ROCK and Nuclear Factor-κB–dependent Activation of Cyclooxygenase-2 by Rho GTPases: Effects on Tumor Growth and Therapeutic Consequences

Abstract: Rho GTPases are overexpressed in a variety of human tumors contributing to both tumor proliferation and metastasis. Recently, several studies demonstrate an essential role of transcriptional regulation in Rho GTPases-induced oncogenesis. Herein, we demonstrate that RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 promote the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) at the transcriptional level by a mechanism that is dependent on the transcription factor nuclear factor-B (NF-B), but not Stat3, a transcription factor required for RhoA-induc… Show more

“…4F) abrogated LGR5-induced reporter activity. It has been suggested that NF-κB is a link between inflammation and tumor development induced by the Rho signaling pathway (Benitah et al, 2003;Karin et al, 2002;Lin and Karin, 2003;Segain et al, 2003). In addition, NF-κB plays a role in the regulation of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation (Schugar et al, 2008).…”

“…This 4HT-ROCK er -mediated NF-κβ expression is consistent with activation of NF-κβ by Rho-induced, nuclear translocation of p65/RelA; independent of Ras GTPases. 9,10 Whether this is exerting a protective or oncogenic role in this context is unclear, 25 but elevated NF-κβ inflammatory roles would be consistent with wound promotion, currently associated with fos/Jun/AP1 activation; 45 hence whether fos/AP1 promotes via deregulation of NF-κβ is under investigation.…”

“…Previous studies have shown, that the MAPK pathway is involved in RhoC GTPase induced motility, invasion and angiogenesis in IBC (Van Golen et al, 2002). Other studies have shown that the stimulatory effect of the RhoC GTPaseactivity on tumour growth depends on NF-kB activity (Benitah et al, 2003). One of the first molecular alterations characterised in IBC was the overexpression of RhoC (Van Golen et al, 1999).…”
