T-Type voltage gated calcium channels: a target in breast cancer?

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The purpose of this review article is to discuss the potential of T-type voltage gated calcium channels (VGCCs) as drug targets in breast cancer. Breast cancer, attributable to the different molecular subtypes, has a crucial need for therapeutic strategies to counter the mortality rate. VGCCs play an important role in regulating cytosolic free calcium levels which regulate cellular processes like tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In the last decade, T-type VGCCs have been investigated in breast cancer proliferation. Calcium channel blockers, in general, have shown an anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effects. T-type VGCC antagonists have shown growth inhibition owing to the inhibition of CaV3.2 isoform. CaV3.1 isoform has been indicated as a tumour-suppressor gene candidate and is reported to support anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity in breast cancer. The distribution of T-type VGCC isoforms in different breast cancer molecular subtypes is diverse and needs to be further investigated. The role of T-type VGCCs in breast cancer migration, metastasis and more importantly in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is yet to be elucidated. In addition, interlaced therapy, using a combination of chemotherapy drugs and T-type VGCC blockers, presents a promising therapeutic approach for breast cancer but more validation and clinical trials are needed. Also, for investigating the potential of T-type VGCC blocker therapy, there is a need for isoform-specific agonists/antagonists to define and discover roles of T-type VGCC specific isoforms. CONCLUSION:Our article provides a review of the role of T-type VGCCs in breast cancer and also discusses future of the research in this area so that it can be ascertained whether there is any potential of T-type VGCCs as drug targets in breast cancer.
