BCG directly induces cell cycle arrest in human transitional carcinoma cell lines as a consequence of integrin cross-linking
12 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Current models of the mechanism by which intravesical BCG induces an anti-tumor effect in urothelial carcinoma propose a secondary cellular immune response as principally responsible. Our group has demonstrated that BCG mediated cross-linking of alpha51 integrin receptors present on the tumor surface elicits a complex biologic response involving AP1 and NF-kappaB signaling as well as the...
