PLOD2 Is Essential to Functional Activation of Integrin β1 for Invasion/Metastasis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas

Summary: Identifying the specific functional regulator of integrin family molecules in cancer cells is critical because they are directly involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here we report high expression of PLOD2 in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and its critical role as a sta...
