Timp‐2 binding with cellular MT1‐MMP stimulates invasion‐promoting MEK/ERK signaling in cancer cells
23 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Both invasion-promoting MT1-MMP and its physiological inhibitor TIMP-2 play a significant role in tumorigenesis and are identified in the most aggressive cancers. Despite its antiproteolytic effects in vitro, clinical data suggest that TIMP-2 expression is positively associated with tumor recurrence, thus emphasizing the wide-ranging role of TIMP-2 in malignancies. To shed light on this role of TIMP-2, we report...
