Genetic upregulation of matriptase‐2 reduces the aggressiveness of prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo and affects FAK and paxillin localisation
30 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
The cellular function and the role of matriptase-2 in cancer progression are poorly understood. This study assesses the importance of this protease in prostate cancer cell lines. Two prostate cancer cell lines, PC-3 and DU-145, previously displaying minimal expression of matriptase-2, were forced to over-express matriptase-2 using a human mammalian expression construct. Over-expression of matriptase-2...
