Abstract excerpt
Epilysin (MMP-28) is the newest member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. Although it is expressed in a number of tissues, no biological substrates or functions for this enzyme have been identified yet. We have expressed recombinant epilysin in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells and found that this resulted in stable and irreversible epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) accompanied by loss of cell...
