“…We show that LOX mRNA is upregulated in cells on aged matrices compared to young, and when it is knocked down, E‐CAD in cells on the aged matrix is re‐localized to cell membrane. Remarkably, cytokine levels in the aged microenvironment, especially the uPA/uPAR mediators uPA, [ 59 ] uPAR, SERPINE1, [ 60 , 61 ] ANG, [ 62 ] and OPN, [ 63 , 64 ] as well as the IL1 family [ 65 , 66 ] and IL8, [ 67 ] TGF β family, [ 68 ] MMP2, [ 69 , 70 ] which largely affect cell behavior, including proliferation, migration, and differentiation, as well as cancer progression, [ 71 ] are reduced to the young matrix levels after LOX knockdown.…”
