respective 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in 83% and 71% yields, respectively. The structures of the resultant compounds were validated by infrared and NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. The structure of 1 was proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This study demonstrated that 1 exhibits a dose-dependent antiarrhythmic activity towards calcium-chloride-induced arrhythmia and refers to Class III: moderately hazardous substances.

Abstract
Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) is the major pathway of Ca2+ entry in mammalian cells, and regulates a variety of cellular functions including proliferation, motility, apoptosis, and death. Accumulating evidence has indicated that augmented SOCE is related to the generation and development of cancer, including tumor formation, proliferation, angiogenesis, metastasis, and antitumor immunity. Therefore, the development of compounds targeting SOCE has been proposed as a potential and effective strategy for use in cancer therapy. In this review, we summarize the current research on SOCE inhibitors and blockers, discuss their effects and possible mechanisms of action in cancer therapy, and induce a new perspective on the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
In the adult, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are normally physiologically quiescent, arranged circumferentially in one or more layers within blood vessel walls. Remodelling of native VSMC to a proliferative state for vascular development, adaptation or repair is driven by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). A key effector downstream of PDGF receptors is store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) mediated through the plasma membrane calcium ion channel, ORAI1, which is activated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium store sensor, stromal interaction molecule-1 (STIM1). This SOCE was shown to play fundamental roles in the pathological remodelling of VSMC. Exciting transgenic lineage-tracing studies have revealed that the contribution of the phenotypically-modulated VSMC in atherosclerotic plaque formation is more significant than previously appreciated, and growing evidence supports the relevance of ORAI1 signalling in this pathologic remodelling. ORAI1 has also emerged as an attractive potential therapeutic target as it is accessible to extracellular compound inhibition. This is further supported by the progression of several ORAI1 inhibitors into clinical trials. Here we discuss the current knowledge of ORAI1-mediated signalling in pathologic vascular remodelling, particularly in the settings of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and neointimal hyperplasia, and the recent developments in our understanding of the mechanisms by which ORAI1 coordinates VSMC phenotypic remodelling, through the activation of key transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT). In addition, we discuss advances in therapeutic strategies aimed at the ORAI1 target.

Abstract
Cancer can be considered a disease of deranged intracellular signalling. The intracellular signalling pathways that mediate the effects of oncogenes on cell growth and transformation present attractive targets for the development of new classes of drugs for the prevention and treatment of cancer. This is a new approach to developing anticancer drugs and the potential, as well as some of the problems, inherent in the approach are discussed. Anticancer drugs that produce their effects by disrupting signalling pathways are already in clinical trial. Some properties of these drugs, as well as other inhibitors of signalling pathways under development as potential anticancer drugs, are reviewed.

Abstract
Ras converting enzyme 1 (Rce1) is an integral membrane endoprotease localized to the endoplasmic reticulum that mediates the cleavage of the carboxyl-terminal three amino acids from CaaX proteins, whose members play important roles in cell signaling processes. Examples include the Ras family of small GTPases, the γ-subunit of heterotrimeric GTPases, nuclear lamins, and protein kinases and phosphatases. CaaX proteins, especially Ras, have been implicated in cancer, and understanding the post-translational modifications of CaaX proteins would provide insight into their biological function and regulation. Many proteolytic mechanisms have been proposed for Rce1, but sequence alignment, mutational studies, topology, and recent crystallographic data point to a novel mechanism involving a glutamate-activated water and an oxyanion hole. Studies using in vivo and in vitro reporters of Rce1 activity have revealed that the enzyme cleaves only prenylated substrates and the identity of the a2 amino residue in the Ca1a2X sequence is most critical for recognition, preferring Ile, Leu, or Val. Substrate mimetics can be somewhat effective inhibitors of Rce1 in vitro. Small-molecule inhibitor discovery is currently limited by the lack of structural information on a eukaryotic enzyme, but a set of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives has demonstrated an ability to mislocalize all three mammalian Ras isoforms, giving optimism that potent, selective inhibitors might be developed. Much remains to be discovered regarding cleavage specificity, the impact of chemical inhibition, and the potential of Rce1 as a therapeutic target, not only for cancer, but also for other diseases.

Crosstalk between KCNK3-Mediated Ion Current and Adrenergic Signaling Regulates Adipose Thermogenesis and Obesity. Cell 2017; 171:836-848.e13.

