Research progress of D4-GDI in the pathogenesis of lung cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

As one of the main members of the Rho GDI dissociation inhibitory factors,D4-GDI inhibits the dissociation of Rho protein and GDP,which is also involved in a wide range of celluar functions,such as cell contraction,adhesion,migration,proliferation and apoptosis.Recently,accumulating evidence has been suggested that D4-GDI is involved in the pathogenesis of several pulmonary diseases,such as lung cancer.Intervention of D4-GDI expression may improve the pathological changes and prognosis of these diseases.
