Wild-type p53 Inhibits Nuclear Factor-κB–Induced Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Promoter Activation: Implications for Soft Tissue Sarcoma Growth and Metastasis
1 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Human soft tissue sarcoma (STS) is a highly lethal malignancy in which control of metastasis determines survival. Little is known about the molecular determinants of STS dissemination. Here, we show that human STS express high levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and that MMP-9 expression levels correlate with sequence analysis-defined p53 mutational status. Reintroduction of wild-type p53 (wtp53) into...
