The interactions between cancer cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate cancer progression. The beta(1C) and beta(1A) integrins, two cytoplasmic variants of the beta(1) integrin subfamily, are differentially expressed in prostate cancer. Using gene expression analysis, we show here that the beta(1C) variant, an inhibitor of cell proliferation, which is down-regulated in prostate cancer, up-regulates insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) mRNA and protein levels. In contrast, PIA does not affect IGF-II levels. We provide evidence that beta(1C)-mediated upregulation of IGF-II levels increases adhesion to Laminin-1, a basement membrane protein down-regulated in prostate cancer, and that the beta(1C) cytoplasmic domain contains the structural motif sufficient to increase cell adhesion to Laminin-1. This autocrine mechanism that locally supports cell adhesion to Laminin-1 via IGF-II is selectively regulated by the 01 cytoplasmic domain via activation of the growth factor receptor binding protein 2-associated binder-1/SH2-containing protein-tyrosine phosphatase 2/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway. Thus, the concurrent local loss of beta(1C) integrin, of its ligand Laminin-1, and of IGF-II in the tumor microenvironment may promote prostate cancer cell invasion and metastasis by reducing cancer cell adhesive properties. It is, therefore, conceivable that reexpression of beta(1C) will be sufficient to revert a neoplastic phenotype to a nonproliferative and highly adherent normal phenotype.
