Abstract
A fibrosarcoma cell line transfected with the matrix metalloproteinase MT1 MMP showed an enhanced ability to degrade 14C-labelled collagen films. As previously shown for proMMP 2 activation, TIMP 1 was an ineffective inhibitor of the process of collagenolysis whereas TIMP 2 was efficient and completely prevented collagen degradation. In the presence of the calcium ionophore, ionomycin, proteolytic processing of MT1 MMP was restricted and collagenolysis did not occur indicating that the 63 kDa form of the enzyme is not a functional collagenase. The collagenolytic activity of MT1 MMP was shown to be enhanced by the addition of proMMP 2, but TIMP 1 inhibition remained poor relative to that of TIMP 2. The study demonstrated that synergy between two non-conventional collagenases effectively degrades insoluble pericellular collagen. Due to the membrane localisation of MT1 MMP, this could potentially occur in a highly localised manner.

Abstract
Cancer is generally viewed as the result of disrupted intra-and intercellular homeostatic regulation. Once the homeostatic balance is lost and malignant transformation has occurred, microenvironmental factors such as degradation of matrix components and host-tumor interactions are essential for survival and growth of malignant cells. Within the previous year, cadherins and matrixins (matrix metalloproteinases) have emerged as key factors in these processes. The pathways involved are interconnected and detailed knowledge about the biologic significance of each member in a given pathway is essential for our understanding of oncogenesis. Restoration of E-cadherin-mediated control over melanoma cells and modulation of the involved regulation pathways are promising novel therapeutic strategies. Another approach is the rational design of inhibitors that perturb matrix metalloproteinases in a particular cell type and interrupt tumor-specific proteinase activation cascades. Advances in these fields will lead to the development of better tools for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy.

Abstract
Keratinocyte migration is an absolute requirement for correct epithelialization during the process of wound healing. This process requires changes in extracellular matrix ligand expression as well as changes in ligand-binding affinity of the corresponding cellular integrins. In this study, we attempt to understand the role of laminin 5 in migration by investigating the integrin-mediated interactions of migrating keratinocytes with their newly synthesized laminin 5. We chose to induce migration of freshly isolated NHK in vitro by exposing them to TGF-beta1 which, in addition to promoting epithelial cell migration, is also known to prevent cell proliferation. This important feature allowed the study to be focused on cell migration without interfering with cell proliferation. We confirm that keratinocyte migration on plastic, fibronectin or collagen IV substrates requires endogenous laminin 5 deposition, which is predominantly detected under its unprocessed form. Despite a crucial role for laminin 5 in migration, we show that this process is accompanied by a significant decrease in adhesion to purified laminin 5. Moreover, we provide evidence that the alpha2beta1 integrin interaction with newly synthesized laminin 5 renders the cells more adherent and retards migration. Conversely, we provide evidence that the alpha2beta1 integrin-laminin 5 interaction is absolutely required for keratinocyte migration and that the alpha2beta1 integrin is responsible for cell spreading on laminin 5. Finally, we demonstrate that the alpha2beta1 integrin binding to laminin 5 occurs within the short arm of the gamma2 subunit.

Abstract
With oxidizing poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) surface by ozone, peroxide groups are easily generated on the surface. Those peroxides are broken down by redox-coupling reaction, and provide active species that initiate grafting by reaction with the collagen molecules. The surface density of generated peroxide on a PLLA surface was determined by an iodide method. The maximum concentration of peroxide was about 2.87 x 10(-8) mol/cm2 when ozone oxidation was performed at 60 V for 60 min. After the surface oxidation, type I atelocollagen was grafted onto PLLA surface. All physical measurements on the collagen-grafted surface indicated that the PLLA surface was effectively grafted with type I atelocollagen. Behavior of rat calvaria osteoblasts on type I atelocollagen grafted PLLA (PLLA + COL) surface was observed. Initial attachment of osteoblasts on the surface was significantly enhanced, and it is assumed that the atelocollagen matrix supported the initial attachment and growth of cells. Collagenous protein synthesis of osteoblasts was maintained at relatively low level in the early stage of proliferation due to the primarily existing grafted type I atelocollagen, and then increased in 7 days as the osteoblast differentiated. After 7 days, collagenous protein synthesis in osteoblasts was activated. Alkaline phosphatase (ALPase) activity and mineralization by osteoblasts were promoted on PLLA + COL surface. In comparison with PLLA + COL, non-treated PLLA and tissue culture plate (TCPS) did not show any feature expressed in osteoblasts' maturation up to 9 days in this experiment. The grafted type I atelocollagen provided a favorable matrix for cell migration in relation with collagenase expression. Ozone oxidation might be a favorable method for surface modification of PLLA membranes by collagen grafting, and cell behavior could be modulated by the grafted collagen.

