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
## BACKGROUND. Integrins participate in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. In this study we determined whether ␣IIb3 integrin is involved in metastasis of human prostate adenocarcinoma cells. METHODS. Prostate adenocarcinoma PC-3 and DU-145 cell lines express ␣IIb3. Northern blotting, 5Ј-RA
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
