Previously, we showed that migration of transformed renal epithelial cells (MDCK-F cells) is
a K+ channel-dependent process [J Clin Invest 1994; 93: 1631]. In order to determine …

Migration plays an important role in the formation of tumor metastases. Nonetheless, little is
known about electrophysiological phenomena accompanying or underlying migration …

Epithelial cells lose their usual polarization during carcinogenesis. Although most malignant
tumours are of epithelial origin little is known about ion channels in carcinoma cells …

Migration of transformed renal epithelial (MDCK-F) cells depends on the polarized activity of
a Ca 2+-sensitive K+ channel (IK channel; Pflügers Arch 432: R87–R93, 1996). This study …

Cell migration is crucial for wound healing, immune defense, or formation of tumor
metastases. In addition to the cytoskeleton, Ca2+ sensitive K+ channels (IK1) are also part of …

Madin Darby canine kidney cells transformed by alkaline stress (MDCK-F cells)
constitutively migrate at a rate of about 1 μm· min–1. Migration depends on the intermittent …

A Role for K+ Channels in Cell Proliferation Page 1 Differential activation of adenosine receptors
decreases N-type but potentiates Ptype Ca2+ current in hippocampal CA3 neurons. Neuron …

In this article we review aspects of plasticity of renal epithelial cells. We focus on one
particular feature, namely on cell migration. For normal renal and other epithelial cells …

K+ channels, membrane voltage, and intracellular free Ca 2+ are involved in regulating
proliferation in a human melanoma cell line (SK MEL 28). Using patch-clamp techniques, we …

Cell migration is mediated by ion channels and transporters, and plays crucial roles in a
variety of physiological and pathological processes. Previously, our studies have shown that …
