Therapeutic targeting of Integrin v 6 in breast cancer [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Integrin ?v?6 promotes migration, invasion, and survival of cancer cells; however, the relevance and role of ?v?6 has yet to be elucidated in breast cancer.METHODS: Protein expression of integrin subunit beta6 (?6) was measured in breast ...

Integrin activation [PDF]

BMB Reports, 2014
Integrin-mediated cell adhesion is important for development, immune responses, hemostasis and wound healing. Integrins also function as signal transducing receptors that can control intracellular pathways that regulate cell survival, proliferation, and cell fate.

Integrins and the Myocardium [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2001
Abstract —Extracellular matrix provides a structural, chemical, and mechanical substrate that is essential in cardiac development, growth, and responses to pathophysiological signals. Transmembrane receptors termed integrins provide a dynamic interaction of environmental cues and intracellular events.

Win, Lose, or Tie: Mathematical Modeling of Ligand Competition at the Cell–Extracellular Matrix Interface

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Integrin transmembrane proteins conduct mechanotransduction at the cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) interface. This process is central to cellular homeostasis and therefore is particularly important when designing instructive biomaterials and organoid ...

The role of NCAM signaling and its effector protein, [beta]1-integrin, in tumor progression [PDF]

, 2007
Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM) is a member of the large family of Ca2+independent, immunoglobulin (Ig)-like cell adhesion molecules. So far, its function in homophilic and heterophilic interactions has been mainly studied in neuronal cells, where ...

Integrins in Mechanotransduction [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2004
Mechanical forces are crucial to the regulation of cell and tissue morphology and function. At the cellular level, forces influence cytoskeletal organization, gene expression, proliferation, and survival. Integrin-mediated adhesions are intrinsically mechanosensitive and a large body of data implicates integrins in sensing mechanical forces.

Nascent Adhesion Clustering: Integrin-Integrin and Integrin-Substrate Interactions [PDF]

Biophysica, 2022
Nascent adhesions (NAs) are a general precursor to the formation of focal adhesions (FAs) that provide a fundamental mechanism for cell adhesion that is, in turn, involved in cell proliferation, migration, and mechanotransduction. Nascent adhesions form when cells come into contact with substrates at all rigidities and generally involve the clustering ...

Selection and Characterization of an α6β4 Integrin blocking DNA Aptamer

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016
The heterodimeric laminin receptor α6β4 integrin plays a central role in the promotion of tumor cell growth, invasion, and organotropic metastasis. As an overproduction of the integrin is often linked to a poor prognosis, the inhibition of integrin α6β4 ...

Role of LFA-1 integrin in the control of a lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection

Virulence, 2020
Leukocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) is the most widely expressed member of the β2 integrin family of cell-cell adhesion molecules. Although LFA-1 is thought to regulate multiple aspects of T cell immunity, its role in the response of CD8+ T ...
