EGFL7 ligates αvβ3 integrin to enhance vessel formation.
Angiogenesis, defined as blood vessel formation from a preexisting vasculature, is governed by multiple signal cascades including integrin receptors, in particular integrin αVβ3. Here we identify the endothelial cell (EC)-secreted factor epidermal growth factor-like protein 7 (EGFL7) as a novel specific ligand of integrin αVβ3, thus providing mechanistic insight into its proangiogenic actions i...
متن کاملAcute, but not constitutive, loss of endothelial β3-integrin inhibits tumour growth and angiogenesis
Background Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels from pre-existing ones, is essential for tumour growth and metastasis. Endothelial cells play a central role in this process: they drive blood vessel formation in response to signals from the local environment, by a mechanism that is integrindependent. We are particularly interested in understanding what role avb3-integrin plays in governing...
متن کاملTumor AvB3 Integrin Is a Therapeutic Target for Breast Cancer Bone Metastases
In breast cancer bone metastasis, tumor cells stimulate osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, and bone-derived growth factors released from resorbed bone stimulate tumor growth. The AvB3 integrin is an adhesion receptor expressed by breast cancer cells and osteoclasts. It is implicated in tumor cell invasion and osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Here, we hypothesized that the therapeutic targ...
متن کاملVascular expression of the avb3-integrin in lung and other organs
Singh, Baljit, Chenzhong Fu, and Jahar Bhattacharya. Vascular expression of the avb3-integrin in lung and other organs. Am. J. Physiol. Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 278: L217–L226, 2000.—The expression of the avb3-integrin in nonproliferating vascular beds remains unclear. To determine possible organ-specific differences, we compared avb3integrin expression in the lung and other organs. Paraffinemb...
متن کاملOsteopontin and its Integrin Receptor avb3 Are Upregulated During Formation of the Glial Scar After Focal Stroke
Background and Purpose—Microglia and astrocytes in the peri-infarct region are activated in response to focal stroke. A critical function of activated glia is formation of a protective barrier that ultimately forms a new glial-limiting membrane. Osteopontin, a provisional matrix protein expressed during wound healing, is induced after focal stroke. The present study was performed to determine t...
