How integrins control breast biology

Abstract: This article explores new ideas about how the ECM-integrin axis controls normal and malignant breast biology. We discuss the role of integrins in mammary stem cells, and how cell–matrix interactions regulate ductal and alveolar development and function. We also examine the contribution of integrins to tissue disorganisation and metastasis, and how an altered stromal and ECM tumour microenvironment affects the cancer cell niche both within primary tumours and at distant sites. Finally, we mention novel strategi… Show more

“…We found a significant reduction in p(Tyr1510) levels of the integrin β4 subunit in luminal cells (Paper 2 Fig.3c). Integrin β4 influences laminin signal transduction, supporting the notion that the laminin-mediated signaling associated with HMEC differentiation is diminished with age (Glukhova & Streuli 2013;Streuli & Akhtar 2009;Li et al 2003). Proliferative and migratory behaviours supported by fibronectin and collagen I (Carey et al 2017) are similarly downregulated in older HMEC.…”

“…The sensing of the cellular microenvironment comprises cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions, as well as interactions with soluble and tensile factors (Glukhova & Streuli 2013). The microenvironment has 1) chemical properties conveyed through the ligand-receptor transition; 2) physical properties including the stiffness and elasticity of the tissue transferred through mechanoreceptors being pushed and pulled and 3)…”

“…The array included the most abundant ECM proteins that are present under physiological conditions in the basal membrane in breast tissue, such as collagen I, IV, fibronectin and laminin [34]. We found that NEDD9 depletion lead to a significant decrease in adhesion to laminin, collagen I and IV (Fig.2A).…”

“…Integrins signaling is thus involved in the establishment of the apico-basal polarity (e.g. apical side speciation) of MECs and lumen formation during pregnancy, enables PRL signaling through its effectors Jak2 and Stat5 to activate milk protein genes during lactation, as well as remodeling of the mammary tissue during involution [35]. Moreover, the composition and stiffness of the BM change during MG development according to the variations in the ratio of the mammary cell types.…”

“…Moreover, the composition and stiffness of the BM change during MG development according to the variations in the ratio of the mammary cell types. Therefore, there is a critical interdependency of tissue architecture and cell fate for the spatio-temporal regulation of both mammary development and function [35]. Thus, by transducing both biochemical (survival, differentiation and functional) and biophysical signals (changes in cell shape or membrane tension through cytoskeletal changes), integrins determine the fate of MECs [35,36].…”
