Integrin signaling in cancer: bidirectional mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2023 Integrins are transmembrane receptors that possess distinct ligand-binding specificities in the extracellular domain and signaling properties in the cytoplasmic domain.

Focal adhesions as mechanosensors: the two-spring model [PDF]
, 2004 Adhesion-dependent cells actively sense the mechanical properties of their environment through mechanotransductory processes at focal adhesions, which are integrin-based contacts connecting the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton.

Integrin‐dependent pathologies [PDF]
The Journal of Pathology, 2003 AbstractCell adhesion and migration are essential for embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and immune defence. The physical link between the extracellular substrate and the actin cytoskeleton is mediated by receptors of the integrin family and a large set of adaptor proteins.

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 The Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 virus harbors a sequence of Arg-Gly-Asp tripeptide named RGD motif, which has also been identified in extracellular matrix proteins that bind integrins as well as other disintegrins and viruses. Accordingly,

Pharmacologic inhibition of RGD-binding integrins ameliorates fibrosis and improves function following kidney injury [PDF]
, 2020 Fibrosis is a final common pathway for many causes of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-binding integrins are important mediators of the pro-fibrotic response by activating latent TGF-β at sites of injury and ...

Skap2 is required for β2 integrin-mediated neutrophil recruitment and functions. [PDF]
, 2017 Integrin activation is required for neutrophil functions. Impaired integrin activation on neutrophils is the hallmark of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) syndrome in humans, characterized by impaired leukocyte recruitment and recurrent infections. The

Transmission of integrin β7 transmembrane domain topology enables gut lymphoid tissue development. [PDF]
, 2018 Integrin activation regulates adhesion, extracellular matrix assembly, and cell migration, thereby playing an indispensable role in development and in many pathological processes.

Selectins and chemokines use shared and distinct signals to activate β2 integrins in neutrophils
Blood Advances, 2018 : Rolling neutrophils receive signals while engaging P- and E-selectin and chemokines on inflamed endothelium. Selectin signaling activates β2 integrins to slow rolling velocities. Chemokine signaling activates β2 integrins to cause arrest.

Purification of a fragment obtained by autolysis of a PIIIb-SVMP from Bothrops alternatus venom [PDF]
, 2018 Snake Venom Metalloproteinases (SVMPs) represent 43.1% of the components in Bothrops alternatus venom and play an important role in envenomation. Disintegrins and disintegrin-like domains are released by proteolytic processing of PII and PIII classes of ...

Integral Roles for Integrins in γδ T Cell Function
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Integrins are adhesion receptors on the cell surface that enable cells to respond to their environment. Most integrins are heterodimers, comprising α and β type I transmembrane glycoprotein chains with large extracellular domains and short cytoplasmic ...
