Epithelial-mesenchymal signalling : role of matrix metalloproteinase-7
2004-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The gastric hormone gastrin not only regulates acid secretion, but also gene expression and the organisation of the gastric epithelium. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, an essential mechanism in maintaining the organisation of the gastric epithelium, and in cancer. Stromal proliferation is a commonfeature of many carcinomas, with myofibroblasts the predominan...
