Integrins and cancer

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1996
The past year or two has seen great advances in the elucidation of significant roles for integrins in cancer cells. These include roles in signal transduction, gene expression, proliferation, apoptosis regulation, invasion and metastasis, and angiogenesis. In particular, integrin alphavbeta3 has been implicated in the neovascularization of tumors.

Integrins and Angiogenesis

2004
The growth of new blood vessels is a dynamic yet highly regulated process that depends on coordinated signaling by growth factor and cell adhesion receptors. As part of the molecular program regulating angiogenesis, endothelial cells acquire a proliferative and invasive phenotype but also show increased susceptibility to apoptotic stimuli.

Integrins and reproduction

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1995
Integrins are a large family of cell surface proteins that serve as receptors, involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. These receptors are of fundamental importance in the organization of tissues and organs. Integrins participate in a complex apparatus anchoring cells to their surrounding and transducing signals into the cells.

Integrin Structure

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2000
The integrins are a family of α,β heterodimeric receptors that mediate dynamic linkages between extracellular adhesion molecules and the intracellular actin cytoskeleton. Integrins are expressed by all multicellular animals, but their diversity varies widely among species; for example, in mammals, 19 α and 8β subunit genes encode polypeptides that ...

Leukocyte integrins

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
Lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes, which are collectively known as 'leukocytes', circulate primarily within the vascular system and lymphoid tissue but are found in essentially all tissues of the body. This mobile lifestyle necessitates the constant making and breaking of adhesive contacts with targets in their immediate environment. The adhesion

Integrin signaling

Seminars in Cancer Biology, 1996
Integrins are a family of adhesion receptors used by cells to interact with their extracellular matrix. Integrins also function as signaling receptors, integrating information from the extracellular matrix and other environmental cues including growth factors and hormones.

Integrins and anoikis

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1997
The loss of integrin-mediated cell-matrix contact induces apoptosis ('anoikis') in certain cell types. Recently it has been shown that protein kinase signaling pathways control anoikis both positively and negatively. Focal adhesion kinase, when activated by integrins, can suppress anoikis.

Epithelial integrins

Cell Differentiation and Development, 1990
We have undertaken the study of integrins specifically or predominantly expressed in epithelial cells, as they may be involved in establishing and maintaining properties peculiar to epithelia, such as polarization and morphogenetic movements. We describe here recent results regarding two such integrins.

α2β1 Integrin

2014
The α2β1 integrin, also known as VLA-2, GPIa-IIa, CD49b, was first identified as an extracellular matrix receptor for collagens and/or laminins [55, 56]. It is now recognized that the α2β1 integrin serves as a receptor for many matrix and nonmatrix molecules [35, 79, 128].

Integrin Activation

Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2001
SummaryIntegrins are cell surface adhesion receptors that participate in a variety of important processes throughout the vasculature. Here we summarize some recent findings on the regulation of integrin mediated cellular adhesion. Particular emphasis is placed on the regulation of integrin affinity for ligand (activation), although this is just one ...
