Calcitriol inhibits KCNH1. 7 / 7

"On the other hand, even if calcitriol consistently down-regulated Eag-1 in all cell lines tested, and the effect of both drugs combined upon inhibition of cell proliferation and Ki-67 expression was synergistic, the significant downregulation of Eag1 mRNA observed with the combination of astemizole plus calcitriol in IDC-1 was not detected in SUM-229PE cells."

"In addition, calcitriol significantly inhibited tumoral EAG1 mRNA and protein expression, an effect that was further increased by the co-administration with astemizole, showing for the first time the in vivo inhibition of this oncogenic potassium channel by these drugs in breast tumors."

"Therefore, the rationale of the combined therapy proposed herein is based on Eag1 gene expression inhibition by calcitriol, together with the functional blockade of K + currents through this particular channel by astemizole, in order to potentiate the antineoplastic effects of both compounds."
