In cultured cells some of the integrin subunits (β<sub>1</sub>, α<sub>1</sub>, α<sub>2</sub> and α<sub>5</sub>) colocalize with talin at focal adhesions when plated on an appropriate ligand. Similarly, in tissues the polarization of β<sub>1</sub>-integrins in colocalization with talin appears to indicate adhesive complexes, as demonstrated in adult glomeruli. In human kidney, the α subunits of integrins were seen to be segment-specifically expressed already in fetal tissues. In glomeruli the integrin α<sub>1</sub> subunit characterized mesangial cells while the α<sub>2</sub> and α<sub>3</sub> subunits showed immunoreactivity in endothelial cells and podocytes, respectively. In renal tubuli, the α<sub>6</sub> subunit, complexed with the β<sub>1</sub> subunit, showed a typical polarized distribution coaligning with the tubular basement membrane while the α<sub>3</sub> and α<sub>2</sub> subunits were expressed in distal tubular cells. These results suggested that in kidney the α<sub>2</sub>β<sub>1</sub>, α<sub>3</sub>β<sub>1</sub>, and α<sub>6</sub>β<sub>1</sub> integrins can function as basement membrane receptors. The α<sub>5</sub> subunit was nearly lacking in the kidney and it appears to be mainly expressed in some smooth muscle cells. In other tissues distinct patterns in the expression of integrins were found. Thus, in many glandular epithelial cells the α<sub>3</sub>β<sub>1</sub> integrin appeared to function as a basement membrane receptor while in various stratified epithelia and in the breast such a polarized localization could be found for the α<sub>6</sub>β<sub>4</sub> integrin. Finally, although presenting a clearly polarized distribution for β<sub>1</sub> integrins, none of the α subunits could be found in cardiac or skeletal muscle cells and none of the integrins could be revealed in neuronal cells of human developing and adult cerebrum or cerebellum, although neurons in peripheral tissues contained abundantly the α<sub>6</sub>β<sub>1</sub> integrin complex. In human tumors, the tumor cells, including also metastastatic tumors, generally presented the same integrins as their tissues of origin.
