Brg-1 Is Required for Maximal Transcription of the Human Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Gene
18 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc-dependent endopeptidases whose aberrant expression are correlated with tumor invasion and angiogenesis. The transcription factors Sp1, Sp3, and AP-2 are required for constitutive expression of MMP-2 in tumor cells; however, the regulatory mechanisms of MMP-2 expression are not well understood. We investigated the involvement of Brg-1, the ATPase subunit of the SWI/SNF...
