Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are a subset of tumor cells that drive glioma initiation and progression. The molecular mechanisms underlying the maintenance of GSC are still poorly understood. Here we investigated the role of RhoGDIα in GSCs. Over-expression of RhoGDIα suppressed the self-renewal and promoted the differentiation of GSCs. Further data suggested RhoGDIα inhibited the transcription of Oct4 through RhoA/ROCK1/FOXO1 pathway. Moreover, inactivation of ROCK1 also decreased the self-renewal and Oct4 transcriptional activity, and rescued the effects caused by RhoGDIα knockdown. Our results indicate that RhoGDIα is involved in the maintenance of GSCs.
Keywords:GSCs; RhoGDIα; self-renewal; Differentiation; Oct4.
