Pak1-ATF2 signaling axis induces miR-132 to inhibit hematogenous metastasis

ABSTRACT: Pak1 as a serine/threonine kinase, has been implicated in cytoskeletal remodelling, cell motility, apoptosis and transformation. Pak1 plays important roles in multiple signal pathways. Pak1 protects cells from apoptosis through at least three different pathways including forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and DLC1. Pak1 also regulates activity of Raf and Aurora kinases to affect cellular proliferation. Overexpression of Pak1 is involved in the regulation of actin assembly and disassembly through phosphorylations of LIM Kinase and cytoskeletal associated proteins such as Filamin A, Paxillin, Caldesmon, Cortactin and Arp2/3. Pak1 also regulates microtubule dynamics via activation of tubulin cofactor B (TCoB) and DLC1, and inhibition of stathmin. In spite of a large body o
