Abstract excerpt
The expression of MMP-9 in rat embryo fibroblasts (REF) transformed with Ha-ras or with Ha-ras and v-myc is associated with metastatic behavior. In contrast, REF transformed with Ha-ras and the adenovirus E1A genes (E1A) are tumorigenic, do not release MMP-9 and are rarely metastatic. In this report, we establish that E1A expression results in decreased levels of MMP-9 mRNA in an Ha-ras and v-myc transformed cell...
