Abstract
Integrins, which are transmembrane receptors for extracellular matrix proteins, play a key role in cell survival, proliferation, migration, gene expression and activation of growth factor receptors. Their functions and expression are deregulated in several types of cancer, including prostate cancer. We review in this article the role of integrins in prostate cancer progression and their potential as therapeutic targets.