Abstract
Adrenergic stimulation promotes lipid mobilization and oxidation in brown and beige adipocytes, where the harnessed energy is dissipated as heat in a process known as adaptive thermogenesis. The signaling cascades and energy-dissipating pathways that facilitate thermogenesis have been extensively described, yet little is known about the counterbalancing negative regulatory mechanisms. Here, we identify a two-pore-domain potassium channel, KCNK3, as a built-in rheostat negatively regulating thermogenesis. Kcnk3 is transcriptionally wired into the thermogenic program by PRDM16, a master regulator of thermogenesis. KCNK3 antagonizes norepinephrine-induced membrane depolarization by promoting potassium efflux in brown adipocytes. This limits calcium influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels and dampens adrenergic signaling, thereby attenuating lipolysis and thermogenic respiration. Adipose-specific Kcnk3 knockout mice display increased energy expenditure and are resistant to hypothermia and obesity. These findings uncover a critical K+-Ca2+-adrenergic signaling axis that acts to dampen thermogenesis, maintain tissue homeostasis, and reveal an electrophysiological regulatory mechanism of adipocyte function.

Abstract
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapy has markedly improved patient prognosis after introduction of imatinib mesylate for clinical use. However, a subset of patients develops resistance to imatinib and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), mainly due to point mutations in the region encoding the kinase domain of the fused BCR-ABL oncogene. To identify potential therapeutic targets in imatinib-resistant CML cells, we derived imatinib-resistant CML-T1 human cell line clone (CML-T1/IR) by prolonged exposure to imatinib in growth media. Mutational analysis revealed that the Y235H mutation in BCR-ABL is probably the main cause of CML-T1/IR resistance to imatinib. To identify alternative therapeutic targets for selective elimination of imatinib-resistant cells, we compared the proteome profiles of CML-T1 and CML-T1/IR cells using 2-DE-MS. We identified eight differentially expressed proteins, with strongly upregulated Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) in the resistant cells, suggesting that this protein may influence cytosolic pH, Ca2+ concentration or signaling pathways such as Wnt in CML-T1/IR cells. We tested several compounds including drugs in clinical use that interfere with the aforementioned processes and tested their relative toxicity to CML-T1 and CML-T1/IR cells. Calcium channel blockers, calcium signaling antagonists and modulators of calcium homeostasis, namely thapsigargin, ionomycin, verapamil, carboxyamidotriazole and immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporine A and tacrolimus (FK-506) were selectively toxic to CML-T1/IR cells. The putative cellular targets of these compounds in CML-T1/IR cells are postulated in this study. We propose that Ca2+ homeostasis can be a potential therapeutic target in CML cells resistant to TKIs. We demonstrate that a proteomic approach may be used to characterize a TKI-resistant population of CML cells enabling future individualized treatment options for patients.

Abstract
We have synthesized and evaluated a series of 1,4-disubstituted-triazole derivatives for inhibition of the rat Na(V)1.6 sodium channel isoform, an isoform thought to play an important role in controlling neuronal firing. Starting from a series of 2,4(1H)-diarylimidazoles previously published, we decided to extend the SAR study by replacing the imidazole with a different heterocyclic scaffold and by varying the aryl substituents on the central aromatic ring. The 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were prepared employing the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC). Many of the new molecules were able to block the rNa(v)1.6 currents at 10 μM by over 20%, displaying IC(50) values ranging in the low micromolar, thus indicating that triazole can efficiently replace the central heterocyclic core. Moreover, the introduction of a long chain at C4 of the central triazole seems beneficial for increased rNa(v)1.6 current block, whereas the length of N1 substituent seems less crucial for inhibition, as long as a phenyl ring is not direcly connected to the triazole. These results provide additional information on the structural features necessary for block of the voltage-gated sodium channels. These new data will be exploited in the preparation of new compounds and could result in potentially useful AEDs.

