Transient down-regulation of beta1 integrin subtypes on kidney carcinoma cells is induced by mechanical contact with endothelial cell membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Adhesion molecules of the integrin beta1 family are thought to be involved in the malignant progression renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Still, it is not clear how they contribute to this process.

β1 integrins as therapeutic targets to disrupt hallmarks of cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Integrins belong to a large family of αβ heterodimeric transmembrane proteins first recognized as adhesion molecules that bind to dedicated elements of the extracellular matrix and also to other surrounding cells.

In mitosis integrins reduce adhesion to extracellular matrix and strengthen adhesion to adjacent cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
To enter mitosis, most adherent animal cells reduce adhesion, which is followed by cell rounding. How mitotic cells regulate adhesion to neighboring cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is poorly understood.

A point mutation of integrin beta 1 subunit blocks binding of alpha 5 beta 1 to fibronectin and invasin but not recruitment to adhesion plaques. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
A point mutation in a highly conserved region of the beta 1 subunit, Asp130 to Ala (D130A) substitution, abrogates the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-dependent binding of alpha 5 beta 1 to fibronectin (FN) without disrupting gross structure or heterodimer assembly ...

Biological and Clinical Consequences of Integrin Binding via a Rogue RGD Motif in the SARS CoV-2 Spike Protein

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Although ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2) is considered the primary receptor for CoV-2 cell entry, recent reports suggest that alternative pathways may contribute. This paper considers the hypothesis that viral binding to cell-surface integrins may

The Inflammatory Response After Ischemic Stroke: Targeting β2 and β1 Integrins

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability with limited therapeutic options. Resulting inflammatory mechanisms after reperfusion (removal of the thrombus) result in cytokine activation, calcium influx, and leukocytic infiltration to the ...

Exosome-mediated Transfer of αvβ3 Integrin from Tumorigenic to Nontumorigenic Cells Promotes a Migratory Phenotype. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The αvβ3 integrin is known to be highly upregulated during cancer progression and promotes a migratory and metastatic phenotype in many types of tumors.

Integrin activation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2004
The ability of cells to regulate dynamically their adhesion to one another and to the extracellular matrix (ECM) that surrounds them is essential in multicellular organisms. The integrin family of transmembrane adhesion receptors mediates both cell-cell and cell-ECM adhesion.

Lipid-rafts remain stable even after ionizing radiation induced disintegration of β1 integrin containing focal adhesions

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2017
Objective Adhesion of cells to the extracellular matrix is facilitated by integrin receptors. We recently found that a nanoscale organization of plasma membrane located integrins containing the β1 subunit is responsible for an enhanced radio-resistance ...

Identification of integrin drug targets for 17 solid tumor types. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Integrins are contributors to remodeling of the extracellular matrix and cell migration. Integrins participate in the assembly of the actin cytoskeleton, regulate growth factor signaling pathways, cell proliferation, and control cell motility.
