pubmed:abstractText
Pretreatment of human colon cancer LoVo-H cells and human breast cancer ZR-75 1A cells with low doses of verapamil, a Ca2+ channel blocker, for 48 h has a slight growth stimulatory effect and substantially increases cell sensitivity to lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) mediated cytotoxicity in the standard 51Cr release assay. The role of intracellular Ca2+ levels in determining verapamil effect is demonstrated by cytochemical evidence of intracellular Ca2+ lowering in verapamil-treated cells and by the reversal by the Ca2+ ionophore A-23187 of verapamil-induced sensitivity to LAK-mediated cytotoxicity.
