Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Small Tumor Antigen Activates Matrix Metallopeptidase-9 Gene Expression for Cell Migration and Invasion

2020-03-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) small T antigen (sT) is the main oncoprotein for the development of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). MCC is a rare, clinically aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin with a high propensity for local, regional, and distant spread. The dysregulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has been implicated in multiple essential roles in the development of various ma...
