| Research Abstract |
We screened new substrates for MT1-MMP, which plays an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis, and analyzed pathophysiologicanl significance of it. These studies demonstrated that cleavage and shedding of membrane proteins by MT1-MMP is quite unique. For example, cleavage of serine protease inhibitor Hepatocyte Growth Factor Activator Inhibitor-1 by MT1-MMP initiates protease activation cascade, which subsequently causes tissue destruction. We named it as protease storm.
