Abstract

We have investigated the expression of the integrin beta 1 subunit in 51 colorectal cancer tissues using immunoblotting and have determined the relationship between expression and clinical stage. In comparison with normal mucosa the pre-beta-subunit (the precursor of beta 1-subunit) was increased in 15 cases and decreased in two cases, and expression of the beta 1-subunit was decreased in two cases. These alterations of expression of the beta 1-subunit were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis and depth of invasion (P < 0.01). These results suggest that integrin plays an important role in the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
