Overexpression of RASD1 inhibits glioma cell migration/invasion and inactivates the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
Abstract The RAS signaling pathway is hyperactive in malignant glioma due to overexpression and/or increased activity. A previous study identified that RASD1, a member of the RAS superfamily of small G-proteins, is a significantly dysregulated gene in oligodendroglial tumors that responded to chemot...

Abstract The RAS signaling pathway is hyperactive in malignant glioma due to overexpression and/or increased activity. A previous study identified that RASD1, a member of the RAS superfamily of small G-proteins, is a significantly dysregulated gene in oligodendroglial tumors that responded to chemotherapy. However, the role and mechanism of RASD1 in the progression of human glioma remain largely unknown. In the present study, by analyzing a public genomics database, we found that high levels of RASD1 predicted good survival of astrocytoma patients. We thus established lentivirus-mediated RASD1-overexpressing glioma cells and found that overexpressing RASD1 had no significant effects on glioma cell proliferation. However, the overexpression of RASD1 inhibited glioma cell migration and invasion. In the intracranial glioma xenograft model, the overexpression of RASD1 significantly reduced the number of tumor cells invading into the surrounding tissues without affecting the tumor size. An intracellular signaling array revealed that the phosphorylation of both AKT and the S6 ribosomal protein significantly decreased with RASD1 overexpression in glioma cells. Interestingly, RASD1 protein levels were significantly higher in grade II and grade III astrocytoma tissues than in nontumorous brain tissues.
