Tumor-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Require β1 Integrins to Promote Anchorage-Independent Growth
27 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
The β1 integrins, known to promote cancer progression, are abundant in extracellular vesicles (EVs). We investigated whether prostate cancer (PrCa) EVs affect anchorage-independent growth and whether β1 integrins are required for this effect. Specifically using a cell-line-based genetic rescue and an in vivo PrCa model, we show that gradient-purified small EVs (sEVs) from either cancer cells or blood from...
