Down-regulation of integrin alpha(v)beta(3) expression and integrin-mediated signaling in glioma cells by adenovirus-mediated transfer of antisense urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and sense p16 genes.

Abstract excerpt

Interaction between the extracellular matrix and integrin receptors on cell surfaces leads not only to cell adhesion but also to intracellular signaling events that affect cell migration, proliferation, and survival. The vitronectin receptor alpha(v)beta(3) integrin is of key importance in glioma cell biology. The expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) was recently shown to co-regulate...
