PURPOSE Gold nanoshells (NSs) have already shown great promise as photothermal actuators for cancer therapy. Integrin αvβ3 is a marker that is specifically and preferentially overexpressed on multiple tumor types and on angiogenic tumor neovasculature. Active targeting of NSs to integrin αvβ3 offers the potential to increase accumulation preferentially in tumors and thereby enhance therapy effi...
Pathogens are sensed by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and a growing number of non-TLR receptors. Integrins constitute a family of signaling receptors exploited by viruses and bacteria to access cells. By gain- and loss-of-function approaches we found that αvβ3-integrin is a sensor of and plays a crucial role in the innate defense against herpes simplex virus (HSV). αvβ3-integrin signaled through t...
We recently noted that the matricellular protein WISP1 contributes to sepsis induced acute lung injury (ALI) via integrin β6. In the current study, we pursued further aspects of WISP1 modulation of TLR signaling in lungs of mice after sepsis and TLR4 mediated release of TNF-α in macrophages. After confirming that TLR4 and CD14 are critical in transducing sepsis mediated ALI, we now demonstrate ...
The integrin αvβ3 functions in both cell–cell and cell– extracellular matrix adhesion, and has reported roles in platelet aggregation, immune function, tissue repair, tumour invasion, angiogenesis and uterine receptivity. The aim of this study was to use immunohistochemistry to describe the vascular and glandular expression of integrin αvβ3 in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded endometrium obtai...
Fibronectin is a critical regulator of vascular modelling, both in development and in the adult. In the hypoxic adult central nervous system (CNS), fibronectin is induced on angiogenic vessels, and endothelial cells show strong induction of the two fibronectin receptors α5β1 and αvβ3 integrins. In a previous study, we found that the αvβ3 integrin is dispensable for hypoxic-induced cerebral angi...
OBJECTIVE Arterial injury stimulates remodeling responses that, when excessive, lead to stenosis. These responses are influenced by integrin signaling in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Microfibrillar-associated protein 4 (MFAP4) is an integrin ligand localized to extracellular matrix fibers in the vascular wall. The role of MFAP4 in vascular biology is unknown. We aimed to test the hypot...
Peptide-modified cryptophane enables sensitive detection of protein analytes using hyperpolarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopy. Here we report improved targeting and delivery of cryptophane to cells expressing αvβ3 integrin receptor, which is overexpressed in many human cancers. Cryptophane was functionalized with cyclic RGDyK peptide and Alexa Fluor 488 dye, and cellular internalization was monitore...
In tuberculosis (TB), the innate inflammatory immune response drives tissue destruction, morbidity, and mortality. Monocytes secrete matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which have key roles in local tissue destruction and cavitation. We hypothesized that integrin signaling might regulate monocyte MMP secretion in pulmonary TB during cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Adhesion to typ...
The process of cancer cell invasion through the extracellular matrix (ECM) of connective tissue plays a prominent role in tumor progression and is based fundamentally on biomechanics. Cancer cell invasion usually requires cell adhesion to the ECM through the cell-matrix adhesion receptors integrins. The expression of the αvβ3 integrin is increased in several tumor types and is consistently asso...
We have previously shown that Protein Kinase C delta (PKCδ) functions as a tumor promoter in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), specifically in the context of K-ras addiction. Here we define a novel PKCδ -> integrin αVβ3 ->Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) pathway that regulates the transformed growth of K-ras dependent NSCLC cells. To explore how PKCδ regulates tumorigenesis, we per...
