alpha(v)beta(3) integrin was investigated in multiple myeloma in relation to the in vitro osteoclast-like activity of malignant plasma cells. Myeloma cells from patients with skeleton involvement overexpressed alpha(v)beta(3) and produced erosion pits on bone substrates, whereas this effect was not observed by cells from patients with no evidence of bone disease. We therefore explored the alpha(v)beta(3) transcriptional pathway in the bone-resorbing cells. Silencing of beta(3) chain abrogated th ...[more]
