Motility-related protein-1 (MRP-1)/CD9 is a trans-membrane glycoprotein closely associated with suppression of cell motility and reduced metastatic potential of some tumor cells. We currently report that, according to the RT-PCR method for MRP-1/CD9 gene expression, patients with low expression of M

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
