✦ Synopsis

Human melanoma represents one of the most metastatic cancers in man. The capacity of melanoma cells to invade a variety of tissues and extracellular matrices is, in part, due to their repertoire of adhesion receptors. To this end, human melanoma cells express multiple integrin cell adhesion receptors among these is the vitronectin receptor, av[33. This adhesion receptor enables melanoma cells to attach to a wide variety of extracellular matrix components containing the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp. This review will focus on the biosynthetic, biochemical and biological properties of this receptor expressed on the surface of human melanoma cells.

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
