Targeting Rac and Cdc42 GEFs in Metastatic Cancer

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
The Rho family GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 have emerged as key players in cancer metastasis, due to their essential roles in regulating cell division and actin cytoskeletal rearrangements; and thus, cell growth, migration/invasion, polarity, and adhesion.

StarD13 negatively regulates invadopodia formation and invasion in high-grade serous (HGS) ovarian adenocarcinoma cells by inhibiting Cdc42

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2022
Metastasis remains the main challenge to overcome for treating ovarian cancers. In this study, we investigate the potential role of the Cdc42 GAP StarD13 in the modulation of cell motility, invasion in ovarian cancer cells.

Okanin Suppresses the Growth of Colorectal Cancer Cells by Targeting at Peroxiredoxin 5

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Okanin suppresses colorectal cancer growth by directly targeting PRDX5. This natural compound selectively binds peroxiredoxin 5 (PRDX5), inhibiting its activity and inducing WSB1‐mediated degradation. PRDX5 loss elevates ROS, suppresses GPX4 via SIAH2, and further triggers cell death (apoptosis and ferroptosis).

Discovery of small molecule inhibitors that effectively disrupt IQGAP1-Cdc42 interaction in breast cancer cells

Scientific Reports, 2022
The small GTPase Cdc42 is an integral component of the cytoskeleton, and its dysregulation leads to pathophysiological conditions, such as cancer. Binding of Cdc42 to the scaffold protein IQGAP1 stabilizes Cdc42 in its active form.

Lnc‐HZ05 Suppresses Trophoblast Cell Migrasome Formation by Disrupting TGFβ2 Pathway in Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TGFβ2 signaling‐mediated migration/invasion and migrasome formation are suppressed in recurrent miscarriage (RM) versus healthy control villous tissues and are negatively associated with unexplained RM. In mechanism, TGFβ2 promotes trophoblast cell migration/invasion and migrasome formation, all of which are suppressed by lnc‐HZ05. In details, lnc‐HZ05

Negative regulation of CDC42 expression and cell cycle progression by miR-29a in breast cancer

Open Medicine, 2016
The inhibitory role of microRNA-29a (miR-29a) has been assessed in breast cancer cells. Herein, we analyze the underlying mechanisms of its role in cell cycle progression in breast cancer cells.

Deletion of Cdc42 in embryonic cardiomyocytes results in right ventricle hypoplasia

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2017
Background Cdc42 is a member of the Rho GTPase family and functions as a molecular switch in regulating cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity establishment. Inactivating Cdc42 in cardiomyocytes resulted in embryonic lethality with heart developmental

Relation of CDC42, Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells with cognitive function decline in Alzheimer's disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2022
Objective Cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) regulates neurite outgrowth, neurotransmitter, and T help (Th) cell‐mediated neuroinflammation, while its clinical implication in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not clear.

Integrating Single‐Cell Transcriptome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization and Differentially Expressed Gene Analyses to Prioritize Dynamic Immune‐Related Drug Targets for Cancers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by evidence triangulation, a new sensitivity method called MR‐DEG is developed, which uses the differentially expressed gene (DEG) results as additional evidence to minimize pleiotropic effects and strengthen Mendelian randomization (MR) causal estimates. Using dynamic single‐cell expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) as an example, it is
