Signaling through urokinase and urokinase receptor in lung cancer cells requires interactions with beta1 integrinsChi Hui Tang
Pulmonary and Critical Care Division, Department of Medicine, Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
J Cell Sci 121:3747-56. 2008..Taken together, the results indicate that uPAR-beta1-integrin interactions are essential to signals induced by integrin matrix ligands or uPA that support lung cancer cell invasion in vitro and progression in vivo...- Epithelial cell alpha3beta1 integrin links beta-catenin and Smad signaling to promote myofibroblast formation and pulmonary fibrosisKevin K Kim
Pulmonary and Critical Care Division, Department of Medicine, and Cardiovascular Research Institute, UCSF, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
J Clin Invest 119:213-24. 2009..These findings demonstrate epithelial integrin-dependent profibrotic crosstalk between beta-catenin and Smad signaling and support the hypothesis that EMT is an important contributor to pathologic fibrosis... - Integrin alpha3beta1-dependent beta-catenin phosphorylation links epithelial Smad signaling to cell contactsYoung Kim
Pulmonary and Critical Care Division, Department of Medicine, and Cardiovascular Research Institute, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA
J Cell Biol 184:309-22. 2009..These findings demonstrate that alpha3beta1 coordinates cross talk between beta-catenin and Smad signaling pathways as a function of extracellular contact cues and thereby regulates responses to TGF-beta1 activation... - Integrin α6β4 identifies an adult distal lung epithelial population with regenerative potential in miceHarold A Chapman
Department of Medicine, Cardiovascular Research Institute, and Lung Biology Center, UCSF, San Francisco, California 94143, USA
