| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fifteen cases of colon cancers with lymph node metastases were immunohistochemically examined. Metastatic lesions in lymph nodes showed lower expression on RhoGDI2 compared with primary lesions. Stable overexpression of RhoGDI2 protein in HCT116 suppressed proliferation, invasion and anchorage-independent growth. Overexpression of RhoGDI2 induced the inhibition of Rac1 activity, phosphorylation of Pak1 and Akt, and decrease of β-catenin protein. Microarray analysis showed that overexpression of RhoGDI2 induced upregulation of 517 genes and downregulation of 135 genes by >2-fold, respectively. In these genes, expression of S100A14 displayed a > 8-fold decrease and the decrease was verified by RT-PCR and immunoblot.
