Global brain ischemia-reperfusion during propofol anesthesia provokes persistent cerebral pial constriction. Constriction is likely mediated by Rho-kinase. Cerebral vasoconstriction possibly exacerbates ischemic brain injury. Because Y-27632 is a potent Rho-kinase inhibitor, it should be necessary to evaluate its effects on cerebral pial vessels during ischemia—reperfusion period.

Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase α-isoform (PI3K-C2α) is involved in regulating KCl-induced vascular smooth muscle contraction. The current study was to investigate the effects of sevoflurane (SEVO) and isoflurane (ISO) on KCl-elicited PI3KC2α mediated vasoconstriction in rat aortic smooth muscle.

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a complication of surgical procedure associated with high mortality. The protective effect of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on CIRI has been explored in previous works, yet the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Our study explored the protective effect of DEX and its regulatory mechanism on CIRI.

The mechanism of volatile anesthetics on vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction in the setting of diabetes mellitus (DM) remains unclear. The current study was designed to determine the efects of sevofurane (SEVO) and isofurane (ISO) on phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and Rho kinase (ROCK) mediated KCl-induced vasoconstriction in aged type 2 diabetic rats.

In this study, using the connectivity map program, it was determined that metformin and tolbutamide used in the treatment of type II diabetes had the potential to inhibit Rho kinase. In the experimental results to confirm this data, it has been shown that metformin and tolbutamide decrease the cell area within 24 h and metformin inhibits the activation of Rho kinase in MCF-7 cells. These results indicate that metformin, which is used in the treatment of type II diabetes, acts as a ROCK inhibitor.

Our previous study described the crucial role of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing-kinases (ROCK) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the potential significance of long noncoding RNA downstream of ROCK is largely unknown. Here, a comprehensive comparative bioinformatics analysis of a microarray of an MHCC97H cell line overexpressing ROCK1 or ROCK2 was performed.

Clinical significance of mTOR, ZEB1, ROCK1 expression in lung tissues of pulmonary fibrosis patients
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal lung disease of unknown causes. Three proteins (mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR; zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1, ZEB1; Rho-associated, coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1, ROCK1) may be related to pulmonary fibrosis.

Various pathways impinge on the actin-myosin pathway to facilitate cell migration and invasion including members of the Rho family of small GTPases and MAPK. However, the signaling components that are considered important for these processes vary substantially within the literature with certain pathways being favored.

Activation of Rho, one of the small GTPases, and its major downstream target Rho-kinase (ROCK) promotes the development and metastasis of cancer. We previously showed that elevation of Rho and ROCK expression was associated with tumor invasion, metastasis, and an unfavorable prognosis in patients with urothelial cancer of the bladder or upper urinary tract.

P21-activated protein kinase 1 (PAK1), a main downstream effector of small Rho GTPases, is overexpressed in many malignancies. PAK1 overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in some tumor types, including breast cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer.

Two isoforms of Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase (ROCK), ROCKI and ROCKII, play an important role in many cellular processes. Despite the accumulating evidence showing that ROCK could be a potential cancer therapeutic target, the relevant tumor types to ROCK activation are not well clarified.

The serine/threonine protein kinases ROCK1 and 2 are key RhoA-mediated regulators of cell shape and cytoskeletal dynamics. These proteins perform multiple functions in vascular endothelial cell physiology and are attractive targets for cancer therapy based on their roles as oncogenes and metastatic promoters.

Once platelets are activated, the first event tooccur is a rapid change in shape, associated with Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and withRhokinase activation. The purpose of this studywas to investigate which is the biochemical pathway that leads to platelet shape change in response to convulxin, a selective GpVI activator, and to verify whether MLC phosphoryla-tion is essential for this process.

The Rho-like GTPase Rac regulates distinct actin cytoskeleton changes required for adhesion, migration and invasion of cells. Tiam1 specifically activates Rac, and Rac has been shown to affect several signaling pathways in a partly cell-type-specific manner. Recently, we demonstrated that Rac activation inhibits Matrigel invasion of human carcinoma cells by tran-scriptional upregulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1.

Aberrant regulation of protein kinases impairs normal cellular functioning and may lead to disease. The protein kinase involved in the regulation of the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton, Rho-kinase (ROCK), phosphory-lates various substrates (e.g. myosin light chain, myosin phosphatase), caus-ing the formation of actin fibers and tension inside cells.

The conserved Rho-type GTPase Cdc42p is a key regulator of signal trans-duction and polarity in eukaryotic cells. In the yeastSaccharomyces cerevi-siae, Cdc42p promotes polarized growth through the p21-activated kinases Ste20p and Cla4p. Previously, we demonstrated that Ste20p forms a com-plex with Erg4p, Cbr1p and Ncp1p, which all catalyze important steps in sterol biosynthesis.
