ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • deletion of both Rac1 and Rac2 murine alleles leads to a massive egress of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC/Ps) into the blood from the marrow
  • mice with specific Rac1 deficiency in the B cell lineage display a completely blocked development of B cell
  • deletion of Rac1 in adult mouse epidermis stimulated stem cells to divide and undergo terminal differentiation, leading to failure to maintain the interfollicular epidermis, hair follicles, and sebaceous glands
  • temporally and specifically deleted Rac1 gene in adult mouse cardiomyocytes leads to decreased gp91(phox) and p67(phox) interaction, NADPH oxidase activity, and myocardial oxidative stress in response to angiotensin II stimulation
  • amount of Rac1 associating with beta4 integrin and the activity of both Rac1 and cofilin are significantly lower in BPAG1e-deficient keratinocyte cells
