The factors that determine the metastatic behavior of pancreatic tumor cells are incompletely understood. In this study, we first demonstrate differences in adhesion properties, integrin expression and in vivo integrin function in the metastatic tumor cell line PaTu 8988s compared with the non-metas

Cyclic strain has been shown to modulate endothelial cell (EC) morphology, proliferation, and function. We have recently reported that the focal adhesion proteins focal adhesion kinase (pp125 FAK ) and paxillin, are tyrosine phosphorylated in EC exposed to strain and these events regulate the morpho
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
Chondrosarcoma is a type of highly malignant tumor with a potent capacity to invade locally and cause distant metastasis. Chondrosarcoma shows a predilection for metastasis to the lungs. Integrins are the major adhesive molecules in mammalian cells and have been associated with metastasis of cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and integrins have been implicated in a variety of processes involved in tumor progression. To evaluate the individual roles of integrin alphavbeta3 and membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), as well as the effects of their joint expression on tumor cell
