Abstract excerpt
The membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) has been reported to mediate the activation of pro-gelatinase A (proMMP-2), which is associated with tumor proliferation and metastasis. MT1-MMP can also digest extracellular matrix (ECM) such as interstitial collagens, gelatin, and proteoglycan and thus may play an important role in pathophysiological digestion of ECM. We studied the inhibitory effect of...
