KCNC4 and chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive: Importantly, hERG1 as well as Kv3.4 and IK seem to be critically required not only for CaMKIIs activation but also for cell cycle arrest in irradiated CML [(Palme et al., 2013) and present study), T cell leukemia (Klumpp et al., 2016), and glioblastoma cells (Stegen et al., 2015)], since pharmaceutical or molecular biological targeting of these channels overrides cell cycle arrest resulting in premature (i.e., with unfixed DNA double strand breaks) entry in mitosis and cell death.
