The rho/rho‐kinase pathway is involved in the progression of testicular germ cell tumour

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To clarify the role of one of the downstream effectors of Rho (Rho-kinase) in testicular germ cell tumour (GCT) by quantifying mRNA expression for Rho-kinase in patients with this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mRNA levels of the RhoA and Rho-kinase genes were analysed in surgical specimens of testicular GCT tissues from 57 consecutive Japanese patients, and in the corresponding non-tumour tissue...