Abstract
Chronic wound healing conditions are often observed in elderly patients with poor tissue oxygenation. Impaired re-epithelialization is a hallmark of these wounds, which is seen in both clinical studies and in our animal models of impaired healing. To investigate the pathogenic mechanism of chronic wounds, we studied the effect of hypoxia on migration of keratinocytes isolated from human donors of increasing age. Keratinocytes from elderly donors had depressed migratory activity when exposed to hypoxia, as opposed to an increase in migration in young cells. Analysis of underlying biochemical changes demonstrated a differential activation of matrix metalloproteinases by hypoxia in keratinocytes isolated from the young and the old. Matrix metalloproteinases-1 and -9 and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 were strongly upregulated by hypoxia in young cells, whereas no induction was observed in aged cells. Furthermore, transforming growth factor-beta 1 signaling appears to be involved in the keratinocyte differential response to hypoxia, as transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor was upregulated by hypoxia in young cells, while there was no induction in aged cells. Transforming growth factor-beta neutralizing reagents blocked hypoxia-induced matrix metalloproteinase-1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression, and hypoxia-induced cell migration as well. Our results suggest that an age-related decrease in response to hypoxia plays a crucial part in the pathogenesis of retarded re-epithelialization in wound.

Abstract
There is accumulating evidence of the critical role of tumor stroma in carcinoma development and progression. We have studied the significance of stromal components in regulating matrix metalloproteinases in different stages of human skin carcinogenesis using the HaCaT keratinocyte transformation model. Expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 and matrix metalloproteinase 13 was analyzed in nontumorigenic HaCaT cells and their c-Ha-ras-transformed tumorigenic clones, benign A-5 and malignant A-5RT3, in response to different matrices and cocultured fibroblasts as well as in transplants in nude mice. When cultured on a collagen type I gel, expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1 mRNA was induced in A-5 and A-5RT3 but less in HaCaT cells, whereas matrix metalloproteinase 13 was only induced in A-5 cells. Induction of matrix metalloproteinase 1 by collagen was also observed in two other malignant HaCaT-ras clones as well as in 2/2 primary squamous cell carcinoma lines. In organotypic cocultures with skin fibroblasts, matrix metalloproteinase 1 mRNA and protein was further strongly upregulated in A-5RT3 cells but less in HaCaT and A-5 cells. Importantly, matrix metalloproteinase 1 was also upregulated in fibroblasts when cocultured with A-5RT3 cells. In vivo, A-5RT3 transplants and subcutaneous tumors expressed matrix metalloproteinase 1 mRNA consistently, preferentially at the tumor front to the mouse stroma. In contrast, matrix metalloproteinase 1 expression was absent in the transplants of A-5 cells and HaCaT cells. Thus, our results demonstrate the specific induction of matrix metalloproteinase 1 in malignant keratinocytes by fibroblasts, supposedly through paracrine-acting factors, and a reciprocally enhanced expression in fibroblasts. This further substantiates the important role of tumor stroma in regulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase 1, a major matrix-degrading proteinase implicated in tumor invasion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) involves both a decreased reparative process and an increased degradative phenomenon. Several cytokines and growth factors are known to facilitate the repair of articular cartilage defects. The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) present in OA cartilage is suggested to be involved in the cartilage repair process as well as in matrix remodeling and chondrocyte migration, leading to partial reconstruction of articular cartilage. Since cell migration is often correlated with metalloprotease activity, the effect of HGF on collagenase 3 production was studied because of its possible implication in OA cartilage remodeling. METHODS We examined HGF-stimulated collagenase 3 production in human OA chondrocytes by Western and Northern blotting. Furthermore, we explored the intracellular signaling pathways through which HGF induced collagenase 3 production. RESULTS This study showed that HGF stimulated collagenase 3 production in human OA chondrocytes at the transcriptional level, and this induction was mediated by activation of the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway, but not the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). The p44/42 MAPKs were also phosphorylated and the use of their specific inhibitor (PD 98059) did not affect HGF-induced collagenase 3 production in OA chondrocytes. Induced collagenase 3 production via the SAPK/JNK pathway was mediated, at least in part, by the TRE site in the promoter, and in the activator protein 1 complex, c-Jun, JunD, and Fra-1 were activated. Surprisingly, further experiments revealed that the specific p38 MAPK inhibitor SB 202190 also inhibited collagenase 3 production early in the HGF-induced process. The 50% inhibitory concentration was as low as 50 nM, which is unlikely to be related to p38 MAPK inhibition (which is usually in the microM range), suggesting the involvement of another kinase sensitive to SB 202190. CONCLUSION This is the first study to show that HGF has the ability to induce both the expression and synthesis of collagenase 3 in OA chondrocytes. The effect is mediated by kinase cascades involving SAPK/JNK and another, unidentified kinase. This study provides novel information implicating a role for HGF in the pathophysiology of OA through its effect on the production of collagenase 3, which is an enzyme that is possibly involved in OA cartilage remodeling.

