## Abstract The net balance between urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor type‐1 (PAI‐1) has been implicated in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. To elucidate the mechanism of the transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1)‐dependent up‐regulation of PAI‐1 expr
## Abstract We previously showed that integrin αvβ3 overexpression and engagement by its ligand vitronectin increased adhesion, motility, and proliferation of human ovarian cancer cells. In search of differentially regulated genes involved in these tumor biological events, we previously identified
Long-term administration of pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids inhibits bone formation and results in osteoporosis. Since integrin-mediated cell-matrix interactions are essential for osteoblast function, we hypothesized that the detrimental effect of glucocorticoids on bone derived, at least i
