In colorectal cancer, matrilysin (matrix metalloproteinase-7) is mainly produced by the tumor cells themselves and is thought to play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. In the study reported here, we examined the effects of matrilysin antisense phosphorothioate oligonucleotides on b

β¦ Synopsis
Matrilysin is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase gene family. which is believed to play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. We examined the effects of over-and under-expression of matrilysin on the ability of colon cancer cells to migrate across an artificial membrane in vitro. Introduction of matrilysin caused colon cancer cells to become more invasive as assessed by an in vitro invasion assay. In contrast, expression of matrilysin was down-regulated by all transretinoic acid or by introduction of anti-sense matrilysin in BM3 14 colon cancer cells. This down-regulation caused these

Human colon cancer frequently develops liver metastasis. Matrilysin (MMP-7), the smallest member of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family, is commonly produced by human colon carcinoma cells and has been suggested to be involved in the progression and metastasis of this type of cancer. In the pr
The gene product of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) has been implicated in the suppression of breast cancer invasion. We previously reported that SYK expression is lost in a subset of breast cancer; primarily by methylation-mediated gene silencing. In our study, we explored the possibility of using a D
## Abstract Dauricine, a bioactive component of Asiatic Moonseed Rhizome, has been widely used to treat a large number of inflammatory diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. In our study, we demonstrated that dauricine inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation and invasion, and induced apoptosis
Investigations of the mechanisms of the cancer-preventive activity of apigenin (4',5,7,-trihydroxyflavone), a plant-derived, anti-carcinogenic flavonoid, showed its interference with cell proliferation, survival, and gap junctional coupling. We used a model based on non-invasive HeLa wild-type cells
