MCT-1 promotes multinucleation dependent on the p190B/RhoA function. MDA-MB-468 cells were analyzed. (a) Cells were reactivated for 30 min after starving for 24 h. Immunoprecipitation of p190B was conducted and was it observed that MCT-1 knockdown (shMCT-1) reduced the signal activation and interaction of Src/p190B. (b) RhoA activation and multinucleation were analyzed after depleting p190B by  shRNA (nos. 1 and 2). (c) Knockdown of p190B activated RhoA but suppressed the MCT-1-induced multinuclearity. (d) The vectors encoding wtRhoA, caRhoA and dnRhoA were transfected to modify RhoA activity. (e) MCT-1-induced multinucleation was prevented by caRhoA and wtRhoA but promoted by dnRhoA. (f) Overexpression of MCT-1 inhibits PTEN function and works through the Src/p190B/RhoA signaling cascade to induce multinucleation.
