Role of microRNA-mediated MMP regulation in the treatment and diagnosis of malignant tumors
20 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis and contribute to tumor growth, angiogenesis, migration, and invasion primarily via extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and/or the activation of pre-pro-growth factors. Recently, there has been considerable interest in the posttranscriptional regulation of MMPs via microRNAs (miRs). In this review, we highlight the...
