verapamil / ER Stress Cancer Research Results

Vem, verapamil: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Verapamil belongs to the phenylalkylamine class of compounds and is a fully synthetic molecule originally developed for its potent calcium channel–blocking properties.

Pathways:
-P-glycoprotein Inhibition (MDR1). -P-gp is overexpressed in many cancer cells
-Inhibition of P-gp by verapamil can enhance the intracellular concentration of chemotherapeutic agents, potentially restoring drug sensitivity.
-As a calcium channel blocker, verapamil inhibits L-type calcium channels.
ER Stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling pathway: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
Protein expression of ATF, GRP78, and GADD153 which is a hall marker of ER stress.
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling pathway plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to various stressors, including those encountered in cancer. When cells experience stress, such as the accumulation of misfolded proteins, they activate a series of signaling pathways collectively known as the unfolded protein response (UPR). The UPR aims to restore normal function by enhancing the protein-folding capacity of the ER, degrading misfolded proteins, and, if the stress is unresolved, triggering apoptosis.
The activation of ER stress pathways can contribute to resistance against chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Cancer cells may utilize the UPR to survive treatment-induced stress, making it challenging to achieve effective therapeutic outcomes.

-ER stress-associated proteins include: phosphorylation of PERK, eIF2α, ATF4, CHOP and cleaved-caspase 12
