Metalloproteinases and their roles in human cancer

Abstract: It is now widely appreciated that members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of enzymes play a key role in cancer development and progression along with many of the hallmarks associated with them. The activity of these enzymes has been directly implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling, the processing of growth factors and receptors, the modulation of cell migration, proliferation, and invasion, the epithelial to mesenchymal transition, the regulation of immune responses, and the control of angio… Show more

“…This is apparently derived from shedding at the cell surface of epithelial and/or stromal cells. Syndecans are exquisitely sensitive to a number of proteinases, notably MMPs, and there are many instances of upregulated MMP expression in tumor progression [65,66]. A "hot spot" for MMP cleavage of syndecan-1 (and other syndecans) lies in a membrane proximal region.…”

“…We hypothesized that upon transcytosis through the brain endothelium, breast cancer-derived EVs can change the behavior of astrocytes to prepare a microenvironment supportive of tumor cell growth. It is widely acknowledged that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their endogenous inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), can contribute to tumor progression and metastasis [28][29][30][31]. Through modulating the ECM, these enzymes and their inhibitors can trigger different signaling pathways and promote the tumor-supporting microenvironment [5,32].…”

“…Cancer cells go through epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) before migrating to distant sites of the body. During the EMT process, expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is increased to mediate degradation and reorganization of extracellular matrix and their elevated activation is associated with tumor growth, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis [30]. ROS play a significant role in the EMT process in which they regulate the expression of MMPs and their inhibitors tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) [31].…”
