1 16314921 While PARVA inhibits the activities of Rac1 and testicular kinase 1 and cell spreading, PARVB binds alphaPIX and alpha-actinin, and can promote cell spreading.
2 18084301 Mechanistically, uPAR is required to activate alphavbeta3 integrin in podocytes, promoting cell motility and activation of the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac1.
3 18773185 The free radical scavenger DMTU eliminated Ang II-induced cell migration, ERM protein phosphorylation and cortical F-actin remodeling, indicating that ROS mediates the influence of Rac-1 on podocyte AT1R signaling.
4 18773185 Signaling inhibitor assay of Ang II-treated podocytes reveals that Rac-1, RhoA, and F-actin reorganization were involved in expressional regulation of alpha actinin-4 in AT1R signaling.
5 20404345 We found that CD2AP specifically interacts with the C-terminal domain of Rac1 but not with that of other Rho family members.
6 20404345 CD2AP co-localizes with Rac1 to membrane ruffles, and small interfering RNA-based experiments showed that CD2AP links Rac1 to CAPZ and cortactin.
7 20404345 Finally, expression of constitutive active Rac1 recruits CD2AP to cell-cell contacts in epithelial cells, where we found CD2AP to participate in the control of the epithelial barrier function.
8 20978238 We show that TRPC5 is in a molecular complex with Rac1, whereas TRPC6 is in a molecular complex with RhoA.
9 20978238 TRPC5-mediated Ca(2+) influx induces Rac1 activation, thereby promoting cell migration, whereas TRPC6-mediated Ca(2+) influx increases RhoA activity, thereby inhibiting cell migration.
10 21734098 Analysis of RhoA family GTPase activity demonstrated that treatment with AGE-BSA or NRP1 depletion inhibited as well the activation of the Rac-1 and Cdc42 but did not affect RhoA activity.
11 21911940 Thus, Arhgap24 contributes to the careful balancing of RhoA and Rac1 signaling in podocytes, the disruption of which may lead to kidney disease.
