摘要
SK&F 96365, a reported receptor-operated Ca2+ channel blocker, inhibited the growth of U-373 MG human astrocytoma and SK-N-MC human neuroblastoma cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. Carbachol and serum which act as growth factors for these cells induced a rapid, transient increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration without a sustained increase. SK&F 96365 also exerted a significant inhibition of carbachol or serum-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. These results suggest that SK&F 96365 is a potent inhibitor of brain tumor cell growth and that its effect may be mediated by the inhibition of agonist-induced intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.
