“…Specifically, ligand activation of β adrenergic receptors potently amplifies cellular proliferation in lung [7], gastric [50], hepatocellular [51], pancreatic [52], colorectal [53], breast [54,55], ovarian [56,57], and prostatic [49] carcinoma models in vitro. Paradoxically, pharmacological antagonism of β adrenergic receptors also potently attenuates cellular proliferation in hemangioblastoma [58] and hepatic [55], pancreatic [59], gastric [50], colorectal [46], breast [54,55], ovarian, and prostatic [60] carcinoma models in vitro. β antagonists reduce cellular proliferation and migration in neuroblastoma cell lines [8], enhance therapeutic concentrations of co-administered medications [8], and reduce expression of P-glycoprotein inhibitors [61].…”
