The Behavior of Matrix Metalloproteinases and Their Inhibitors in Colorectal Cancer

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the degradation of extracellular matrix components crucial for tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. MMPs are controlled by natural inhibitors called tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). We and others have demonstrated that MMPs and TIMPs are especially important in the process of tumor invasion, progression and the metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). It has been proposed that MMPs and TIMPs might play a part not only in tumor invasion … Show more

“…Additionally, the impact of TIMPs is fundamental to the homeostasis of the ECM, because of TIMPs' ability to control the interaction of cells via adhesion and signaling molecules such as growth factors. The significance of TIMPs as signaling molecules in their own right is only just beginning to be reported [9,33].…”

“…A disruption of the balance between the concentration of active metalloproteinases and their inhibitors may lead to pathological changes associated with uncontrolled ECM turnover, tissue remodeling, inflammatory response, cell growth and migration [3,9,30]. Additionally, the impact of TIMPs is fundamental to the homeostasis of the ECM, because of TIMPs' ability to control the interaction of cells via adhesion and signaling molecules such as growth factors.…”

“…VEGF could induce endothelial cells to secrete cathepsin, including metal matrix protein enzymes, leading to degradate ECM and mediate endothelial cell migration. In addition, MMP-2 can not only degradate ECM, but also accelerate the growth of vascular endothelial cells from gap to the outside to gradually extend vascular bud in the process of new blood vessels (Herszenyi et al, 2012). Thus, metal matrix protein enzymes can promote the expression of VEGF and the formation of tumor blood vessels to promote the invasiveness of tumor cells.…”