Abstract
An approach is presented for the graft copolymerization of type I atelocollagen onto the surface of polyurethane (PU) films treated with ozone. Through inducing oxidization to modify PU surface by ozone, peroxide groups are easily generated on the surface. Those peroxides are broken by redox-polymerization, and provide active species which initiate graft polymerization by reacting with amines in the collagen molecules. The ozone oxidation time and voltage could readily control the amount of peroxide production. The surface density of generated peroxides on PU surface was determined by iodide method. The maximum concentration of peroxide was about 10.20 x 10(-8)mol/cm(2) when ozone oxidation was performed at 60 V for 30 min. After the reaction of PU by ozone oxidation, type I atelocollagen was graft-copolymerized onto the PU film. All the physical measurements on the collagen-grafted surface indicated that the PU surface was effectively covered with type I atelocollagen. The interaction of the collagen-grafted PU surface with fibroblasts could be greatly enhanced by the surface graft polymerization with type I atelocollagen. Attachment and proliferation of fibroblasts on the grafted type I atelocollagen were significantly enhanced, and it is assumed that the atelocollagen matrix supported the initial attachment and growth of cells. In the early stage of proliferation, collagen synthesis in fibroblasts was not activated and remained at a relatively low level due to the grafted type I atelocollagen, increasing only with fibroblast differentiation.

Abstract
To migrate in the vessel wall, smooth muscle cells (SMCs) must contend with abundant type I collagen. We investigated the mechanisms used by human SMCs to efficiently migrate on type I collagen, following stimulation with fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). FGF-2-stimulated migration was inhibited by a hydroxamic acid inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases and by a neutralizing anti-collagenase-1 antibody. Moreover, migration speed of SMCs plated on mutant collagenase-resistant type I collagen was not increased by FGF-2. Time-lapse video analysis of unstimulated SMCs migrating on collagen revealed discrete phases of leading edge membrane extension and rear retraction, the latter often after rupture of an elongated tail. FGF-2 stimulation yielded a more synchronous, gliding motion with a collagenase-1-mediated decrease in tail ripping. Surface labeling of SMCs with biotin followed by immunoprecipitation revealed that a proportion of active collagenase-1, expressed in response to FGF-2, was bound to the plasma membrane. Pericellular collagen substrate cleavage was verified by immunostaining for neoepitopes generated by collagenase-1 action and was localized to discrete zones beneath the cell tail and the leading edge. These results identify a novel mechanism by which SMC migration on collagen is enhanced, whereby rear release from the substrate is orchestrated by the localized actions of membrane-bound collagenase-1.

Abstract
Stromelysin-2 is a matrix metalloproteinase that degrades in vitro several protein components relevant to wound repair such as collagens III and IV, gelatin, nidogen, laminin-1, proteoglycans, and elastin. Furthermore, it can activate other matrix metalloproteinases, such as collagenase-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-1) and collagenase-2 (matrix metalloproteinase-8), as well as 92 kDa gelatinase. The aim of this study was to determine in a large variety of wounds (normally healing dermal and mucosal wounds, suction blisters, ex vivo cultures, diabetic, decubitus, rheumatic, and venous ulcers) and keratinocyte cultures, which factors contribute to stromelysin-2 expression and how it is induced in relation to other matrix metalloproteinases. Our results show that stromelysin-2 mRNA and protein are upregulated later (at 3 d) than matrix metalloproteinase-1 in normally healing wounds and ex vivo explants, in which stromelysin-2 is invariably expressed by keratinocytes migrating over dermal matrix. The number of keratinocytes expressing stromelysin-2 was greatest in chronic inflamed diabetic and venous ulcers compared with rheumatoid and decubitus ulcers, six of which had no signal. In keratinocyte cultures, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, epidermal growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta1 induced stromelysin-2 expression as measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, whereas different matrices did not upregulate the mRNA. Immunostaining demonstrated stromal transforming growth factor-beta1 in contact with the stromelysin-2-positive keratinocytes. Our results suggest that stromelysin-2 expression is important for the normal repair process and is upregulated by cytokines rather than cell-matrix interactions. Stromelysin-2 is most likely to participate in the remodeling of the newly formed basement membrane, and is not overexpressed in retarded wound healing.

