Abstract

Purpose: Cancer cells have been shown to be more susceptible to Ran knockdown than normal cells. We nowinvestigate whether Ran is a potential therapeutic target of cancers with frequently found mutations that lead to higher Ras/MEK/ERK [mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK; MEK)] and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mTORC1 activities.
