TLDR
Overexpression of this bone metastasis gene set is superimposed on a poor-prognosis gene expression signature already present in the parental breast cancer population, suggesting that metastasis requires a set of functions beyond those underlying the emergence of the primary tumor.About:

Matrix Metalloproteinases: Regulators of the Tumor Microenvironment
TL;DR: In addition to their role in extracellular matrix turnover and cancer cell migration, MMPs regulate signaling pathways that control cell growth, inflammation, or angiogenesis and may even work in a nonproteolytic manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Perspective on Cancer Cell Metastasis
TL;DR: It is suggested that metastasis can be portrayed as a two-phase process: the first phase involves the physical translocation of a cancer cell to a distant organ, whereas the second encompasses the ability of the cancer cellto develop into a metastatic lesion at that distant site.

TL;DR: A mechanistic link between Twist, EMT, and tumor metastasis is established, suggesting that Twist contributes to metastasis by promoting an epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exosomes from mouse and human lung-, liver- and brain-tropic tumour cells fuse preferentially with resident cells at their predicted destination, namely lung fibroblasts and epithelial cells, liver Kupffer cells and brain endothelial cells.

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis on primary breast tumours of 117 young patients is used and supervised classification is applied to identify a gene expression signature strongly predictive of a short interval to distant metastases (‘poor prognosis’ signature) in patients without tumour cells in local lymph nodes at diagnosis, providing a strategy to select patients who would benefit from adjuvant therapy.

TGF-beta signal transduction.
TL;DR: The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of growth factors control the development and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms and mutations in these pathways are the cause of various forms of human cancer and developmental disorders.

TL;DR: It is shown that the MMPs have functions other than promotion of invasion, have substrates other than components of the extracellular matrix, and that they function before invasion in the development of cancer.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: Inhibition of the growth of metastases in secondary sites offers a promising approach for cancer therapy and could help to improve the treatment of metastatic disease.
