Recombinant Human Integrin alpha-7 (ITGA7), partial

1. Speculate that the postnatal splicing of alpha7A to alpha7B and of beta1A to beta1D integrins is delayed, altering spontaneous descent of the testes in the first months of life. PMID: 30089289
2. As knockdown of Integrin alpha7 (ITGA7) can effectively reduce the stemness of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells, ITGA7 could be a potential therapeutic target in OSCC treatment. PMID: 27924820
3. targeting of ITGA7 by RNAi or blocking mAbs impaired laminin-induced signaling, and it led to a significant delay in tumor engraftment plus a strong reduction in tumor size and invasion. PMID: 28602620
4. Taken together, these results further support the use of a7 integrin as a potential therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy PMID: 26076707
5. Data indicate that S100 calcium binding protein P (S100P) increased lung cancer cell migration by binding integrin alpha7. PMID: 26320193
6. Data suggest that ITGA7 is an epigenetically regulated tumour suppressor gene and a prognostic factor in human malignant pleural mesothelioma. PMID: 26011651
7. ITGA7 binds to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) in prostate cancer cells. PMID: 23830872
8. The absence of either alpha7beta1 integrin or alpha6beta1 integrin impairs the ability of Schwann cells to spread and to bind laminin. PMID: 24227711
9. Digenic mutational inheritance of the integrin alpha 7 and the myosin heavy chain 7B genes causes congenital myopathy with left ventricular non-compact cardiomyopathy. [ITGA7] PMID: 23800289
10. Alpha7beta1D integrin modifies Ca2+ regulatory pathways and offers a means to protect the myocardium from ischemic injury. PMID: 24091324
11. This report provides a novel insight into the mechanism, involving interaction with high temperature requirement A2, by which ITGA7 acts as a tumor suppressor. PMID: 20651226
12. ILK interaction with MCM7 and MCM7 phosphorylation may be a critical event in ITGA7 signaling pathway, leading to tumor suppression. PMID: 20460506
13. conclude that secondary integrin alpha 7 deficiency is rather common in muscular dystrophy/myopathy of unknown etiology PMID: 12057917
14. FHL2 and FHL3, respectively, are colocalized with alpha(7)beta(1) integrin receptor at the periphery of Z-discs, suggesting a role in mechanical stabilization of muscle cells PMID: 15117962
15. alpha7-expressing fetal myoblasts are capable of differentiation to osteoblast lineage with a coordinated switch in integrin profiles and may represent a mechanism that promotes homing and recruitment of myogenic stem cells for tissue remodeling. PMID: 17054947
16. Integrin alpha7 mutations are associated with prostate cancer, liver cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, and leiomyosarcoma PMID: 17551147
17. analysis of how distinct acidic clusters and hydrophobic residues in the alternative splice domains X1 and X2 of alpha7 integrins define specificity for laminin isoforms PMID: 17618648
18. Alpha7B is a novel marker of the contractile phenotype, and alpha7 expression is essential for human airway smooth muscle cell maturation, which is a laminin-dependent process. PMID: 17641293
19. cleavage is a novel mechanism that regulates alpha7 integrin functions in skeletal muscle, and that the generation of such cleavage sites is another evolutionary mechanism for expanding and modifying protein functions. PMID: 18940796
20. laminin-111 (alpha(1), beta(1), gamma(1)), which is expressed during embryonic development but absent in normal or dystrophic skeletal muscle, increased alpha(7)-integrin expression in mouse and DMD patient myoblasts PMID: 19416897
