In contrast, a recent report showed that minoxidil treatment is effective in reducing tumor growth in an animal model of ovarian cancer, and following a series of bioinformatics analyses, the authors demonstrated that among the four genes encoding for the KATP channel subunits, the ABCC9/Sur2 subunit is downregulated in ovarian cancer and the upregulation of this gene is a positive prognostic factor in woman in this cancer type (Fukushiro-Lopes et al., 2020). Here, ABCC9 is linked to cancer.
