Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Contributes to Cancer Cell Migration on Collagen
2005-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are central to tissue penetration by cancer cells, as tumors expand and form metastases, but the mechanism by which MMP-2 contributes to cancer cell migration is not well understood. In the present experiments, both a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor and the isolated collagen binding domain (CBD) from MMP-2 inhibited cell migration on native type I collagen. These results verif...
