Integrin Signaling in Cancer Cell Survival and Chemoresistance

Figure 1

Laminin and fibronectin-mediated resistance to drug-induced apoptosis in breast cancer. Ligation of α3β1, α6β4, and α5β1 integrins with laminins and fibronectin, respectively, protects breast cancer cells from several cytotoxic agents via the activation of the PI 3-kinase/AKT and MAPK/ERK survival pathways.
