Naltriben promotes tumor growth by activating the TRPM7-mediated development of the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype by Viviane Nascimento Da Conceicao, Yuyang Sun, Manigandan Venkatesan, Jorge De La Chapa Chapa, Karthik Ramachandran, Rahul S. Jasrotia, Victor Drel, Xiufang Chai, Bibhuti B. Mishra, Muniswamy Madesh, Brij B. Singh

“…Naïve macrophages displayed a previously unidentified Mg2+ dependent current, and TRPM7-like activity, which modulates its survival. Significantly, in M1 macrophages, Mg2+ entry is facilitated by a novel Mg²-dependent current that relies on extracellular Mg2+, which was crucial for activating iNOS/NFκB pathways and cellular bioenergetics, which drives pro-inflammatory cytokines. …”
