Ovarian cancer: involvement of the matrix metalloproteinases.
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. One of the reasons for the high mortality rate associated with ovarian cancer is its late diagnosis, which often occurs after the cancer has metastasized throughout the peritoneal cavity. Cancer metastasis is facilitated by the remodeling of the extracellular tumor matrix by a family of proteolytic enzymes known as the ...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in ovarian function.
Growth and ovulation of follicles, and development, maintenance, and regression of the corpus luteum depend on cyclical remodelling of the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix consists of proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous components and provides the tissue-specific, extracellular architecture to which cells attach, and modulates the activities of cells through cell surface receptors...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases in cancer.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) holds cells together and maintains the three-dimensional structure of the body. It also plays critical roles in cell growth, differentiation, survival and motility. For a tumour cell to metastasize from the primary tumour to other organs, it must locally degrade ECM components that are the physical barriers for cell migration. The key enzymes responsible for ECM b...
