Cytofluorimetric and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis showed that adriamycinresistant (ADR R ), but not sensitive (WT), MCF-7 human mammary carcinoma cell lines express a4b1 and a5b1 integrins. ADR R cells adhere to fibronectin (FN), and only a5b1 is involved in cell

The integrin ␣91 is one of the recently identified integrins whose expression is restricted to specialized tissues. Its exact function is still unknown. In the present study, we have analyzed the expression of the ␣9 subunit in human fetal and adult small intestinal and colonic epithelia as well as
Cell-matrix interactions are thought to be of critical importance in the regulation of various cell functions, including proliferation, migration and control of gene expression. The integrins, a large family of specific receptors for the macromolecules of the extracellular matrix, are important medi
The p53 null HL-60 cell line was transfected with plasmids coding for either the wild-type p53 or mutant p53 gene. The stable expression of wild-type p53 resulted in a significant increase in sensitivity to the topoisomerase II poisons etoposide and doxorubicin, but not to the topoisomerase II inhib
