Popis: Kariya, Oyama et al. propose that αvβ3 can drive a partial EMT phenotype characterized by maintained E-cadherin expression and upregulation of mesenchymal markers. This hybrid EMT state is independent of TGF-β1 signaling and characterised by increased migration, invasion, tumor cell proliferation, stemness and metastatic capacity.
