Induction of β3-Integrin Gene Expression by Sustained Activation of the Ras-Regulated Raf–MEK–Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Signaling Pathway

Abstract excerpt

Alterations in the expression of integrin receptors for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are strongly associated with the acquisition of invasive and/or metastatic properties by human cancer cells. Despite this, comparatively little is known of the biochemical mechanisms that regulate the expression of integrin genes in cells. Here we demonstrate that the Ras-activated Raf-MEK-extracellular signal-regulated...
