β‐Arrestin1 regulates the morphology and dynamics of microglia in zebrafish in vivo

TL;DR: This study indicated that microglial dynamics in the resting state can be regulated cell‐autonomously by β‐arrestin1 signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microarray profiling of HepG2 cells ectopically expressing NDRG2

TL;DR: This research provides the molecular basis for understanding the role of NDRG2 in tumor cells and raises interesting questions about its mechanisms and potential use in cancer therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endocytosis, signaling and cancer, much more than meets the eye

TL;DR: As the complexity of the physiological processes that are inextricably linked to endocytosis and membrane traffic, the approaches that are being used to define molecular and biological details of all these ‘‘mores’’ constitute the leitmotif that unites the contributions included in this thematic issue of Molecular Oncology.

The GRKs Reactome: Role in Cell Biology and Pathology.

TL;DR: The role of G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) in various physiological and pathophysiological processes, including cardiovascular biology, inflammation and immunity, neurodegeneration, thrombosis, and hemostasis, is discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statins Perturb Gβγ Signaling and Cell Behavior in a Gγ Subtype Dependent Manner

TL;DR: Clinically used statins not only significantly disrupt PM localization of Gβγ but also perturb GPCR-G protein signaling and associated cell behaviors, and the results demonstrate that the efficiency of prenylation inhibition by statins is Gγ subtype-dependent and is more effective toward farnesylated Gγ types.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPases in cell biology.

TL;DR: Rho GTPases are molecular switches that control a wide variety of signal transduction pathways in all eukaryotic cells and their ability to influence cell polarity, microtubule dynamics, membrane transport pathways and transcription factor activity is probably just as significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.
