ErbB2 makes beta 4 integrin an accomplice in tumorigenesis

Muthuswamy, S. K. (August 2006) ErbB2 makes beta 4 integrin an accomplice in tumorigenesis. Cell, 126 (3). pp. 443-5. ISSN 0092-8674 (Print)

Abstract

Integrins modulate signaling by growth factor receptors, but their role during tumorigenesis is not clear. Guo et al. (2006) now demonstrate that alpha 6 beta 4 integrin cooperates with ErbB2 in the formation of mammary tumors and discover distinct pathways that regulate cellular proliferation and adhesion downstream of the ErbB2-integrin complex.
