Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 2 | Overexpression of integrin β3 affects PAK1phosphorylation levels. When integrin β3 is overexpressed in HT1080 cells, mechanical stimulation produces an increase in p-PAK1 levels, which suggests that integrin β3 signaling is required for the activation of PAK1. The empty vector represents cells that have been mock transfected using GFP plasmid. ∗P < 0.05 by the Student’s t-test; n = 3. Error bars represent the SEM.
