Cell surface-localized matrix metalloproteinase-9 proteolytically activates TGF-β and promotes tumor invasion and angiogenesis

Qin Yu , Ivan Stamenkovic

We have uncovered a novel functional relationship between the hyaluronan receptor CD44, the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and the multifunctional cytokine TGF-β in the cont...

Localization of matrix metalloproteinase 9 to the cell surface provides a mechanism for CD44-mediated tumor invasion

Qin Yu , Ivan Stamenkovic

The cell surface hyaluronan receptor CD44 promotes tumor growth and metastasis by mechanisms that remain poorly understood. We show here that CD44 associates with a proteolytic ...
