RhoGDI2 (ARHGDIB) suppresses metastasis in a variety of cancers but the mechanism is unclear; thus, hampering development of human therapeutics. RhoGDI2 is a guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) for the Rho family of GTPases thought to primarily bind to Rac1; however, Rac1 activation was not decreased by RhoGDI2 expression in bladder cancer cells. To better understand the GTPase binding partners for RhoGDI2, a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach was employed in bladder cancer cells. As expected endogenous RhoGDI2 co-immunoprecipitates with Rac1 and unexpectedly so does RhoC. Further analysis demonstrated that RhoGDI2 negatively regulates RhoC, as knockdown of RhoGDI2 increased RhoC activation in response to serum stimulation. Conversely, overexpression of RhoGDI2 decreased RhoC activation. RhoC promoted bladder cancer cell growth and invasion, as knockdown increased cell doubling time, decreased invasion through Matrigel, and decreased colony formation in soft agar. Importantly, RhoC knockdown reduced in vivo lung colonization by bladder cancer cells following tail vein injection in immune compromised mice. Finally, unbiased transcriptome analysis revealed a set of genes regulated by RhoGDI2 over-expression and RhoC knockdown in bladder cancer cells.
