Matrix Metalloproteinase 26 Proteolysis of the NH2-Terminal Domain of the Estrogen Receptor β Correlates with the Survival of Breast Cancer Patients

Abstract: Estrogens have many cellular functions, including their interactions with estrogen receptors A and B (ERA and ERB). Earlier, we determined that the estrogen-ER complex stimulates the transcriptional activity of the matrix metalloproteinase 26 (MMP-26) gene promoter. We then determined that ERB is susceptible to MMP-26 proteolysis whereas ERA is resistant to the protease. MMP-26 targets the NH 2 -terminal region of ERB coding for the divergent NH 2 -terminal A/B domain that is responsible for the ligand-indepen… Show more

“…A second mechanism, by which MMPs might function as inhibitors of tumour progression, is via their ability to cleave cellsurface receptors. The proteolytic cleavage of the oestrogen receptor b by MMP-26 was recently demonstrated by Savinov et al (2006) and this correlated with longer survival in patients with breast cancer. Finally, increased MMP activity has been shown to disrupt or denature adhesion molecules such as E-cadherin, thereby instigating tumour regression (Simian et al, 2006).…”

“…23 MMP-26 expression is upregulated in dysplastic changes in prostatic tissue but downregulated in invasive cancer, 24 and in a similar manner it becomes downregulated during histological dedifferentiation of cutaneous SCCs 21 and spreading of ductal breast cancers. 25,26 MMP-26 expression has also been reported in invasive esophageal, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. 18,27,28 MMPs also have natural inhibitors called TIMPs.…”

“…The elevated expression of MMP-26 is correlated with myometrial invasion of endometrial carcinoma (17,19). MMP-26 also contributes to the local depth of invasion in breast carcinoma, prostate carci-noma and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (14,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). The expression of MMP-26 seems to be located in the invading cells.…”
