Targeted inactivation of β1 integrin induces β3 integrin switching, which drives breast cancer metastasis by TGF-β
4 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Mammary tumorigenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) programs cooperate in converting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) from a suppressor to a promoter of breast cancer metastasis. Although previous reports associated β1 and β3 integrins with TGF-β stimulation of EMT and metastasis, the functional interplay and plasticity exhibited by these adhesion molecules in shaping the oncogenic activities of...