Abstract
The body wall of hydra (a member of the phylum Cnidaria) is structurally reduced to an epithelial bilayer with an intervening extracellular matrix (ECM). Previous studies have established that cell-ECM interactions are important for morphogenesis and cell differentiation in this simple metazoan. The ECM of hydra is particularly interesting because it represents a primordial form of matrix. Despite progress in our understanding of hydra ECM, we still know little about the nature of hydra collagens. In the current study we provide a molecular, biochemical and functional analysis of a hydra fibrillar collagen that has similarity to vertebrate type I and type II collagens. This fibrillar collagen has been named hydra collagen-I (Hcol-I) because of its structure and because it is the first ECM collagen to be identified in hydra. It represents a novel member of the collagen family. Similar to vertebrate type I and II collagens, Hcol-I contains an N-terminal propeptide-like domain, a triple helical domain containing typical Gly-X-Y repeats and a C-terminal propeptide domain. The overall identity to vertebrate fibrillar collagens is about 30%, while the identity of the C-terminal propeptide domain is 50%. Because the N-terminal propeptide domain is retained after post-translational processing, Hcol-I does not form thick fibers as seen in vertebrates. This was confirmed using transmission electron microscopy to study rotary shadow images of purified Hcol-I. In addition, absence of crucial lysine residues and an overall reduction in proline content, results in reduced crosslinking of fibrils and increased flexibility of the molecule, respectively. These structural changes in Hcol-I help to explain the flexible properties of hydra ECM. Immunocytochemical studies indicate that Hcol-I forms the 10 nm fibrils that comprise the majority of molecules in the central fibrous zone of hydra ECM. The central fibrous zone resides between the two subepithelial zones where hydra laminin is localized. While previous studies have shown that basal lamina components like laminin are expressed by the endoderm, in situ hybridisation studies show that Hcol-I mRNA expression is restricted to the ectoderm. Hcol-I expression is upregulated during head regeneration, and antisense studies using thio-oligonucleotides demonstrated that blocking the translation of Hcol-I leads to a reversible inhibition of head morphogenesis during this regenerative process. Taken in total, the data presented in this study indicate that Hcol-I is required for morphogensis in hydra and represents a novel fibrillar collagen whose structural characteristics help to explain the unique biophysical properties of hydra ECM. Interestingly, the structure of Hcol-I mimics what is seen in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VII in humans; an inherited pathological condition that leads to joint and skin abnormalities. Hcol-I therefore illustrates an adaptive trait in which the normal physiological situation in hydra translates into a pathological condition in humans.

Abstract
During osteogenesis, in vitro, of tibial-derived rat osteoblasts (ROB) and derived clones, changes occur in the interactions of mature osteoblasts with the endogenous extracellular matrix (ECM) and these culminate in the formation of tridimensional nodules, which become sites of mineral deposition. We investigated if these changes might be mediated by remodeling of ECM, and we focused our study on the neutral metalloproteinases (MMPs), known agents of matrix remodeling, and on their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). We report that during in vitro differentiation, osteoblasts express the secreted MMP-2 and -9 and the membrane gelatinase MMP-14. These, along with the tissue inhibitors TIMP-1 and -2, are developmentally regulated according to the maturation stage of osteoblasts. Their levels change in a similar association with osteoblast phenotypic maturation in different populations of ROB, which take different times to complete osteogenesis in vitro. MMP-14 expression coincides in both cell populations with the mature osteoblastic phenotype and is localized in the cells forming nodules. MMP-2 and -9 are expressed diffusely in the osteoblast population. Developmentally associated changes in the activation of MMP-2 are detected, associated in their timing with the expression of MMP-14 in both populations of ROB, and MMP-14 activates pro-MMP-2 in vitro. Expression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) for the three MMPs increases up to the time of nodule formation. At this stage, TIMP-1 mRNA levels are lowest. TIMP-2 mRNA decreases throughout osteogenesis. In situ hybridization in 7-day-old rat tibias shows the strongest expression of MMP-14 among osteogenic cells, in lining osteoblasts on the newly formed trabeculae under the growth plate, and on the endosteal surface of cortical bone. Our data support the concept that the developmentally regulated expression of MMP-14 triggers localized proteolysis within the osteogenic population, concomitant in vitro to nodule formation.

