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

An induction of laminin in the confrontation zone between tumor cells and normal brain tissue has been observed in our model systems in vivo and in vitro. In order to study the effects of ECM components on glioma-cell migration and invasion, we have used 2 lacZ-transfected glioma cell lines, AN I //
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
