The Trinity of Matrix Metalloproteinases, Inflammation, and Cancer: A Literature Review of Recent Updates

Abstract: Background: The critical link between cancer and inflammation has been known for many years. This complex network was further complexed by revealing the association of the matrix metalloproteinase family members with inflammatory cytokines, which are previously known to be responsible for the development of metastasis. This article summarizes the current studies which evaluate the relationship between cancer and inflammatory microenvironment as well as the roles of MMPs on invasion and metastasis together.

“…Consequent functional enrichment analysis of these four modules unveiled connections to pathways related to esophageal cancer progression, multiple research studies corroborate with these findings. Specifically, Module 1 has shown significant connections to translational elongation and ribosomal functions ( Figure 4A ; Temaj et al, 2022 ), Module 2 is linked to histone function, activation of matrix metalloproteinases, and interferon signaling ( Figure 4B ; Jiao et al, 2014 ; Mittal et al, 2016 ; Ozkan and Bakar-Ates, 2020 ), Module 3 is primarily associated with mRNA regulation ( Figure 4C ; Teng et al, 2022 ), and Module 4 is chiefly related to chemokine activity ( Figure 4D ; Nicolau-Neto et al, 2018 ). Each of these modules seems to have a unique role in the progression of esophageal cancer.…”

“…Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex macromolecule network which is composed of fibers, proteoglycans, glycoproteins and polysaccharides [ 28 ], and plays a critical pole in the cell morphology, functions, migration, proliferation, differentiation and survival through signaling pathways. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), proteolytic enzymes of the ECM, are a zinc-dependent endopeptidase family mainly responsible for tissue remodeling in various physiological and pathological processes [ 29 ]. MMPs could degrade ECM proteins and glycoproteins, membrane receptors, cytokines, and growth factors.…”

“…Key approaches include the use of MMP inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents, such as corticosteroids and cytokine inhibitors (e.g. IL-6 inhibitor), and growth factors (TGF-β, vascular endothelial growth factor, and epidermal growth factor) that promote cell proliferation and repair of damaged lung tissues, which is essential for maintaining ECM integrity and restoring lung function [ 124 ].…”
