Gamma-irradiation induces matrix metalloproteinase II expression in a p53-dependent manner
1 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteinases that degrade the basement membrane and have been implicated in promoting tumor metastasis. MMP-2, one member of this family, was recently found to be a p53 target and subject to p53 upregulation. In this study, we examined the correlation between the expression of MMP-2 and the increased expression of p53 after gamma-irradiation. Three human...