In hematoxylin and eosin-stained paraffin sections, we detect empty lacunae in osteocytes in calvariae from Col1a1(r/r) mice at age 2 weeks, increasing through age 10-12 months. Empty lacunae appear to result from osteocyte apoptosis, since staining of osteocytes/periosteal osteoblasts with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling is increased in Col1a1(r/r) relative to wild-type bones. Osteocyte perilacunar matrices stained with Ab that recognizes collagenase collagen alpha1(I) chain cleavage ends in wild-type but not Col1a1(r/r) calvariae. Increased calvarial periosteal and tibial/femoral endosteal bone deposition was found in Col1a1(r/r) mice from ages 3-12 months. Calcein labeling of calvarial surfaces was increased in Col1a1(r/r) relative to wild-type mice. Daily injections of synthetic parathyroid hormone for 30 days increased calcein-surface labeling in wild-type but caused no further increase in the already high calcein staining of Col1a1(r/r) bones. Thus, failure of collagenase cleavage of type I collagen in Col1a1(r/r) mice is associated with osteocyte/osteoblast death but increases bone deposition in a manner that mimics the parathyroid hormone-induced bone surface activation seen in wild-type mice.

Abstract
Deposition of laminin 5 over exposed dermal collagen in epidermal wounds is an early event in repair of the basement membrane. We report that deposition of laminin 5 onto collagen switches adhesion and signaling from collagen-dependent to laminin 5-dependent. Ligation of laminin 5 by integrin alpha(6)beta(4) activates phosphoinositide 3-OH-kinase (PI3K) signaling. This activation allows for adhesion and spreading via integrin alpha(3)beta(1) on laminin 5 independent of RhoGTPase, a regulator of actin stress fibers. In contrast, adhesion and spreading on collagen via alpha(2)beta(1) is Rho-dependent and is inhibited by toxin B, a Rho inhibitor. Deposition of laminin 5 and ligation of alpha(6)beta(4) increases PI3K-dependent production of phosphoinositide di- and triphosphates, PI3K activity, and phosphorylation of downstream target protein c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase. Conversely, blocking laminin 5-deposition with brefeldin A, an inhibitor of vesicle transport, or with anti-laminin 5 monoclonal antibodies abolishes the PI3K-dependent spreading mediated by alpha(3)beta(1) and phosphorylation of c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase. Studies with keratinocytes lacking alpha(6)beta(4) or laminin 5 confirm that deposition of laminin 5 and ligation by alpha(6)beta(4) are required for PI3K-dependent spreading via alpha(3)beta(1). We suggest that deposition of laminin 5 onto the collagen substratum, as in wound repair, enables human foreskin keratinocytes to interact via alpha(6)beta(4) and to switch from a RhoGTPase-dependent adhesion on collagen to a PI3K-dependent adhesion and spreading mediated by integrin alpha(3)beta(1) on laminin 5.

Abstract
Adhesion of keratinocytes in a wound outgrowth to laminin 5 in the basement membrane via integrins alpha6beta4 and alpha3beta1 is distinct from adhesion to dermal collagen via alpha2beta1 or to fibronectin via alpha5beta1. Leading cells in the outgrowth are distinguished from following keratinocytes by deposition of laminin 5, failure to communicate via gap junctions and sensitivity to toxin B, an inhibitor of RhoGTPase. Laminin 5 deposited by leading keratinocytes onto dermal collagen dominates over dermal ligands and changes the cell signals required for adhesion from collagen-dependent to laminin-5-dependent. Thus, deposition of laminin 5 can instruct keratinocytes to switch from an activated phenotype to a quiescent and integrated epithelial phenotype.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) cleaves types I, II, and III collagen triple helices into (3/4) and (1/4) fragments. To understand the structural elements responsible for this activity, various lengths of MMP-1 segments have been introduced into MMP-3 (stromelysin 1) starting from the C-terminal end. MMP-3/MMP-1 chimeras and variants were overexpressed in Escherichia coli, folded from inclusion bodies, and isolated as zymogens. After activation, recombinant chimeras were tested for their ability to digest triple helical type I collagen at 25 degrees C. The results indicate that the nine residues (183)RWTNNFREY(191) located between the fifth beta-strand and the second alpha-helix in the catalytic domain of MMP-1 are critical for the expression of collagenolytic activity. Mutation of Tyr(191) of MMP-1 to Thr, the corresponding residue in MMP-3, reduced collagenolytic activity about 5-fold. Replacement of the nine residues with those of the MMP-3 sequence further decreased the activity 2-fold. Those variants exhibited significant changes in substrate specificity and activity against gelatin and synthetic substrates, further supporting the notion that this region plays a critical role in the expression of collagenolytic activity. However, introduction of this sequence into MMP-3 or a chimera consisting of the catalytic domain of MMP-3 with the hinge region and the C-terminal hemopexin domain of MMP-1 did not express any collagenolytic activity. It is therefore concluded that RWTNNFREY, together with the C-terminal hemopexin domain, is essential for collagenolytic activity but that additional structural elements in the catalytic domain are also required. These elements probably act in a concerted manner to cleave the collagen triple helix.

