Interplay between cadherins and α2β1 integrin differentially regulates melanoma cell invasion
29 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Malignant transformation of melanocytes frequently coincides with an alteration in the expression of cell-cell adhesion molecules (cadherins) and cell-extracellular matrix proteins (integrins). How these two adhesion systems interplay to impact on cell invasion remains to be described in melanoma. METHODS: Cell adhesion networks were localised by immunofluorescence in human primary cutaneous melanoma,...
