Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor blockade reduces the invasiveness of gastrointestinal cancers via blocking production of matrilysin.
Insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) signaling is required for carcinogenicity and proliferation of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. We have previously shown significant therapeutic activity for recombinant adenoviruses expressing dominant-negative insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR/dn), including suppression of tumor invasion. In this study, we sought to evaluate the mechani...
متن کاملContribution of matrilysin (MMP-7) to the metastatic pathway of human colorectal cancers.
BACKGROUND/AIM Matrilysin is one of the matrix metalloproteinases that has a critical role in tumour invasion, and is often expressed in gastrointestinal cancers. The aim of this study was to examine the role of matrilysin in metastasis of human colorectal cancers. PATIENTS (SUBJECTS)/METHODS: The relation between matrilysin expression and Dukes's type was investigated immunohistochemically in ...
متن کاملInterleukin-1beta-induced promatrilysin expression is mediated by NFkappaB-regulated synthesis of interleukin-6 in the prostate carcinoma cell line, LNCaP.
Previously, our laboratory showed that interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) secreted by lipopolysaccharide-activated monocytes induces promatrilysin expression in the prostate carcinoma cell line, LNCaP. We now demonstrate that IL-1beta-induced promatrilysin expression is mediated by an indirect mechanism that requires nuclear factor Kappa B (NFkappaB)-dependent synthesis of IL-6. Inhibition of protein...
متن کاملTumour matrilysin expression predicts metastatic potential of stage I (pT1) colon and rectal cancers.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Nodal metastases are indisputable determinants of prognosis for colon and rectal cancer. Using classical histological criteria, many attempts to predict nodal metastasis have failed, preventing the adequate management of stage I (pT1) cancer. We investigated the role of tumour matrilysin in predicting metastatic potential, and discuss its potential use in individualising tre...
متن کاملAssociation of matrilysin-2 (MMP-26) expression with tumor progression and activation of MMP-9 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Expression of matrilysin-2, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-26, has been implicated in the progression of several types of human cancer. Matrilysin-2 has been reported to be a physiological and pathological activator of pro-MMP-9. The aim of this study was to examine matrilysin-2 expression and determine whether it is correlated with progression of human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)...
