Regulation of the integrin αVβ3- actin filaments axis in early osteogenesis of human fibroblasts under cyclic tensile stress

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Integrins play a prominent role in osteogenic differentiation by transmitting both mechanical and chemical signals. Integrin expression is closely associated with tensile stress, which has a positive effect on osteogenic differentiation.

Antagonizing αvβ3 Integrin Improves Ischemia-Mediated Vascular Normalization and Blood Perfusion by Altering Macrophages

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Background: αVβ3 integrin has been implicated in the physiological processes and pathophysiology of important angiogenesis-related disorders; however, the preclinical and clinical data on integrin αVβ3 antagonists have not demonstrated improved outcomes.

Non-invasively differentiating extent of liver fibrosis by visualizing hepatic integrin αvβ3 expression with an MRI modality in mice

open access: yesBiomaterials, 2016
To explore the potential of a dendrimer nanoprobe labeled with cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid pentapeptide (cRGDyK) as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tracer to non-invasively differentiate the extent of liver fibrosis.Synthetic dendrimer nanoprobes were labeled with cRGDyK (Den-RGD) to form a formulation of hepatic stellate cell (HSC ...

Multimodality tumor imaging targeting integrin αvβ3

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2005
The cell adhesion molecule integrin αvβ3 is an important player in the process of tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Antibodies, peptides, peptidomimetics, and small molecule antagonists against integrin αvβ3 have been shown to induce endothelial ...

The chemokine fractalkine can activate integrins without CX3CR1 through direct binding to a ligand-binding site distinct from the classical RGD-binding site.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The chemokine domain of fractalkine (FKN-CD) binds to the classical RGD-binding site of αvβ3 and that the resulting ternary complex formation (integrin-FKN-CX3CR1) is critical for CX3CR1 signaling and FKN-induced integrin activation.

Application of Force to a Syndecan-4 Containing Complex With Thy-1–αVβ3 Integrin Accelerates Neurite Retraction

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
Inflammation contributes to the genesis and progression of chronic diseases, such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Upregulation of integrins in astrocytes during inflammation induces neurite retraction by binding to the neuronal protein Thy-1, also known

Secondary Site Ligand for Integrin αVβ3 Enables Targeted mRNA Delivery

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Non‐orthosteric, low‐affinity ligands for integrin αVβ3, identified by fragment screening, achieve superselective nanoparticle targeting (ακ ≈ 3) of αVβ3‐overexpressing endothelial cells. Unlike traditional arginine–glycine–aspartate decorated particles, these fragment‐functionalized LNPs discriminate cells by receptor density and deliver mRNA to ...

Targeting the Tie2–αvβ3 integrin axis with bi-specific reagents for the inhibition of angiogenesis

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2018
Background Increased activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase Tie2 has been implicated in the promotion of pathological angiogenesis. This activity is mainly mediated through angiopoietin (Ang)1- and Ang2-dependent activation of integrins by Tie2 ...
