RAC1 and malignant colon neoplasm: To test whether Rac1 can promote the nuclear translocation of β-catenin, we inhibited Rac1 activity and analyzed β-catenin subcellular distribution in human colon cancer cell lines with mutated β-catenin (SW480, HCT116) and fibroblastic (NIH 3T3) cell lines using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope.
