Septin11 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma cell motility by activating RhoA to regulate cytoskeleton and cell adhesion.

Septins as GTPases in the cytoskeleton, are linked to a broad spectrum of cellular functions, including cell migration and the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, roles of SEPT11, the new member of septin, have been hardly understood in HCC. In the study, the clinical significance and biological function of SEPT11 in HCC was explored.
