Modulation of Tumor Cell Survival, Proliferation, and Differentiation by the Peptide Derived from Tenascin-C: Implication of β1-Integrin Activation
Figure 6
TNIIIA2 protects cells from anoikis by activating the β1-integrin. (a) Time-course study of the effect of cell-detachment in survival/proliferation of NIH3T3 cells. (b) Effect of inhibition of apoptosis (Z-VAD) or α5β1 integrin signal (anti-α5 Ab and RGD peptide) in detachment-induced cell death (our unpublished observation).
