    Figure 7. The ARHGAPs regulate glioma cell migration via a novel GSK-3 signaling pathway Targeting GSK-3 activity with a small-molecule inhibitor (1) prevents b-catenin degradation by ubiquitination and (2) promotes b-catenin translocation to the nucleus, where it acts as a transcription factor. Transcription of ARHGAP12 and prevention of transcription of ARHGAP29 lead to changes in Src signaling and/or phosphorylation status of RhoA and Rac1 with (3) concomi- tant adoption of a less aggressive, ameboid phenotype in migratory cells. The phenotypic change in migrating cells may affect recurrence after surgery in patients.

Scale bar 10 µm. ( G ) 2D and 3D heat maps of two untransfected control cells (asterisks in A ) and an A2E-ARHGAP29 transfected cells. White arrowheads indicate the position of the cell rear. Note the loss of PTRF/cavin1 enrichment at the cell rear in cells transfected with A2E-ARHGAP29.

    Low membrane tension promotes caveolae formation at the cell rear, whilst high membrane tension causes caveolae to flatten out, which is accompanied by the dissociation of cavin1/PTRF, EHD2, and Pacsin2 from membrane-embedded Cav1 scaffolds. The linkage between the cortical F-actin network and Cav1 scaffolds is also lost at high membrane tension. Caveolae or Cav1 scaffolds promote RhoA/ROCK signalling, MLC phosphorylation, and cell rear retraction, possibly by recruiting the RhoGEF Ect2 and ROCK to the cell rear. ARHGAP29 may be recruited to the cell rear at low membrane tension to suppress RhoA signalling, leading to reduced Cav1 Y14 phosphorylation, increased membrane tension, and caveolae flattening.
