We used a syngeneic model in which Fermt1 had been deleted in the Met-1 murine breast cancer cell line (Kin1-NULL) and to which either wild type Kindlin1 (Kin1-WT), or a mutant that is unable to bind β-integrin (Kin1-AA) were reintroduced (Sarvi et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene FERMT1 and breast cancer.
