Overexpression of ITGA2 promoted in vitro cancer cell aggressiveness and in vivo tumor growth through regulation of the phosphorylation of forkhead box O1 (FoxO1) and AKT phosphorylation, which provided the mechanism for ITGA2-mediated paclitaxel-resistance in ovarian cancer (Ma et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene ITGA2 and neoplasm.
