摘要

Proteolytic Events at the cell surface are of great interest in tumour biology due to their potential to regulate various cellular functions like cell migration. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) constitute a family of zinc dependant endopeptidases which can hydrolyse almost all components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). This allows tumour cells to migrate to their secondary sites of growth via blood and lymphatic vessels. MMPs have been implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis and increased MMP expression and activity has been demonstrated in many human tumours. MMPs can be classified into 5 subgroups according to their structures and substrate specificities:-collagenases, gelatinases, stromelysins, membrane-type MMPs and a heterogenous group composed of the other MMPs. Membrane -type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs) are a group of membrane anchored MMPs which possess a unique feature not found in other MMPs - a membrane spanning domain. MT1-MMP (MMP-14) was the first membrane-anchored MMP to be identified. It was cloned by Sato et al(1994). Subsequently, five other MT-MMPs have been identified - MT2-MMP (MMP-15), MT3-MMP (MMP-16), MT4-MMP (MMP-17), MT5-MMP (MMP-24) and MT6-MMP (MMP-25). MT1-MMP is the best studied and the most characterized among the MT-MMPs. Hence the following discussion shall concentrate mainly on its properties with some reference to the other members of the MT-MMP family.
