Abstract excerpt
The emerging roles of integrin β3 in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and drug resistance underline its significance in cancer metastasis and recurrence. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the distinctive expression of integrin β3 is less understood. In the present report, we demonstrated that repetitive exposure to transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), a potent inducer of the EMT,...
