ROCK1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: That study also detected increased expression of ARHGEF10L in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and demonstrated that this increased expression stimulates hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and migration by activating the RhoA-ROCK1-phospho-ERM pathway and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in two liver tumor cell lines and in tumor-bearing mice.