Abstract
We have previously reported that high-dose nifedipine had a selective antiproliferative effect on colon cancer cell lines deficient in DNA mismatch repair (MMR). We hypothesized that carboxyamidotriazole (CAI), a calcium channel blocker, would also have a selective inhibitory effect on colon cancer cell lines with DNA MMR deficiency. In addition, we speculated that this effect may also be seen in cell lines deficient in DNA MMR derived from other tumor types. Fourteen human cancer cell lines with and without DNA MMR derived from carcinomas of the colon, bladder, ovary and prostate were treated with CAI, vehicle or control drugs (nifedipine and 5-flurouracil). The effect of treatment on growth inhibition, invasion, apoptosis and cell cycle progression was assessed. Selective sensitivity to CAI was observed in all cancer cell lines deficient in MMR. Compared with the MMR-proficient cells, the matched deficient cells were significantly more sensitive to the growth inhibitory effect of CAI and nifedipine, but less sensitive to 5-flurouracil. CAI significantly inhibited the invasive ability of MMR-deficient cancer cells compared to 5-flurouracil. CAI induced more apoptosis but similar level of G(2)/M arrest in MMR (hMLH1- or hMSH6-)-deficient colon cancer cells than MMR-proficient counterparts. CAI selectively inhibits proliferation and invasion in MMR-deficient human cancer cell lines. The antitumor effect is at least partly explained by G2/M cell cycle arrest and induction of apoptosis. These findings may have clinical implications directing clinical trials in selectively targeted patients with DNA MMR tumors.

Abstract
Carboxyamidotriazole (CAI) is a calcium influx inhibitor that is undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of various human cancers following the identification of its antiproliferative and antimetastatic activities. The exact mechanism of its action is not clearly understood, and whether it has other functions besides the established antitumor activity has not been reported either. In the present study, we demonstrate for the first time that CAI possesses anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities using a variety of animal models, including croton oil-induced ear edema, cotton-induced granuloma, rat adjuvant-induced arthritis, acetic acid-induced writhing, and the formalin test. We also show that CAI significantly inhibits local vascular permeability stimulated by vascular endothelial growth factor or histamine and decreases tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta levels at the site of inflammation and in serums, which may contribute to the anti-inflammatory effect. These data suggest that CAI is a promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, and they provide new insight into the biological activity of the drug.

Abstract
PURPOSE Carboxyamidotriazole (CAI) is a novel antineoplastic agent in clinical development with limited oral bioavailability. In vitro, ketoconazole has been demonstrated to inhibit CYP3A4-mediated metabolism of CAI. We performed this phase I trial to determine if ketoconazole-mediated CYP3A4 inhibition would lead to favorable alteration of CAI pharmacokinetics, and to evaluate the safety, toxicity and tolerability of the proposed combination. DESIGN Forty-seven patients were treated using a standard three patients per cohort CAI dose-escalation scheme. In cycle 1, CAI was administered alone on day-6 followed by a single dose of ketoconazole (200 mg) on day 0. CAI and ketoconazole (200 mg/day) were subsequently coadministered on days 1 and 3-28. Plasma samples for pharmacokinetic analysis were obtained following the doses on days-6 and 1. All subsequent cycles were of 28-day duration, and consisted of daily CAI and ketoconazole coadministration. RESULTS Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed on samples from 44 patients. In most patients administration of ketoconazole produced an increase in CAI AUC and Cmax with a decrease in CAI clearance. Seven patients experienced stable disease for up to 12 months. Gastrointestinal and constitutional toxicities were the most common toxicities. CONCLUSIONS Coadministration of CAI with ketoconazole increased CAI exposure in most of the patients without altering the toxicity profile of CAI. The highest CAI dose administered on the trial was 300 mg/day. The clinical utility of such a modulation strategy might be explored in future clinical trials of CAI.

