“…Furthermore, the mechanical force also plays a crucial role in the growth and metastasis of tumor cells [ 13 ]. The mechano-sensitive proteins, such as integrins, selectins, and other transmembrane receptors/ligands, have been reported to have the force-induced changes of conformations and functions [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]; these changes will enhance or reduce subsequent transmembrane signaling, cell–cell interactions, and cellular biological processes [ 19 , 22 , 23 ]. It hints that a force-dependent interaction between DNAM-1 and CD155 may be required in mediating the involved cellular events in mechano-microenvironment, such as substrate rigidity, blood vessel extension, blood flow shear force, and so on [ 19 , 24 , 25 ].…”
