## Abstract We and others have shown a persistently high induction of Fraβ1 transcription factor (a dimeric partner of APβ1) levels by respiratory carcinogens in pulmonary epithelial cells. Fraβ1 is frequently overexpressed in various human tumors and cancer cells. We have recently shown that Fraβ1
Collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)) degrades the extracellular matrix and enhances the invasive phenotype of tumor cells. v-src activated MMP-1 transcription through a series of elements in the proximal promoter, including the E2BP (nt-172), polyoma virus enhancer A3 (PEA3) (nt -94),
