REPOSITIONING OF ANTIARRHYTHMICS FOR PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT: A NOVEL STRATEGY TO REPROGRAM CANCER-ASSOCIATED FIBROBLASTS TOWARDS A TUMOR-SUPPRESSIVE PHENOTYPE

Repositioning of antiarrhythmics for prostate cancer treatment: a novel strategy to reprogram cancer-associated fibroblasts towards a tumor-suppressive phenotype

Abstract Background Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a significant role in fueling prostate cancer (PCa) progression by interacting with tumor cells.A previous gene expression analysis revealed that CAFs up-regulate genes coding for voltage-gated cation channels, as compared to normal prostate fibroblasts (NPFs).In this study, we explored
