| Research Abstract |
Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MT1-MMP) is closely associated with tumor, inflammatory diseases and so on. To explore the function of MT1-MMP in these diseases, we developed expression cloning strategy to identify novel substrates for it, and identified following substrates.
1. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is involved in not only lipoprotein clearance but also cell regulatory functions that prevent vascular disease. We identified ApoE as a substrate for MT1-MMP. Cleavage of ApoE by MT1-MMP may abrogate suppression of growth and migration of smooth muscle cells by ApoE, and contribute to the stimulation of tissue remodeling.
2. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) was shown to be cleaved by MT1-MMP and brain-specific MT3-MMP and MT5-MMP within a beta peptide sequence, and the cytoplasmid domain was shed into culture medium. Although these MT-MMPs are alpha secretases, synthesis of beta amyloid peptide was not reduced by them. These results suggest that beta amyloid peptide may not be generated on cell surface.
3. MT1-MMP was shown to cleave the mature form of a TGF beta family member GDF15/MIC-1 at Asn252-Met253 peptide bond and inactivate cytokine activity. GDF15 suppressed tumor cell growth by inducing phosphorylation of p53 and synthesis of p21. Thus, cleavage of GDF15 by MT1-MMP abrogated growth suppression of tumor cells. These results suggested that combination therapy of GDF15 and MMP inhibitor may have potent growth inhibitory effect on tumor cells.
