| Cell Type | OVHS1 | HEY | ||
| Integrin subunit | Monolayer (MIF) | Spheroid day 4 (MIF) | Monolayer (MIF) | Spheroid day 4 (MIF) |
| α2 | 509 ± 47 | 735 ± 41* | 625 ± 40 | 886 ± 22* |
| α3 | 932 ± 60 | 905 ± 99 | 1107 ± 108 | 912 ± 112 |
| αv | 96 ± 1 | 114 ± 5 | 125 ± 14 | 120 ± 10 |
| α6 | 661 ± 93 | 151 ± 18* | 418 ± 45 | 208 ± 20* |
| β1 | 1302 ± 205 | 1340 ± 44 | 1224 ± 123 | 1072 ± 8 |
Values are expressed as mean intensity of fluorescence (MIF)
± SEM of three different readings obtained from independent experiments.
*Significantly different from cells growing as a monolayer (p < 0.05).
