Tumor progression and metastasis to secondary sites depend on the ability of a primary tumor to activate adaptive responses to overcome cellular stresses encountered within the original tumor microenvironment (TME) and during the metastatic process. These adaptive responses drive phenotypic changes with distinct functionality to enable tumor progression and metastasis. Why some cancer cells become stress tolerant and develop a metastatic phenotype, while other cancer cells with similar genetic backgrounds from the same tumor do not, remains a critical unanswered biological question. Tumor cells call upon a variety of skills to successfully colonize a secondary tumor site, including epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), stress tolerance, immune evasion, and manipulation of the microenvironment [1]. Accordingly, metastatic events can only be executed by a small subpopulation of cells within the tumor. Despite the functional uniqueness of this metastatic subpopulation, genomic studies have reported that the genetic heterogeneity of tumors located at secondary tumor sites is highly conserved with respect to their primary tumor site [2]. Thus, the metastatic potential of metastasis initiating cells is not necessarily driven by the acquisition of new mutations, but rather can be stimulated through dramatic changes in their transcriptional programs. We postulate that cellular stresses intrinsic to the TME induce these metastatic programs.One area of focus in the Cheresh laboratory is to better understand the cellular processes leading to the activation of metastasis initiating cell properties. Previous work identified expression of the cell surface receptor integrin αvβ3 as both necessary and sufficient for inducing metastatic cell properties, including tumor initiation, stress tolerance, and stemness [3]. Indeed, integrin αvβ3 is a widely accepted marker for tumor cells that have undergone EMT. Congruent with the metastatic subpopulation paradigm, αvβ3 is not normally expressed on non-metastatic epithelial cancer cells, but its expression can be induced by extracellular cues to drive a metastatic phenotype. Mechanistically, selective expression of αvβ3 on drug-resistant cancer cells in both humans and mice was associated with the ability of αvβ3 to activate the
