Integrin signaling aberrations in prostate cancer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrins are cell surface receptors for extracellular matrix proteins and play a key role in cell survival, proliferation, migration and gene expression. Integrin signaling has been shown to be deregulated in several types of cancer, including prostate cancer. This review is focused on integrin signaling pathways known to be deregulated in prostate cancer and known to promote prostate cancer progression.

The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and upper part of the urethra. In developed countries prostate cancer is the second common cancer (after skin cancer), and also the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer) among men. The several studies have been shown prostate cancer familial aggregation. The main reason for this aggregation is inheritance included genes....
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology The Androgen Receptor Induces Integrin a6b1 to Promote Prostate Tumor Cell Survival via NF-kB and Bcl-xL Independently of PI3K Signaling
Recent studies indicate that androgen receptor (AR) signaling is critical for prostate cancer cell survival, even in castration-resistant disease wherein AR continues to function independently of exogenous androgens. Integrin-mediated adhesion to the extracellular matrix is also important for prostate cell survival. AR-positive prostate cancer cells express primarily integrin a6b1 and adhere to...

OBJECTIVES Though the external beam radiation therapy is a standard treatment option for both organ-confined and regionally advanced prostate cancer, unluckily, despite more and more effective advances in radiation delivery procedures, the prostate cancer radioresistance still occurs in a significant amount of patients undergone radiotherapy. This review aims to highlight the molecular aberrati...
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology Trop-2 Promotes Prostate Cancer Metastasis ByModulating b1 Integrin Functions
Themolecular mechanisms underlying metastatic dissemination are still not completely understood.We have recently shown that b1 integrin-dependent cell adhesion to fibronectin and signaling is affected by a transmembrane molecule, Trop-2, which is frequently upregulated in human carcinomas. Here, we report that Trop-2 promotesmetastatic dissemination of prostate cancer cells in vivo and is abund...
