TLDR
A shift in the MMP functional paradigm is highlighted, together with the difficulties associated with current methods of studying proteases this highlights the need for new high content degradomics approaches to uncover and annotate MMP activities in vivo and identify novel interactions within the protease web.

Extracellular matrix structure.

TL;DR: The complex ECM structure is emphasized as to provide a better understanding of its dynamic structural and functional multipotency and the implication of the various families of ECM macromolecules in health and disease is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological role of matrix metalloproteinases: a critical balance

TL;DR: Advancing the understanding of the MMP contribution to tissue homeostasis will lead to identify causal relationships between their dysregulation and the development of disease pathologies, thus guiding us to successful MMP-directed therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

New facets of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 as cell surface transducers: outside-in signaling and relationship to tumor progression.

TL;DR: The current status of gelatinase inhibitors as anticancer agents and their failure in the clinic is discussed in light of these new data on the gelatinases' roles as cell surface transducers - data that may lead to the design and development of novel, gelatinase-targeting inhibitors.

Pathophysiology of the brain extracellular matrix: a new target for remyelination

TL;DR: The pathophysiological roles of the brain's ECM, particularly those of CSPGs, after neural insults are highlighted and how the ECM can be targeted to promote remyelination is discussed.

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.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

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.

Quantitative analysis of complex protein mixtures using isotope-coded affinity tags

TL;DR: An approach for the accurate quantification and concurrent sequence identification of the individual proteins within complex mixtures based on isotope-coded affinity tags and tandem mass spectrometry is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiplexed Protein Quantitation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Using Amine-reactive Isobaric Tagging Reagents

TL;DR: It is found that inactivation of Upf1p and Xrn1p causes common as well as unique effects on protein expression, and the use of 4-fold multiplexing to enable relative protein measurements simultaneously with determination of absolute levels of a target protein using synthetic isobaric peptide standards.
Journal ArticleDOI

A metalloproteinase disintegrin that releases tumour-necrosis factor-α from cells

TL;DR: The results should facilitate the development of therapeutically useful inhibitors of TNF-α release, and they indicate that an important function of adamalysins may be to shed cell-surface proteins.
