Matrix metalloproteinases: roles in cancer and metastasis.
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family of extracellular proteinases play roles in normal physiological processes as well as in multiple disease settings including cancer. The link between MMP activity and cancer was considered strong enough to warrant considerable investment in pharmacological inhibitors of MMPs as a potential therapeutic modality, however, multiple large-scale clinical tria...
متن کاملThe Extracellular Matrix, Matrix Metalloproteinases and their roles in Disease
Biomedical research is often thought to primarily focus upon the trillions of cells that make up the body. However just as study of the immune system cannot ignore the lymph in favor of blood, the extracellular matrix (ECM) cannot be ignored in favor of the cells. The ECM is a dynamic structure that acts as scaffolding substrate for cell adhesion, as well as a reservoir of various proteins, gro...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases: protective roles in cancer
The original notion that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) act as tumour and metastasis-promoting enzymes by clearing a path for tumour cells to invade and metastasize has been challenged in the last decade. It has become clear that MMPs are involved in numerous steps of tumour progression and metastasis, and hence are now considered to be multifaceted proteases. Moreover, more recent experiment...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases, Synaptic Injury, and Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system in which immune mediated damage to myelin is characteristic. For an overview of this condition and its pathophysiology, please refer to one of many excellent published reviews (Sorensen and Ransohoff, 1998; Weiner, 2009). To follow, is a discussion focused on the possibility that synaptic injury occurs in at least a subset of pa...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and cancer - roles in threat and therapy.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc dependent extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling endopeptidases having the ability to degrade almost all components of extracellular matrix and implicated in various physiological as well as pathological processes. Carcinogenesis is a multistage process in which alteration of the microenvironment is required for conversion of normal tissue t...
