Characterization of the TRPV6 calcium channel-specific phenotype by RNA-seq in castration-resistant human prostate cancer cells. (PubMed, Front Genet)
RNA-seq analysis demonstrated that the calcium channel TRPV6, being a crucial player of calcium signaling, significantly impacts the expression of genes involved in cancer progression, such as cell cycle regulation, chemotaxis, migration, invasion, apoptosis, ferroptosis as well as drug resistance, and extracellular matrix (ECM) re-organization. Our data suggest that the trpv6 gene is involved in and regulates multiple pathways related to tumor progression and drug resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer cells.
