Induction of matrix metalloproteinase gene transcription by nitric oxide and mechanisms of MMP‐1 gene induction in human melanoma cell lines
26 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Expression of 12 matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) after exposure of human melanoma cell lines C32TG and Mewo to nitric oxide (NO) was investigated by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Expression of the mRNA of MMP-1, -3, -10 and -13 in C32TG cells was transcriptionally enhanced in a dose-dependent manner by exposure to an NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) and mRNA expression...
