摘要
Integrins play an important role in tumor metastasis induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, in the case of gastric cancer, the precise role of VEGF in regulating integrin alpha v beta 6 is unclear. In this study, we found that most of the alpha v beta 6 integrin-positive gastric cancer tissues were also VEGF-positive. Furthermore, when gastric carcinoma cells were exposed to VEGF, expression of alpha v beta 6 integrin was up-regulated and the extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway was activated. When integrin alpha v beta 6 was blocked either with beta 6 siRNA or anti-alpha v beta 6 antibody, the migration of tumor cells normally induced by VEGF, as well as the activation of ERK, were markedly inhibited. Blocking the ERK signaling pathway significantly inhibited cell mobility. Taken together, the data suggest that VEGF is critical to the invasive process in human gastric cancer and that this occurs via up-regulation of integrin alpha v beta 6 expression and activation of ERK.
