## Abstract The best established proteolytic event of osteoclasts is bone matrix solubilization by the cysteine proteinase cathepsin K. Here, however, we draw the attention on osteoclastic activities depending on matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We discuss the observations supporting that MMPs con
## Abstract We confirmed the expression of cathepsin K, the most abundant and specific cysteine protease found in osteoclasts, at the mRNA level in most of our cases of breast cancer, and even at the protein level in bone metastatic lesions. Therefore, we investigated the functions of cathepsin K i
