The Pivotal Role of Integrin β1 in Metastasis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Abstract: Purpose This study aimed to understand the prognostic value of integrin β1 expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and the mechanism underlying its association with metastatic HNSCC. Experimental Design Archival HNSCC tissues including 99 non-metastatic primary tumors and 101 metastatic primary tumors were examined for the association of integrin β1 expression with metastasis and disease prognosis by appropriate statistical methods. Fluorescence activated cell sorting was used to separate… Show more

“…Accumulating evidence suggests that the motile behavior of cancer cells is accompanied by switches in cellular integrin patterns, with some integrins decreasing and others increasing [20]. Specifically, increases in integrins αv, α5, β1 and β3 have been shown to enhance the migration and metastasis of cancer cells [21][22][23][24].…”

“…Although degradation of the ECM, especially the basement membrane, is a key property of invasive tumors, interaction with the ECM is also important for invasion and prognosis. [135][136][137][138] Knockdown of the integrin b1 using short interfering RNA (siRNA) can reduce MMP-2 activity and invasive capability, 139 mimicking the ability of miR-124, which has been shown to target integrin b1 and reduce invasion. 140 The integrin a v b6 is upregulated in wound healing, and inhibition of integrin a v b6 also inhibits invasion.…”

“…The role of the expression rates of integrin alpha-3 for locoregional and ITGB4 for haematogenous dissemination and, therefore, cancer cell motility and anchorage-independent survival, which are vital for OSCC recurrence and metastasis, has previously been shown. Furthermore, the importance of integrin beta1 in HNSCC and stimulated vascular endothelial growth factor secretion by alphaB-crystallin in HNSCC was specified [100,101] . In addition to these considerations, there might be a spread of tumour-derived molecules on a subcellular level, such as micro-RNAs.…”
