Molecular imaging of integrin αvβ6 expression in living subjects.
Integrins, a family of cell adhesion molecules composed of α and β heterodimeric subunits, are involved in a wide range of cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions. The study of integrin family members as targets for molecular imaging and therapy has been generally limited with the exception of integrin αvβ3. vβ6, a member of the integrin family, is expressed at low or undetectable ...
متن کاملInvestigating the Interaction of Cyclic RGD Peptidomimetics with αVβ6 Integrin by Biochemical and Molecular Docking Studies
The interaction of a small library of cyclic RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptidomimetics with αVβ₆ integrin has been investigated by means of competitive solid phase binding assays to the isolated receptor and docking calculations in the crystal structure of the αVβ₆ binding site. To this aim, a rigid receptor-flexible ligand docking protocol has been set up and then applied to predict the binding mode o...
متن کاملGeneration and Characterization of a Diabody Targeting the αvβ6 Integrin
The αvβ6 integrin is up-regulated in cancer and wound healing but it is not generally expressed in healthy adult tissue. There is increasing evidence that it has a role in cancer progression and will be a useful target for antibody-directed cancer therapies. We report a novel recombinant diabody antibody fragment that targets specifically αvβ6 and blocks its function. The diabody was engineered...
متن کاملTherapeutic Targeting of Integrin αvβ6 in Breast Cancer
BACKGROUND Integrin αvβ6 promotes migration, invasion, and survival of cancer cells; however, the relevance and role of αvβ6 has yet to be elucidated in breast cancer. METHODS Protein expression of integrin subunit beta6 (β6) was measured in breast cancers by immunohistochemistry (n > 2000) and ITGB6 mRNA expression measured in the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium ...
متن کاملCritical role for αvβ6 integrin in enamel biomineralization.
Tooth enamel has the highest degree of biomineralization of all vertebrate hard tissues. During the secretory stage of enamel formation, ameloblasts deposit an extracellular matrix that is in direct contact with the ameloblast plasma membrane. Although it is known that integrins mediate cell-matrix adhesion and regulate cell signaling in most cell types, the receptors that regulate ameloblast a...
