Related Articles Calcium signaling and T-type Calcium channels in cancer cell cycling. World J Gastroenterol. 2008 Aug 28;14(32):4984-91 Authors: Taylor JT, Zeng XB, Pottle JE, Lee K, Wang AR, Yi SG, Scruggs JA, Sikka SS, Li M Regulation of intracellular Calcium is an important signaling mechanism for cell proliferation in both normal and cancerous cells. In normal epithelial cells, free Calcium concentration is essential for cells to enter and accomplish the S phase and the M phase of the cell cycle. In contrast, cancerous cells can pass these phases of the cell cycle with much lower cytoplasmic free Calcium concentrations, indicating an alternative mechanism has developed for fulfilling the intracellular Calcium requirement for an increased rate of DNA synthesis and mitosis of fast replicating cancerous cells. The detailed mechanism underlying the altered Calcium loading pathway remains unclear; however, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests the T-type Ca(2+) channel is abnormally expressed in cancerous cells and that blockade of these channels may reduce cell proliferation in addition to inducing apoptosis. Recent studies also show that the expression of T-type Ca(2+) channels in breast cancer cells is proliferation state dependent, i.e. the channels are expressed at higher levels during the fast-replication period, and once the cells are in a non-proliferation state, expression of this channel is minimal. Therefore, sele ...

Biomaterials. 2008 Aug 29; Authors: Ramaswamy Y, Wu C, Van Hummel A, Combes V, Grau G, Zreiqat H In this study we have developed Ca(3)ZrSi(2)O(9) (Baghdadite) ceramics by incorporating Zirconium in Ca-Si system and determined their biological properties. Ca(3)ZrSi(2)O(9) ceramics possess apatite-formation ability in simulated body fluid, indicating their potential bioactivity. The response of human osteoblast like cells (HOB), osteoclast and endothelial cells when cultured on Ca(3)ZrSi(2)O(9) ceramics was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that this material supports HOB cell attachment with organized cytoskeleton structure. Compared to CaSiO(3), Ca(3)ZrSi(2)O(9) ceramics induced increased HOB proliferation and differentiation as shown by increased methyltetrazidium salt (MTS), alkaline phosphatase activity, and mRNA expression levels of bone-related genes (Collagen type I, alkaline phosphatase, Bone Sialoprotein, receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand and osteoprotegerin). Ca(3)ZrSi(2)O(9) ceramics supported the fusion of monocytes to form functional osteoclasts with their characteristic features of f-actin ring structures and the expression of alpha(v)beta(3) integrin consistent with functional activity. Osteoclasts cultured on Ca(3)ZrSi(2)O(9) expre ...
