    SDF-1 and PDGF enhance αvβ5-mediated ERK activation and adhesion-independent growth of human pre-B cell lines

    CD23 acts through the αvβ5 integrin to promote growth of human pre-B cell lines in an adhesion-independent manner. αvβ5 is expressed on normal B-cell precursors in the bone marrow. Soluble CD23 (sCD23), short ...

    TGF-β-mediated activation of RhoA signalling is required for efficient V12HaRas and V600EBRAF transformation

    Transforming growth factor β-1 (TGF-β) acts as both a tumour suppressor and a tumour promoter in a context-dependent manner. The tumour-promoting activities of TGF-β are likely to result from a combination of ...

    p120-catenin is required for the collective invasion of squamous cell carcinoma cells via a phosphorylation-independent mechanism

    Loss of E-cadherin-mediated cell–cell junctions has been correlated with cancer cell invasion and poor patient survival. p120-catenin has emerged as a key player in promoting E-cadherin stability and adherens ...

    Transcription factors control invasion: AP-1 the first among equals

    Metastasis, the aggressive spread of a malignant tumor to distant organs, is a major cause of death in cancer patients. Despite this critical role in cancer outcomes, the molecular mechanisms that control this...

    Calpain 2 and Src dependence distinguishes mesenchymal and amoeboid modes of tumour cell invasion: a link to integrin function

    Cancer cells can invade three-dimensional matrices by distinct mechanisms, recently defined by their dependence on extracellular proteases, including matrix metalloproteinases. Upon treatment with protease inh...

    The CD23a and CD23b proximal promoters display different sensitivities to exogenous stimuli in B lymphocytes

    The single human CD23 gene encodes two protein products differing by six or seven amino acids in the extreme N-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The patterns of expression of CD23a and CD23b transcripts differs as ...
