Abstract: Cytoskeleton is the internal support structure for cells to survive, mainly including microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments. Studies have confirmed that the activation of cytoskeleton upstream Rho GTPase, cytoskeleton self-remodeling and cytoskeletal related cell functions such as migration, adhesion and other cell physiological activities are related to intracellular oxidative stress. In recent years, NOX-induced oxidative stress has become one of the important factors affecting cytoskeleton-related activities. This makes it essential for us to understand NOX-induced oxidative stress and cytoskeletal regulation and lay a solid foundation for the study of related diseases.
