Abstract

Nuclear actin-binding proteins (ABPs) perform distinguishable functions compared with their cytoplasmic counterparts in extensive activities of living cells. In addition to the ability to regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics, nuclear ABPs are associated with multiple nuclear biological processes, including chromatin remodeling, gene transcriptional regulation, DNA damage response, nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and nuclear structure maintenance. The nuclear translocation of ABPs is affected by numerous intracellular or extracellular stimuli, which may lead to developmental malformation, tumor initiation, tumor progression and metastasis. Abnormal expression of certain ABPs have been reported in different types of cancer. This review focuses on the newly identified roles of nuclear ABPs in the pathological processes associated with cancer.
