According to recent research published in the journal Gastroenterology, "Deoxycholate (DC) has proapoptotic and tumorigenic effects in different cell types of the gastrointestinal tract. Exposure of BHK-21 (stromal) cells to DC induces Ca2+ entry at the plasma membrane, which affects intracellular Ca2+ signaling."
"We assessed whether DC-induced increases in [Ca2+] can impinge on plasma membrane properties (eg, ionic conductances) involved in cell apoptosis. Single- and double-barreled microelectrodes were used to measure membrane potential (V-m) and extracellular [K+] in BHK-21 fibroblasts and Caco-2 colon carcinoma cells. Apoptosis was assessed by Hoechst ...
