Interestingly, chronic exposure of these cells to hyperglycaemic conditions appears to result in sustained activation of specific Rho GTPases (e.g. Rac1) leading to significant alterations in cellular functions including defects in mitochondrial function and nuclear collapse culminating in beta cell demise. One of the objectives of this review is to highlight our current understanding of the regulatory roles of GTP and Rho GTPases in normal islet function (e.g. proliferation and insulin secretion) as well potential defects in these signalling molecules and metabolic pathways that could contribute islet beta cell dysfunction and loss of functional beta cell mass leading to the onset of diabetes. Potential knowledge gaps in this field and possible avenues for future research are also highlighted.<b>Abbreviations:</b> ARNO: ADP-ribosylation factor nucleotide binding site opener; CML: carboxyl methylation; Epac: exchange protein directly activated by cAMP; ER stress: endoplasmic reticulum stress; FTase: farnesyltransferase; GAP: GTPase activating protein; GDI: GDP dissociation inhibitor; GEF: guanine nucleotide exchange factor; GGTase: geranylgeranyltransferase; GGpp: geranylgeranylpyrophosphate; GGPPS: geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase; GSIS: glucose-stimulated insulin secretion; HGPRTase: hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase; IMPDH: inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase; α-KIC: α-ketoisocaproic acid; MPA: mycophenolic acid; MVA: mevalonic acid; NDPK: nucleoside diphosphate kinase; NMPK: nucleoside monophosphate kinase; Nox2: phagocyte-like NADPH oxidase; PAK-I: p21-activated kinase-I; β-PIX: β-Pak-interacting exchange factor; PRMT: protein arginine methyltransferase; Rac1: ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1; Tiam1: T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis-inducing protein 1; Trx-1: thioredoxin-1; Vav2: vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2.</p>","PeriodicalId":22139,"journal":{"name":"Small GTPases","volume":"12 5-6","pages":"323-335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21541248.2020.1815508","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9701209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low level of localized RHOA activation prevents actomyosin accumulation at the cleavage furrow and participates in MK polyploidization. In the platelet production, RHOA and CDC42 play opposite, but complementary roles. RHOA inhibits both proplatelet formation and MK exit from BM, whereas CDC42 drives the development of the demarcation membranes and MK migration in BM. Moreover, the <i>RhoA</i> or <i>Cdc42</i> MK specific knock-out in mice and the genetic alterations in their down-stream effectors in human induce a thrombocytopenia demonstrating their key roles in platelet production. A better knowledge of Rho-GTPase signalling is thus necessary to develop therapies for diseases associated with platelet production defects.<b>Abbreviations:</b> AKT: Protein Kinase BARHGEF2: Rho/Rac Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 2ARP2/3: Actin related protein 2/3BM: Bone marrowCDC42: Cell division control protein 42 homologCFU-MK: Colony-forming-unit megakaryocyteCIP4: Cdc42-interacting protein 4mDIA: DiaphanousDIAPH1; Protein diaphanous homolog 1ECT2: Epithelial Cell Transforming Sequence 2FLNA: Filamin AGAP: GTPase-activating proteins or GTPase-accelerating proteinsGDI: GDP Dissociation InhibitorGEF: Guanine nucleotide exchange factorHDAC: Histone deacetylaseLIMK: LIM KinaseMAL: Megakaryoblastic leukaemiaMARCKS: Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrateMKL: Megakaryoblastic leukaemiaMLC: Myosin light chainMRTF: Myocardin Related Transcription FactorOTT: One-Twenty Two ProteinPACSIN2: Protein Kinase C And Casein Kinase Substrate In Neurons 2PAK: P21-Activated KinasePDK: Pyruvate Dehydrogenase kinasePI3K: Phosphoinositide 3-kinasePKC: Protein kinase CPTPRJ: Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type JRAC: Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1RBM15: RNA Binding Motif Protein 15RHO: Ras homologousROCK: Rho-associated protein kinaseSCAR: Suppressor of cAMP receptorSRF: Serum response factorSRC: SarcTAZ: Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ motifTUBB1: Tubulin β1VEGF: Vascular endothelial growth factorWAS: Wiskott Aldrich syndromeWASP: Wiskott Aldrich syndrome proteinWAVE: WASP-family verprolin-homologous proteinWIP: WASP-interacting proteinYAP: Yes-associated protein.</p>","PeriodicalId":22139,"journal":{"name":"Small GTPases","volume":" ","pages":"399-415"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/21541248.2021.1885134","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25356878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
