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

Small leucine‐rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are key modulators of extracellular matrix structure and signaling. Their proteolytic processing by MMPs (Matrix Metalloproteinases), ADAMTS (disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin motifs), and serine proteases generates bioactive fragments that regulate collagen remodeling, inflammation, and ...

ABSTRACT Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are indispensable for triggering pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression. However, the specific biological processes and mechanisms by which circRNAs influence PDAC remain largely unknown. Here, we reported that circFOXP1 is a critical promoter of PDAC progression, exhibiting marked upregulation in patient ...
