We investigated whether proteasomes were involved in the invasiveness of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells. The migration of SCC cells through a gelatin-coated membrane was enhanced with tumor necrosis factor β£ (TNFβ£), which was strongly inhibited by a peptide aldehyde, N-acetyl-Leu-Leu-norle

## Background: The 5-year survival rate of patients with submucosal (sm) esophageal carcinoma continues to be much worse than that with intramucosal (m) lesions. the reasons are unclear, but matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and membrane type matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) are known to be invol
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) plays a crucial role in invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. Membrane type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP) was originally identified as an activator of MMP-2. Tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 (TIMP-2) was identified as an inhibitor of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP. However, TIMP-2 was report
## Abstract The mechanisms by which cβ__erb__Bβdependent signaling contribute to the invasive potential of HNSCC remain to be fully elucidated. We have previously shown that cβ__erb__B autocrine and/or paracrine stimulation upregulates MMPβ9 but has no effect on the related gelatinase, MMPβ2. BTC,
