SK3 channels are potassium channels found to promote tumour aggressiveness. We have previously demonstrated that SK3 is regulated by synthetic ether-lipids, but the role of endogenous ether lipids is unknown. Here, we have studied the role of endogenous alkyl- and alkenyl-ether-lipids on SK3 channels and on the biology of cancer cells. Experiments revealed that the suppression of AGPS or PEDS1, which are key enzymes for alkyl- and alkenyl-ether-lipid synthesis, respectively, decreased SK3 expression by increasing miR-499 and miR-208 expression, leading to a decrease in SK3-dependent calcium entry, cell migration, and MMP9-dependent cell adhesion and invasion...
