Abstract

Background: αvβ3 binds to IGF1, and the αvβ3-IGF1- IGF1R complex is formed in non-transformed cells. Results: IGF1 induces signals with the complex formation in anchorage independence. IGF1R or Src inhibitors did not suppress the complex formation. Conclusion: αvβ3-ECM interaction is not required for IGF signaling. The complex formation occurs before IGF1R activation. Significance: This study identifies new therapeutic targets in IGF signaling.