Abstract
Venoms from 14 snakes and four scorpions were screened for inhibitory activities toward store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) in human embryonic kidney-293 cells. An inhibitory activity was found in venom from the African scorpion Pandinus imperator. The active agent of this venom was purified by gel filtration and reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography methods. Sequence information on the purified fraction, by automatic Edman degradation and mass spectrometry analysis, identified the activity as being contained in two tetrapeptides, which we have named tetrapandins. We demonstrate that synthesized tetrapandins have inhibitory activity for SOCE in human embryonic kidney-293 cells while having no effect on either thapsigargin- or carbachol-stimulated release of Ca2+ stores. These toxins should be extremely useful in future studies to determine downstream events regulated by SOCE as well as to determine whether multiple pathways exist for thapsigargin-stimulated Ca2+ entry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously shown that calcium channel antagonists inhibit in vitro meningioma growth. This study examines the effect of calcium channel antagonists on in vivo xenograft meningioma growth. METHODS Meningioma cells taken from human patients were mixed with Matrigel and injected into the subcutaneous space in the flank of nude mice. These animals were treated with calcium channel antagonists in their drinking water. Tumor volumes were measured over time; comparison was made between control and treatment groups. Daily weights, average daily water consumption, and serum calcium channel antagonist levels were determined. Comparison of histology and proliferation index was made between control and treatment groups. RESULTS Diltiazem treatment decreased tumor growth over time compared to control groups. Increased tumor growth inhibition was seen with increasing doses (p > 0.05). Treatment with verapamil had similar effects; however, there are no statistically significant dose dependent decreases in growth with increasing verapamil doses. There were no tumor "cures" or spontaneous regression of tumor in any group including the control groups. Animal daily weight and average daily water consumption was unaffected by increasing calcium channel antagonist doses compared to control groups. Mouse serum drug levels increased with increasing doses of drug in the drinking water of treatment groups (p > 0.05). Histology and proliferative index of treatment groups were similar to control groups. CONCLUSION Calcium channel antagonists decrease but do not completely inhibit the growth of meningiomas in nude mice. Clinical correlations and potential applications are discussed.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit proliferation and angiogenesis in colorectal cancer. We examined a possible involvement of store-operated calcium (SOC) entry in human colon carcinoma cells (HRT-18), which require calcium for proliferation. Acetyl-salicylic-acid (ASA), mefenamic acid (MEF) and sulindac sulfide (SUS) inhibited cell proliferation with the following order of potency: SUS > MEF >> ASA. SUS but not MEF and ASA induced apoptosis following low-dose treatment. Furthermore, SUS and MEF significantly altered the cell cycle distribution. The ability of NSAIDs to inhibit SOC entry was assessed by measuring the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in response to calcium store depletion using the endoplasmic calcium ATPase inhibitor thapsigargin. SUS and MEF, but not ASA significantly inhibited SOC entry. A causal link between SOC entry inhibition and anti-proliferative activity was tested using the inorganic SOC entry inhibitor La3+ and the specific organic inhibitor N-1-n-octyl-3,5-bis-(4-pyridyl)triazole (DPT). Both La3+ and DPT inhibited cell proliferation and SOC entry. Analogous to MEF, the anti-proliferative effect of DPT was mediated by cell cycle arrest and not by induction of apoptosis. These data indicate a role of SOC entry for cell proliferation in cancer cells and suggest a novel anti-proliferative NSAID mechanism in addition to its known influence on lipid metabolism.

Abstract
1. Flufenamic and tolfenamic acids have recently been shown to inhibit receptor-mediated calcium influx in human neutrophils. The present work was designed to study the effects of these two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on human peripheral blood lymphocyte activation. 2. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs; containing 90% lymphocytes) were stimulated by mitogen concanavalin A (Con A) or by a combination of an inhibitor of microsomal Ca(2+)-adenosine triphosphatase thapsigargin (TG) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). The effects of the two fenamates on cell proliferation were compared with respective changes in calcium metabolism. 3. Flufenamic and tolfenamic acids (10-100 microM) inhibited both Con A and TG + PMA-induced [3H]-thymidine incorporation in a dose-dependent manner. At the same concentration range, the two fenamates inhibited the increase in intracellular free calcium concentration induced by Con A or TG + PMA. This effect was due to inhibition of calcium influx whereas calcium release from intracellular stores remained unaltered. 4. The inhibition of divalent cation influx was confirmed by showing that fenamates inhibited TG + PMA-induced Mn2+ influx. 5. The inhibitory effects of fenamates on PBMNC proliferation and Ca2+ influx were qualitatively similar with those of SK&F 96365, an earlier known inhibitor of receptor-mediated calcium entry. Ketoprofen, a chemically different prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor did not show similar suppressive effects on PBMNCs. 6. The data suggest that flufenamic and tolfenamic acids suppress proliferation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes by a mechanism which involves inhibition of Ca2+ influx and is not related to inhibition of prostanoid synthesis.

Abstract
During the last few years, considerable progress has taken place in our knowledge of the molecular and functional properties of the various voltage-independent Ca2+ channels. In addition to the ionotropic receptor-channels (ROCs), that are not discussed in the present review, these channels include the SMOCs, activated via second messengers or other transducing processes directly triggered by receptor activation; and the SOCCs, activated as a consequence of depletion of the rapidly exchanging Ca2+ stores in the cytoplasm. In parallel, a pharmacological approach to the study of these channels has been developed, based primarily on heterogeneous drugs already known for different biological effects, and subsequently recognized as voltage-independent Ca(2+)-channel blockers. From the systematic analysis of the effects of these drugs new information has emerged about SMOCs and SOCCs function. In addition, pharmacological blockade of these channels appears to have beneficial therapeutic effects in pathological conditions such as tumoral cell growth, inflammation and immunity. At the moment the field is rapidly evolving, with major developments expected in the years ahead.

