Trafficking of the membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase in ischemia and reperfusion: relation to interstitial membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase activity.
BACKGROUND The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contribute to regional remodeling after prolonged periods of ischemia and reperfusion (I/R), but specific MMP types activated during this process remain poorly understood. A novel class, the membrane-type MMPs (MT-MMPs), has been identified in the myocardium, but activity of these MMP types has not been assessed in vivo, particularly during I/R. ...
متن کاملOvarian carcinoma regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase through beta1 integrin.
Culturing DOV 13 ovarian carcinoma cells on three-dimensional collagen lattice but not on thin-layer collagen induces processing of promatrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 to a M(r) 62,000 form, suggesting that multivalent integrin aggregation may participate in proteinase regulation. To address the role of collagen-binding integrins in this event, we treated DOV 13 cells with soluble beta1 integri...
متن کاملMembrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase and cell migration.
Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is an integral membrane proteinase that performs processing of cell surface proteins and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Through these proteolytic events, MT1-MMP regulates various cellular functions, including ECM turnover, promotion of cell migration and invasion, and morphogenic responses to extracellular stimuli. MT1-M...
متن کاملMembrane Type I Matrix Metalloproteinase Usurps Tumor Growth Control Imposed by the Three-Dimensional Extracellular Matrix
Cancer cells are able to proliferate at accelerated rates within the confines of a three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) that is rich in type I collagen. The mechanisms used by tumor cells to circumvent endogenous antigrowth signals have yet to be clearly defined. We find that the matrix metalloproteinase, MT1-MMP, confers tumor cells with a distinct 3D growth advantage in vitro and...
متن کاملExpression of Membrane type 1-Matrix Metalloproteinase in Laryngeal Carcinoma
Cancer cell metastasis to distant organs is the major cause of death in cancer patients. Metastasis is a multistep process, and the initial step is considered to be the invasion of surrounding stromal tissue by cancer cell. The degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components is essential for tumor cells to invade surrounding tissue and to form metastatic colonies in other distant organs an...
