Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases facilitate cell migration and tumor invasion through their ability to proteolyse the extracellular matrix. The laminin-binding integrin alpha3beta1 is expressed at high levels in squamous cell carcinomas and in normal keratinocytes during cutaneous wound healing. We showed previously that alpha3beta1 is required for MMP-9/gelatinase B secretion in immortalized mouse keratinocytes (MK...
