It is unknown how cues from the tumor microenvironment can regulate post-transcriptional mechanisms, such as alternative splicing, that control genes that drive malignant growth. The induction of cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2) by integrin α3β1 in breast cancer cells can promote tumor progression. We have used RNAi to suppress α3β1 in human MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and then investigated changes in global gene expression. Numerous mRNAs, including Cox-2, show altered expression and/or alternative ...[more]
