Abstract excerpt
E1AF is an ets-oncogene family transcription factor that has been shown to up-regulate multiple MMPs whereas MMP-2, a potent extracellular matrix degrading enzyme, is not up-regulated. We investigated the activation mechanism of MMP-2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) assay was utilized to investigate whether E1AF is able to up-regulate membrane type-1 matrix...
