Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

RAB4A acts as a negative feedback regulator of extracellular vesicle secretion during TGF‐β signaling

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
TGF‐β signaling regulates extracellular vesicle (EV) release in cancer cells by modulating the expression and activity of genes associated with EV biogenesis. The TGF‐β‐induced upregulation of RAB4A expression facilitates fast endosomal recycling, a process that limits the fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane and EV secretion. Hence,

Membrane‐type I metalloproteinase (MT1‐MMP): A key modifier of extracellular matrix microenvironment

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
MT1‐MMP: A cellular microenvironment modifier. MT1‐MMP is a major cellular microenvironment modifier, maintaining collagen homeostasis by degrading excess collagen (A), creating a migration path in motile cells such as cancer cells (B), modulating local microenvironmental signaling by cleaving transmembrane receptors (C), and destroying tissue ...
