Epigenetic regulation of matrix metalloproteinases and their collagen substrates in cancer
1 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Our review covers the recent epigenetic data that are focused on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), their inhibitors (tissue inhibitors of MMPs; TIMPs) and collagen substrates. Twenty-four MMPs, four TIMPs and at least 28 collagen types are known in humans. The MMP activity regulates the functionality of multiple extracellular matrix proteins, cytokines, growth factors and cell signaling and adhesion receptors....
