MMP1, 2, 3, 7, and 9 Gene Polymorphisms and Urinary Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Background: The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of highly conserved, metal-dependent proteolytic enzymes that play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Many studies have been carried out on the association between polymorphisms in the MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, and MMP9 genes and urinary cancer risk. However, the data from these published studies are conflicting and have low statistical power. Methods: In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of 12 different publications from the P… Show more

“…Among them, MMP2 primarily hydrolyzes type IV collagen, the major structural component of the basement membrane [ 44 ]. Many studies have verified that MMP2 is critical in mediating BC invasion [ 36 , 45 ], but the maintenance of MMP2 abundance has not been well studied. Based on our results here, overexpression of PHLPP2 significantly decreases MMP2 protein level, which is known to regulate BC cell invasion.…”

“…MMPs are zinc metalloproteases that degrade ECM collagens, which are important in tissue remodeling and repair during development and inflammation [ 19 ]. Among the MMP genes, gelatinase A, encoded by the MMP2 gene, has been specifically correlated to tumor pathogenesis [ 20 , 21 ]. Furthermore, the MMP2 promoter contains several cis-acting regulatory elements, which modulate MMP2 expression through transcription factors, such as p53 and Sp1 [ 22 , 23 ].…”

“…15 These results are the opposite to the previously mentioned Asian based metaanalysis. 14 According to the db SNP and HapMap data on rs243865 frequency in genetically different populations, the C allele is more common in Caucasian populations. That can perhaps contribute to the different results in different studied populations.…”
