    Joji Iida
    Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, and University of Minnesota Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA
    J Invest Dermatol 122:167-76. 2004
    ..The results suggest a more general role for elevated MT1-MMP in promoting both the selective invasion and increased growth of malignant melanoma in vivo...

    Jianbo Yang
    University of Minnesota, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, 312 Church St SE, Room 7 124 BSBE, Minneapolis, MN 55406, USA
    J Cell Biol 165:881-91. 2004
    ..These results indicate that MCSP may facilitate primary melanoma progression by enhancing the activation of key signaling pathways important for tumor invasion and growth...
  3. ncbi Expression of collagenase-1 (MMP-1) promotes melanoma growth through the generation of active transforming growth factor-beta
    Joji Iida
    Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Minnesota, Comprehensive Cancer Center, Minneapolis 55455, USA
    Melanoma Res 17:205-13. 2007
    ..Thus, these results suggest that MMP-1 produced from melanoma cells would play a role in tumor progression by both degrading matrix proteins and generating active growth factors such as TGF-beta in vivo...
  4. ncbi Hyaluronan mediates adhesion of metastatic colon carcinoma cells
    Chad Laurich
    Department of Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
    J Surg Res 122:70-4. 2004
    ..These data suggest that HA promotes adhesion to laminin and may thereby facilitate invasion of the basement membrane and metastasis in colon carcinoma...
  5. ncbi Cell surface chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan in melanoma: role in the activation of pro-MMP-2 (pro-gelatinase A)
    Joji Iida
    Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
    Biochem J 403:553-63. 2007
    ..These results suggest that C4S, which is expressed on tumour cell surface, can function to bind to pro-MMP-2 and facilitate its activation by MT3-MMP-expressing tumour cells to enhance invasion and metastasis...
  6. ncbi Hyaluronan facilitates invasion of colon carcinoma cells in vitro via interaction with CD44
    Hyeong-Rok Kim
    Department of Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
    Cancer Res 64:4569-76. 2004
    ..Anti-CD44 antibody impaired invasion into Matrigel by 95%. Taken together, these data suggest that pericellular HA is critical for colon carcinoma cell invasion and that this invasive capability is dependent on interaction with CD44...
