Matrix metalloproteinases at cancer tumor–host interface

Abstract: The increasing diversity in both substrates and functions of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) makes these enzymes central regulators in the complex tumor ecosystem composed of cancer cells and their microenvironment. In the majority of cancers, membrane-associated and extracellular proteases are mainly produced by host cells including inflammatory cells, endothelial cells, pericytes and fibroblasts. Recent data based on in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the relevance of these enzymes in multiple p… Show more

“…Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play critical roles in cell invasion. 21 We examined MMP activities by gelatin zymography on conditioned media with or without TSAHC treatment. MMP2 and MMP9 activities were higher in SNU449Tp cells compared to those in SNU449Cp cells.…”

“…16 However, it has been verified that these enzymes may also change cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration, not only by degrading the extracellular matrix but also by favoring the release of growth factors and the generation of certain cleavage fragments or functional proteins in this space. 17 Some MMPs are synthesized by tumor cells, such as MMP-7, while others are produced predominantly by stromal cells, including MMP-2 and 9. Tumor cells can also stimulate the surrounding stromal cells and synthesize these enzymes in a paracrine manner via the secretion of interleukins, interferons, EMMPRIN (extracellular inducer of MMPs), and growth factors.…”

“…To date, type I collagenolytic activity is confined to a small subset of proteinases belonging to either the cysteine proteinase or matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) families (BirkedalHansen, 1987;Nagase et al, 2006;Sabeh et al, 2009a). MMPs are zinc-dependent endopeptidases that play crucial roles in cancer progression (Noe¨l et al, 2008;Kessenbrock et al, 2010), not only by degrading physical ECM barriers, but also by regulating the processing of an increasing panel of molecular mediators of signaling events (Lopez-Otin and Hunter, 2010;Rodrı´guez et al, 2010). They thus represent the most prominent family of proteinases associated with tumorigenesis (Kessenbrock et al, 2010).…”
