Suppression of rho B expression in invasive carcinoma from head and neck cancer patients.

Abstract

These results give additional support to the notion that RhoB may play a tumor suppressive role in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The lack of RhoB expression in deeply invasive carcinoma argues against inhibition of RhoB farnesylation as a mediator of farnesyltransferase inhibitors' antitumor activity.