Abstract
The compound flufenamic acid has been previously described as an inhibitor of chloride- and non-selective cation channels. Moreover, this compound showed antiproliferative effects in the mouse fibroblast cell line LM(TK-). In this study, we investigated the effects of this compound on cell proliferation and membrane currents induced by mitogens (such as fetal calf serum, FCS) or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) in LM(TK-) cells. After a brief application of FCS or PDGF (5-15 s), the electrical response of the cells was biphasic: First, a transient potassium conductance was activated, which appeared 8.3 +/- 0.7 s after the onset of stimulation and lasted for 30.1 +/- 2.9 s. The corresponding single channel currents in cell-attached patches had an amplitude of 3-4 pA (at a holding potential of +60 mV). The second effect of serum or PDGF was the occurrence of a cation conductance for monovalent ions (sodium, potassium and cesium) and calcium. In contrast to the potassium current, this conductance activated later (11.8 +/- 1.6 s after onset of fetal calf serum stimulation) and remained activated for minutes. Flufenamic acid inhibited the proliferation of LM(TK-) cells reversibly and in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect can be correlated with the inhibitory effects of flufenamic acid on mitogen-induced membrane currents: The compound inhibited the non-selective cation current with an IC50 of 38 microM, whereas 135 microM were necessary for halfmaximal inhibition of the potassium current; this is very close to the concentration for halfmaximal inhibition of cell proliferation (120 microM). Hence, on the grounds of this comparison the blockade of the non-selective cation current appears to be of only minor importance for the blockade of cell proliferation.

Abstract
Ca2+ plays an important role in the contraction of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle, as well as in a number of important processes, such as secretion and neuronal activity. In this review, I focus on the various mechanisms by which cytosolic Ca2+ concentration is regulated in vascular smooth muscle, in the resting state and during activation. Particular attention is paid to the calcium pumps of the plasmalemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum, to the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate- and ryanodine-sensitive calcium channels of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and to voltage-dependent and voltage-independent calcium channels of the plasmalemma.

Abstract
Carboxyamido-triazole (CAI), an agent that targets calcium-sensitive signal transduction pathways, has both antiproliferative and antimetastatic properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the myelotoxicity of CAI to normal human and murine hematopoietic cells. In vitro toxicity of CAI was determined by inhibition of myeloid [colony-forming unit-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-gm)] and erythroid [burst-forming unit-erythroid (BFU-e)] colony formation in clonal assays. The effects of oral CAI on CD2F1 mouse marrow and splenic cellularity, marrow progenitor content, and peripheral blood cell counts were assessed in relation to plasma CAI levels. In vitro, CAI caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of CFU-gm and BFU-e colonies following continuous drug exposure. Murine CFU-gm and BFU-e were inhibited > 90% by 10 and 15 micrograms/mL CAI, respectively. However, suppression of human CFU-gm and BFU-e did not exceed 65% at the same concentrations. In vivo, CAI reduced the number of CFU-gm and BFU-e per femur after the initial dose and through day 4. Variations in colony inhibition paralleled changes in CAI plasma concentrations. While colony inhibition increased in vitro with escalating drug concentrations, this was not observed in vivo with additional CAI doses. The low toxicity of CAI in vivo combined with the significant difference between toxicity for human and mouse progenitors in vitro suggests a relatively low adverse potential to the bone marrow for this new signal transduction inhibitory agent.

Abstract
The orderly sequence of events that constitutes the cell cycle is carefully regulated. A part of this regulation depends upon the ubiquitous calcium signalling system. Many growth factors utilize the messenger inositol trisphosphate (InsP3) to set up prolonged calcium signals, often organized in an oscillatory pattern. These repetitive calcium spikes require both the entry of external calcium and its release from internal stores. One function of this calcium signal is to activate the immediate early genes responsible for inducing resting cells (G0) to re-enter the cell cycle. It may also promote the initiation of DNA synthesis at the G1/S transition. Finally, calcium contributes to the completion of the cell cycle by stimulating events at mitosis. The role of calcium in cell proliferation is highlighted by the increasing number of anticancer therapies and immunosuppressant drugs directed towards this calcium signalling pathway.

