It has been shown that okadaic acid (OA) diminishes insulin secretion of rat pancreatic islets in response to glucose, glyceraldehyde and KCl. Glucose, glyceraldehyde and KCl cause release of insulin by depolarization and subsequent opening of L-type calcium channels. Calcium entry into cells is tho
In this study we show that multidrug-resistant (MDR) human KB-VI cells are highly resistant to the cytotoxicity of okadaic acid and calyculin A, 2 toxins from marine sponges that are potent inhibitors of type-I and type-2A protein phosphatases (PPl and PP2A). Cytotoxicity and colony-forming assays i
