Abstract: RhoA is a small G-protein of Ras homolog gene family, which has the GTPase activity. Higher protein expression is tightly related with malignancy. Furthermore, RhoA activity controls the signal pathway and regulates cytoskeletal rearrangements. Recent reports showed that RhoA activity-induced cytoskeleton played a pivotal role in regulating cell behaviors. Accordance with our research, this review summarizes recent progress in studying the mechanisms of RhoA-mediated cytoskeleton in tumorigenesis.
