Localization of active MMP-2, secreted by stromal cells, to the cell surface of invasive cells by binding to αvβ3 integrin is necessary for invasive behaviour. Similar results relating to the importance of invasion, angiogenesis and TGF-β processing of tethering MMP-9 to the cell surface by binding to CD44 were reported in references 5 and 28.

Science 277, 225-228 (1997).

This cryptic site is detected in blood vessels from tumours but not normal tissue.

Shows, together with reference 95, that active MMP-3 changes the phenotype of mammary epithelial cells to mesenchymal-like cells, and that the E-cadherin-β-catenin complex is involved in this regulation. Expression of an MMP, even when expressed only in the early stages of cancer development, is also sufficient to initiate tumour formation.

In a transgenic mouse model of skin cancer, the reduced carcinogenesis in mice that are deficient for MMP9 can be completely restored by bone-marrow transplantation of MMP9-expressing cells. Tumours that arise in the absence of MMP9 are of a more advanced stage than those that arise in wild-type mice.
