## Abstract MT1βMMP (membrane type 1βmatrix metalloproteinase) plays important roles in cell growth and tumor invasion via mediating cleavage of MMP2/gelatinase A and a variety of substrates including type I collagen. BSTβ2 (bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2) is a membrane tetherin whose expressio
## Abstract Tumor progress depends on the proliferation of cancer cells, their interactions with stroma and the proteolytic action of enzymes. Colon cancer is cβkit positive and responsive to the specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib. We investigated the effect of imatinib on the proliferatio
Enhanced expression of the type IV collagenases MMP-2 and MMP-9, or lack of their inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, has been associated with tumour invasion and metastatic potential in several experimental models. Regulation of enzyme activity is clearly a key step in tumour invasion, and recently a pot
