Pannexin | Cancer type | Description | Reference |
---|---|---|---|
Panx1 | Breast | Gain of function mutation in PANX1 increases metastasis | [162] |
Panx1 | Melanoma | Upregulated expression. Knockdown induces re-differentiation | |
Panx1 | Glioma | Tumour suppressor when overexpressed in Panx1-deficient rat C6 glioma cells, but endogenously expressed in human glioma cell lines. Accelerates glioma tumor aggregate formation | |

Panx1 | Colon | Interaction with Liver X receptor β for pyroptotic cell death | [178] |
Panx1 | Leukemia Osteosarcoma | Upregulated in leukemic cells compare to T-cells. Activated by chemotherapy drugs and immunogenic therapy to release ATP | |
Panx1 | Prostate | Bystander cell killing effect of TMPK/AZT | [185] |
Panx1 | Gall bladder adenocarcinoma | Downregulated expression in tumours | [3] |
Panx2 | Glioma | Tumour suppressor overexpressed in C6 glioma cells. Downregulated in human tumours and positive correlation with patient survival | |
Panx2 | Hepatocellular carcinoma | Potential tumour suppressor. Methylated in cancer samples | [184] |
Panx2 | Neuroblastoma | Knockdown in Neuro2a cells increases differentiation | [21] |
Panx1, Panx3 | Basal and squamous skin cell carcinoma | Downregulated in BCC and SCC tumours compared to normal skin | [152] |
