## Abstract Activations of MMPβ2 and membrane type 1βmatrix metalloproteinase (MT1βMMP) have been correlated with cell migration, a key cellular event in the wound healing and tissue remodeling. We have previously demonstrated furinβdependent MMPβ2 and MT1βMMP activations induced by type I collagen
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
