New functions for the matrix metalloproteinases in cancer progression

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.

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.

MT1-MMP-Deficient Mice Develop Dwarfism, Osteopenia, Arthritis, and Connective Tissue Disease due to Inadequate Collagen Turnover

TL;DR: The findings demonstrate the pivotal function of MT1-MMP in connective tissue metabolism, and illustrate that modeling of the soft connective tissues matrix by resident cells is essential for the development and maintenance of the hard tissues of the skeleton.

Multi-step pericellular proteolysis controls the transition from individual to collective cancer cell invasion

TL;DR: Both ECM track widening and transition to multicellular invasion are dependent on MT1-MMP-mediated collagenolysis, shown by broad-spectrum protease inhibition and RNA interference, and invasive migration and proteolytic ECM remodelling are interdependent processes that control tissue micropatterning and macrop atterning.
