Background
The avβ6 subunit was identified in epithelial cells and interacts with the fibronectin receptor integrin α5 (3,4). It is expressed during development, but expression becomes repressed in adulthood (5). It is involved in wound healing, fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis in particular, and tumorigenesis (6-8). When the dimer is unregulated in the membrane in response to injury, the integrin β6 subunit binds directly to an RGD motif present in fibronectin and TGF-β, both present in the extracellular matrix. Integrin β6 cleaves and binds the LAP fragment of latent TGF-β, thereby releasing active TGF-β into the ECM to activate myofibroblasts which consequently mediate ECM remodeling (6-8).
