Integrin αvβ3 promotes vitronectin gene expression in human ovarian cancer cells by implicating rel transcription factors
23 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
We previously showed that integrin αvβ3 expression upon engagement by its major ligand vitronectin (VN) correlated with enhanced human ovarian cancer cell adhesion, motility, and proliferation, by triggering intracellular signaling events, ultimately leading to altered gene expression. In the present study, we characterized cellular VN expression as a function of αvβ3 and noticed significant upregulation of VN...
