Our results showed that OPN and αvβ3 protein were expressed in the placenta from normal pregnant woman and those with preeclampsia. OPN was located in the placental syncytiotrophoblasts and the cytoplasm of capillary endothelial cells and integrin αvβ3 was mainly expressed on the surface of trophoblast cells. Expression of OPN and integrin αvβ3 in the placental tissue from preeclampsia subjects was significantly lower than that from the control group (P〈0.05). Compared with the control group, expression of OPN in the placental tissue from preeclampsia group was significantly lower (P〈0.05) but there was no significant difference in the expression of αv and β3 between the preeclampsia group and the controls. It is concluded that OPN and its receptor integrin αvβ3 may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.展开更多

In addition, the integrin αvβ3 inhibitor can block the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and also can reduce inflammatory reaction, decrease the deposition of fibrinogen. Other studies showed that integrin αvβ3 is not essential in revascularization. Therefore, the effect of integrin αvβ3 in the whole process of brain function recovery merits further study.展开更多

Methods: Lung cancer tissue, paracancer tissue and normal tissue were collected and integrin αVβ3 expression was detected; BALB/c nude mice were selected, divided into integrin αVβ3 knockdown group(KD group) and negative control group(NC group), and inoculated with cells stably infected by integrin αVβ3-sh RNA lentivirus and cells stably infected by negative control-sh RNA lentivirus respectively, the growth of tumor tissue was continuously observed, and the number of apoptosis cells as well as the expression of angiogenesis, apoptosis and invasion genes in tumor tissue were detected. Results: m RNA content and protein content of integrin αVβ3 in lung cancer tissue were significantly higher than those in paracancer tissue and normal tissue; increasing trend of tumor tissue volume of KD group was weaker than that of NC group, and tumor volume at various points in time of KD group was lower than that of NC group; m RNA contents and protein contents of VEGF, FGF, EGF, Bcl-2, MMP-9, MMP-12 and MMP-13 in tumor tissue of KD group were lower than those of NC group, and apoptosis index as well as m RNA content and protein content of Bax were higher than those of NC group. Conclusions: The expression of integrin αVβ3 increases in lung cancer tissue, and lentivirus-mediated integrin αVβ3-sh RNA can inhibit tumor growth of mice with lung cancer xenografts.展开更多

The present study analyzed the effects of IP on integrin αvβ3 mRNA expression following cerebral ischemia through the use of hematoxylin-eosin staining and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction techniques. Integrin avid3 mRNA expression in the ischemia group peaked at 24 hours after ischemia-reperfusion. In the IP + ischemia group, integrin αvβ3 mRNA expression increased after 24 hours, but remained significantly less than the ischemia group, and expression continued to increase until 7 days after ischemiaJreperfusion. These results demonstrate that IP effectively attenuated upregulation of integrin αvβ3 mRNA expression at 24 hours after ischemia.展开更多
