In contrast to KCa3.1 inhibition20, Kv1.3 blockade was not able to change the phenotype of GAMs, indicating that the inhibition of this channel operates as a functional modification of GAMs (that became less motile, Fig. 4c) without interfering with their expression level of inflammatory genes, at least in the context of gliomas. The gene discussed is KCNA3; the disease is glioma.
