概要 Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is a 130 kDa transmembrane protein crucial for mediating the effects of Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) on tumor cells promoting tumorigenesis. VEGF-A binding to NRP-1 induced the interaction between GIPC1 and Syx. PC3M (prostate cancer) and U87MG (brain tumor) cells secreted VEGF-A activated RhoA via NRP1 to upregulate the tumorigenic activity in an autocrine manner and supported the VEGF-A/NRP1 signaling pathway in cancer cells. GIPC1 formed complex with Syx that led to the activation of RhoA. NRP1/GIPC1 or GIPC1/Syx interaction occurs in VEGF-A/NRP1 signaling pathway. The RNA interference of GIPC1 or Syx reduced active RhoA. Knockdown of endogenous VEGF-A/NRP1 or GIPC/Syx expression inhibit VEGF-A/NRP1 signaling pathway in vitro. Autocrine VEGF-A signaling is crucial for cancer initiation and NRP1 is necessary for this VEGF-A/NRP1 signaling. Targeting VEGF-A/NRP1 signaling provides to develop new cancer therapeutic drugs.
