摘要: srGAP3, a member of the Slit-Robo sub-family Rho GTPase-activating proteins (Rho GAPs), controls actin and microtubule dynamics through negative regulation Rac. Here, we describe potential role for srGAP3 as tumor suppressor in mammary epithelial cells. We show that RNAi-mediated depletion promotes Rac dependent, anchorage-independent growth partially transformed human cells (HMECs). Furthermore, expression is absent, or significantly reduced 7/10 breast cancer cell lines compared with normal HMECs. Re-expression subset these inhibits both invasion GAP-dependent manner, this accompanied by an increase phosphorylation ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) family myosin light chain 2 (MLC2). Inhibition regulated kinase, ROCK, reduces ERM MLC2 restores invasion. conclude has suppressor-like activity HMECs, likely its regulator Rac1.
