Background:
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the cancers with the highest morbidity and mortality among the world. Studies have shown that the invasion and metastasis of tumor are biological characteristics of lung cancer, and also the main cause of treatment failure and patient death. In-depth study of lung cancer invasion related genes will help to explore the etiology of lung cancer, molecular typing and individualized treatment of lung cancer. Studies have shown that CD276 molecules are closely related to the prognosis of tumors, but the exact mechanism remains to be unclear.
Methods:
We used the UALCAN and KM-plotter databases to investigate the expression of CD276 in human NSCLC and adjacent normal tissues, and its correlation with clinicopathology. In addition, we analyzed the function of CD276 in NSCLC cell by suppressing the expression of CD276 in A549 and H460 cells.
Results:
In this study, we found that CD276 expression was significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues, and its expression was positively correlated with tumor stage in NSCLC. Silencing in CD276 inhibited cell invasion and migration by reducing integrin-associated protein expression.
Conclusions:
Our results indicate functional role of CD276 in the progression of NSCLC.

Activation of Integrins
In "outside-in signaling," external factors in the extracellular space bind to exposed ligand binding sites on integrins. This causes the inactive protein to undergo a conformational change to become active. Integrins are often clustered on the cell membrane. Repetitive and regularly spaced ligand binding...

Integrins
Some ECM proteins assemble into a basement membrane to which the remaining components adhere. Proteoglycans typically form the bulk of the ECM while fibrous proteins, like collagen,...

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
