Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the prognostic value of integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain in patients with cervical cancer (CC). Materials & methods: The study included 96 samples. Cytological diagnosis, human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping, HPV integration status and integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain expressions were performed or determined using Papanicolaou smear, INNO-LiPA® Genotyping Extra Kit, in situ hybridization, and immunocytochemistry, respectively. The association between variables was calculated using chi-squared and Fisher's exact test; logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios and CI at 95%. Results: Our results show that integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain expressions increase according to tumor progression. Integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain expressions are associated with cytological diagnosis (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively) and laminin γ1 chain expression with the integration status of HPV (p < 0.001). Moderate/high expressions of integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain were correlated with overall survival and increased risk of CC (6.86 and 3.75, respectively), the odds ratio was 12.91 when the moderate/high expression of integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain were combined. Conclusion: Our results suggest that integrin subunit β1 and laminin γ1 chain expressions could be a prognostic biomarker in CC.

Laminins are the Adhesive Proteins of Basal Lamina
In humans, the five forms of alpha chains are LAMA 1, LAMA 2, LAMA 3, LAMA 4, and LAMA 5. The four forms of beta chains are LAMB 1, LAMB 2, LAMB 3, and LAMB 4. The three forms of gamma...

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,...
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...
