Selective function-blocking monoclonal human antibody highlights the important role of membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in metastasis. [PDF]
The invasion-promoting MT1-MMP is a cell surface-associated collagenase with a plethora of critical cellular functions. There is a consensus that MT1-MMP is a key protease in aberrant pericellular proteolysis in migrating cancer cells and, accordingly, a

Levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1 in gastric cancer
To evaluate the levels of preoperative serum matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) in gastric cancer.One hundred gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy were enrolled in this study. The serum concentrations of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in these patients and in fifty healthy controls were determined ...

Colorectal cancer is reported as the third most common case worldwide in men and accounts for 10% of all cancers. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that affect the degradation and remodeling of extracellular components and contribute to the three Hallmarks of cancer.

Oncostatin M-induced astrocytic tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 drives remyelination [PDF]
Significance The loss of myelin around axons is a main pathological hallmark of various neurological diseases. In early disease stages, this myelin sheath is restored through a process called remyelination. Later, remyelination fails and becomes the major driver of disease progression.
