Abstract excerpt
Previous studies indicated that transfection of the platelet integrin alphaIIbbeta3 into human melanoma cells expressing integrin alphavbeta3 promoted their in vivo (but not in vitro) growth and cell survival. To reveal the underlying pathomechanism, we have analyzed the angiogenic phenotype of alphaIIbbeta3 integrin-transduced human melanoma cells expressing integrin alphavbeta3. Upon heterotopic or orthotopic...
