The characteristics and the multiple functions of integrin β1 in human cancers
Integrins, which consist of two non-covalently linked α and β subunits, play a crucial role in cell–cell adhesion and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions.

Sharpin suppresses β1-integrin activation by complexing with the β1 tail and kindlin-1
Background Previously sharpin has been identified as an endogenous inhibitor of β1-integrin activation by directly binding to a conserved region in the cytoplasmic tails (CTs) of the integrin β1-associated α subunits. Methods Here we employed biochemical

Decreased integrin β1 in lipid raft inhibits proliferation and migration of HPS rat serum-induced PMVECs [PDF]
Objective To investigate the effects of integrin β1 within lipid raft on PMVECs. Methods PMVECs were divided into four groups: control group; HPS group: HPS; group and MβCD group: the cells were pretreated with 0.01 mol/L MβCD for 1 hour, and

ß1 integrins regulate mammary gland proliferation and maintain the integrity of mammary alveoli [PDF]
Integrins are cell adhesion receptors which mediate interactions between the extracellular matrix and the actin cytoskeleton. They are heterodimers composed of α and β subunits. As adhesion receptors, integrins are important for cell-cell and cell-matrix

Cdc42 promotes transendothelial migration of cancer cells through β1 integrin. [PDF]
Cancer cells interact with endothelial cells during the process of metastatic spreading. Here, we use a small interfering RNA screen targeting Rho GTPases in cancer cells to identify Cdc42 as a critical regulator of cancer cell-endothelial cell ...

NADPH oxidase (NOX) in the heart : the interplay of NOX-derived ROS in β1-integrin-induced survival signalling [PDF]
Moderate levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as mediators in cellular signalling processes. An important source of cardiac ROS is the highly expressed NADPH oxidase (NOX) family isoform NOX2. However, little is known about whether NOX-derived ROS

Integrin-mediated cell-matrix interaction in physiological and pathological blood vessel formation [PDF]
Physiological as well as pathological blood vessel formation are fundamentally dependent on cell-matrix interaction. Integrins, a family of major cell adhesion receptors, play a pivotal role in development, maintenance, and remodeling of the vasculature.
