Popis: Cell division control (CDC) 42 has been involved in the regulation of diverse cancers. Macrophage recruitment plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of tumor. However, it remains unclear whether CDC42 contributes to macrophage recruitment and lung tumorigenesisSmall interference RNA (siRNA) was used to knock down CDC42 in the Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)1. The invasion capability of CDC42 knockdown LLC1 cells was evaluated. LLC1 cells with CDC42 targeted small hairpin RNA (shRNA) were inoculated into C57BL/6 mice to establish the tumor-bearing animal model Tumor size and metastasis related proteins were measured. In addition, the invasion of macrophages in the tumor site as well as macrophage chemokine were also determined in the model.The capacity of invasion and metastasis of LLC1 cells significantly decreased when CDC42 was knocked down. When inoculated with CDC42 knockdown LLC1 cellsOur data suggest that the inhibition of CDC42 expression in lung cancer cells can significantly prevent the pathogenesis and development of tumor in an allograft tumor model
