Rac GTPase activating protein 1 promotes the glioma growth by regulating the expression of MCM3.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is the most common tumor of the nervous system. The diffuse growth and proliferation of glioma poses great challenges for its treatment. Here, Transcriptomic analysis revealed that Rac GTPase activating protein 1 (RACGAP1) is highly expressed in glioma. RACGAP1 has been shown to play an important role in the malignant biological progression of a variety of tumors. However, the underlying role and mechanism in glioma remain poorly understood. By using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blot, immunohistochemistry and Orthotopic mouse xenografts, we confirmed that knockdown of RACGAP1 impeded cell proliferation in glioma and prolonged the survival of orthotopic mice. Interestingly, we also found that inhibiting the expression of RACGAP1 reduced the expr