Abstract
Proliferation of mammalian cells both in vivo and in vitro is dependent upon physiological concentrations of extracellular Ca2+. Growth factor stimulation of quiescent cells at the G0/G1 border usually results in a rapid mobilization of Ca2+ from both intra- and extracellular pools. However, Ca2+ influx is also required for later phases of cell cycle transition, especially in the late G1 phase for initiation of DNA synthesis. Available evidence indicates that calmodulin plays the major and essential roles in the Ca(2+)-dependent regulation of cell proliferation. Ca2+ and calmodulin act at multiple points in the cell cycle, including the initiation of the S phase and both initiation and completion of the M phase. Ca2+ and calmodulin stimulate the expression of genes involved in the cell cycle progression, leading to activation of cyclin-dependent kinases p33cdk2 and p34cdc2. Ca2+ and calmodulin are also involved in activation of enzymes participating in nucleotide metabolism and DNA replication, as well as nuclear envelope breakdown and cytokinesis. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and protein phosphatase calcineurin are both involved in the Ca2+ and calmodulin-mediated signalling of growth regulation. As compared to normal cells, growth of transformed cells is independent of extracellular Ca2+ and much less sensitive to calmodulin antagonists, suggesting the existence of derangements in the Ca2+ and calmodulin-mediated growth regulation mechanisms.

Abstract
CAI (NSC 609974; L651582), a new agent that has demonstrated antimetastatic activity in vitro and in vivo, was not very cytotoxic toward EMT-6 mouse mammary carcinoma cells in culture or toward FSaIIC fibrosarcoma cells in vivo. Coexposure of EMT-6 cells to CAI and antitumor alkylating agents under various environmental conditions did not markedly increase the cytotoxicity of cisplatin (CDDP), melphalan, or carmustine (BCNU). However, the combination of CAI and 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide (4-HC) produced much greater than additive killing of EMT-6 cells. CAI also increased the sensitivity of hypoxic EMT-6 cells to X-rays. CAI increased the cytotoxicity of cyclophosphamide toward FSaIIC tumor cells when animals were treated with single doses of both drugs. The effect of CAI on tumor cell killing by cyclophosphamide was greatest at high doses of the antitumor alkylating agent. CAI administration appeared to result in increased serum levels of prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4 in animals bearing the Lewis lung tumor. Administration of CAI on days 4-18 did not alter the growth of the Lewis lung carcinoma but did result in an increase in the tumor-growth delay produced by treatment with CDDP, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, BCNU, and fractionated radiation. Although CAI did not reduce the number of lung metastases present in Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice on day 20, it did appear to reduce the number of large (vascularized) metastases present on that day.

Abstract
The intracellular signalling pathways that mediate the effects of growth factors and oncogenes on cell growth and transformation offer potential targets for the development of chemopreventive agents that prevent the progression of premalignant cells to invasive cancer. Agents acting on signalling targets would be expected to be cytostatic rather than cytotoxic agents. A number of existing chemopreventive agents exhibit, among their properties, inhibition of intracellular signalling enzymes. It is possible that this activity accounts, at least in part, for their chemopreventive properties.

Abstract
Cation channels play a major role in fast and sustained cellular responses to hormones and neurotransmitters. They contribute to depolarization of the membrane and--in most cases--to an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Nonselective cation channels presumably form a large family of diverse channels which are modulated by various extracellular and intracellular signals. Structure and regulation of ligand-operated and cyclic nucleotide-activated nonselective cation channels found in synapses and sensory receptor cells, respectively, are well documented; none of the structures of other cation channels are known. Except for ligand-operated and stretch-activated channels, G-proteins form the link between the involved receptors and signalling cascades stimulating nonselective cation channels. Observed in numerous cellular systems is hormonal activation of cation channels by hormones or neurotransmitters interacting with heptahelical receptors inducing a phosphoinositide breakdown (PI response); several pathways stimulated within the PI response may generate signals involved in cation channel activation. Pharmacological modifications of nonselective cation channels by inorganic and organic blockers are so far extremely limited; various blockers have been described but unfortunately lack high specificity for these channels.

Abstract
The pharmacology of the L-type Ca2+ channel has been the subject of considerable basic and clinical investigation over the past two decades primarily because of the clinical activities of nifedipine, verapamil and diltiazem. However, it is quite clear that this Ca2+ channel is, in common with other pharmacologic receptors, a multiple drug receptor. There are probably as many as six or more discrete drug binding sites associated with this Ca2+ channel. Continued investigation of these sites may yield both new therapeutic agents, structural clues to ligands active at other classes of Ca2+ channel and structures active at other classes of ion channel.
