Gliomas, characterized by their progressively invasive phenotype, express integrin ␣31 as a major receptor for the extracellular matrix both in vivo and in vitro. Since the integrin ␣31 has been shown to be a specific receptor for laminin-5 (␣33␥2), we examined the effects of purified human lamin

 1 integrins are widely expressed in human tissues but their presence and function on malignant mesothelioma cells have not been examined. In this study, we have investigated the expression and function of  1 integrins in 7 human malignant mesothelioma cell lines. Immunofluorescence staining and F
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
