Erratum
The article by E. Baldi et al. (Endocrinology 144:16531655, 2003) contains a descriptive error. In two places,
3ß1 integrin is described, but
2ß1 integrin is meant. The corrected sentences are as follows: "In particular, androgens have been shown to down-regulate
6ß4 and
2ß1 integrins (4, 6), whereas they up-regulate the expression of the antiadhesion molecule MUC-1 (6).... In addition, the integrin
6ß4 is a key molecule in carcinoma cell invasion process, as it mediates traction forces on extracellular matrix (17), whereas
2ß1 is required for completeness of the metastasis process in PC cells because it mediates adhesion to bone matrix (18)." The authors regret the error.
