Abstract excerpt
ErbB2 and alpha6 integrin have been implicated in malignancy of breast cancer cells. Here we have determined the influence of alpha6beta1 integrin on erbB2 signaling in anchorage-independent growth, using MDA-MB435 breast cancer cells. Firstly, we transfected the cells with erbB2 cDNA, and isolated cells with high or low levels of alpha6beta1 integrin by cell sorting (alpha6H-ErbB and alpha6L-ErbB). We found that...
