Verapamil Inhibits L-type Calcium Channel Mediated Apoptosis in Human Colon Cancer Cells.
PURPOSE: Treatment with calcium channel blockers have been associated with increased colon cancer mortality in epidemiologic studies. We examined the potential expression and function of calcium channels in two human colon cancer cell lines. METHODS: Both primary (collected at operation) and commercially-available human colon cancer cell lines were used. The colon cancer cells were incubated with
