Integrin alpha V beta 5 (ITGAV & ITGB5) is expressed on a wide variety of cell types including keratinocytes, fibroblasts, adhesive monocytes, embryonic stem cells, and select endothelium and epithelium. ITGAV & ITGB5 binds ligands containing an RGD motif, notably vitronectin. Growth factors that increase PKC activity, such as VEGF or TGF alpha, promote ITGAV & ITGB5-mediated angiogenesis while alpha V beta 3, which may be expressed in the same cell, responds to FGF-basic and TNF alpha. An inhibitor of both down regulates tumor angiogenesis. During lung inflammation, up regulation of ITGAV & ITGB5 on myofibroblasts or infiltrating lymphocytes may contribute to fibrosis by freeing TGF beta from latency.
