Ion channels are proteins that regulate the flow of ions across cell membranes, playing a vital role in cervical cancer development and progression. These channels serve as both potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets, offering new opportunities for cancer treatment. Moreover, ion channels are crucial molecular indicators and possible therapeutic targets due to their role in the development of cervical cancer. Our review focuses on the various types of ion channels which are associated with cervical cancer (CCa), including sodium, calcium, and potassium channels. In our review, we clarify their diagnostic and prognostic value, as well as their relationship to the prognosis and stage of the disease. We also examine how ion channels contribute to the metastasis of cervical cancer, specifically in relation to their influence on cell motility, invasion, and interaction with the tumor microenvironment. By examining preclinical and clinical research involving ion channel blockers and modulators, we also highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting ion channels. We have demonstrated the available assays and imaging methods based on ion channel activity as examples of emerging diagnostic breakthroughs that show promise for enhancing the early detection of cervical cancer. Additionally, the possibility that ion channel modulator-based combination therapy could improve the efficacy of traditional treatments is investigated. To demonstrate the potential of ion channels in cervical cancer diagnosis and treatment, our review highlights the current challenges and the promising role in cervical cancer diagnostics and therapy.
离子通道是调控离子跨细胞膜流动的蛋白质，在宫颈癌的发生发展中起着至关重要的作用。这些通道既可作为潜在的诊断标志物，也可作为治疗靶点，为癌症治疗提供了新的机遇。由于其在宫颈癌发展中的关键作用，离子通道已成为重要的分子指标和潜在的治疗靶点。本综述聚焦于与宫颈癌相关的多种离子通道类型，包括钠通道、钙通道和钾通道。我们系统阐述了这些通道的诊断与预后价值，及其与疾病预后和分期的关联。同时，我们深入探讨了离子通道如何通过影响细胞运动、侵袭能力以及与肿瘤微环境的相互作用，进而促进宫颈癌转移的机制。通过分析涉及离子通道阻滞剂和调节剂的临床前及临床研究，我们特别强调了靶向离子通道的治疗潜力。我们展示了基于离子通道活性的检测方法和成像技术，这些新兴诊断突破有望提升宫颈癌的早期检测水平。此外，本文还探讨了基于离子通道调节剂的联合疗法提高传统治疗疗效的可能性。为阐明离子通道在宫颈癌诊疗中的应用前景，本综述系统总结了当前面临的挑战，并展望了其在宫颈癌诊断与治疗领域的广阔前景。
