Activated K-ras is involved in regulation of integrin expression in human colon carcinoma cells.

Abstract excerpt

Integrins participate in controlling proliferation and migration. Therefore, changes in integrin expression might be responsible for unrestrained proliferation and invasiveness of tumor cells. Alterations of integrin subunit expression have been observed in human colon carcinoma, especially loss or reduction of the alpha5 subunit, which was observed consistently. The mechanisms responsible for reduction of alpha5...
