Integrins participate in the pathogenesis and progression of tumors at many stages during metastatic cascade. However, current evidence for role integrins breast cancer is contradictory seems to be dependent on tumor stage, differentiation status, microenvironmental influences. While some studies suggest that loss α2β1 enhances metastasis, other this integrin pro-tumorigenic. few have looked context bone metastasis. In study, we aimed understand metastasis bone. To address this, utilized...
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key players in tumor progression, helping cells to modify their microenvironment, which allows cell migration secondary sites. The role of integrins, adhesion receptors that connect the extracellular matrix, MMP expression and activity has been previously suggested. However, mechanisms by integrins control not completely understood. Particularly, α2β1 integrin, one major collagen I receptors, studied. Alternagin-C (ALT-C), a...
