## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) plays a critical role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Here, we investigate the effect of fibroblast growth factor‐1 (FGF‐1) on the expression of MMP‐9 in ENU1564, an ethyl‐__N__‐nitrosourea‐induced rat mammary adenocarcinoma cell line. We observed th
## Abstract Bradykinin (BK), an inflammatory mediator, has been shown to induce cytosolic phospholipase A~2~ (cPLA~2~) expression implicating in inflammatory responses in various cell types. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying BK‐induced cPLA~2~ expression in astrocytes remain unclear. RT‐P
## Abstract Macrophages under certain stimuli induce matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP‐9) expression and protein secretion through the activation of MAPK‐ERK and NF‐κB signaling pathways. Previously, we demonstrated that activated α~2~‐macroglulin (α~2~M\*) through the interaction with its receptor l
