摘要
RhoA (Ras homolog gene family member A) belongs to the Rho subfamily of GTPases. ROCK (Rho—associated coiled—coil forming protein kinase) is downstream of the active RhoA and affects the generation and secretion of cellular element, which will result in relevant biologic effects. The RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway consists of these serious reactions. Therefore, the activation and inhibition of this pathway are closely related to the occurrence and development of many diseases. The research on the molecular mechanism of these diseases may be instructive and helpful to the clinical treatmen and prognosis of diseases. Recent studies of these typical diseases related to RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway are viewed in this article.