Abstract
Fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix accumulation characterize idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We evaluated the presence of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1, -2, -3, and -4; collagenase-1, -2, and -3; gelatinases A and B; and membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) in 12 IPF and 6 control lungs. TIMP-1 was found in interstitial macrophages and TIMP-2 in fibroblast foci. TIMP-3 revealed an intense staining mainly decorating the elastic lamina in vessels. TIMP-4 was expressed in IPF lungs by epithelial and plasma cells. TIMP-2 colocalized with Ki67 in fibroblasts, whereas TIMP-3 colocalized with p27 in inflammatory and epithelial cells. Collagenase-1 was localized in macrophages and alveolar epithelial cells, collagenase-2 was localized in a few neutrophils, and collagenase-3 was not detected. MMP-9 was found in neutrophils and subepithelial myofibroblasts. Myofibroblast expression of MMP-9 was corroborated in vitro by RT-PCR. MMP-2 was noticed in myofibroblasts, some of them close to areas of basement membrane disruption, and membrane type 1 MMP was noticed in interstitial macrophages. These findings suggest that in IPF there is higher expression of TIMPs compared with collagenases, supporting the hypothesis that a nondegrading fibrillar collagen microenvironment is prevailing.

Abstract
Cell migration is an essential process in physiological and pathological conditions such as wound healing and tumor invasion. This phenomenon involves cell adhesion on the extracellular matrix mediated by integrins, and cell detachment promoted in part by metalloproteinases (MMPs). In the present study, the migration of two HaCaT-ras clones (metastatic or not), was compared with HaCaT cells, and normal human primary cultured keratinocytes. Using colloidal gold migration assay, the migration index on type I and type IV collagen was similar for primary cultured keratinocytes and HaCaT, whereas it was markedly higher for the HaCaT-ras clones. High motility of ras-transfected cells was confirmed from an in vitro wound healing assay. It was not correlated with changes in integrin expression or related to a different adhesion on extracellular matrix. The Marismastat (BB-2516), a MMP inhibitor, inhibited in a dose-dependent effect the migration in both assays, demonstrating the important role of MMPs in the migration process. Under our experimental conditions, MMP-1 activity was not detected in HaCaT and MMP-9 activity was secreted by these cells only after their stimulation by EGF. Here, MMP-2 was the major gelatinolytic activity secreted by all the cells and its secretion was markedly higher for HaCaT-nis clones compared with HaCaT. In addition, Western blotting results confirmed a higher expression of MMP-2 associated with a lower expression of TIMP-2 in HaCaT-ras compared with HaCaT. These results suggest that Ha-ras oncogene could be a stimulating factor of migration and might modified the balance between MMP-2 and TIMP-2 in keratinocyte cell lines.

Abstract
The Zta protein is a key transactivator involved in initiating the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic cascade. In addition to transactivating many viral genes, Zta has the capacity to influence host cellular signals by binding to promoter regions or by interacting with several important cellular factors. Based on the observation that tyrosine kinases play central roles in determining the fate of cells, a kinase display assay was used to investigate whether cells expressing Zta have an altered pattern of kinase expression. The assay revealed that TRK-related tyrosine kinase (TKT) is expressed at significant levels in Zta transfectants but not in control cells. Additional evidence was obtained from Northern and Western blotting. Importantly, the upregulation of phosphorylated TKT and TKT downstream effector matrix metalloproteinase 1 in Zta transfectants hinted that TKT might initiate a signaling cascade in Zta-expressing cells. In addition, deletion analysis of the Zta protein revealed that the transactivation and dimerization domains were both essential for the upregulation of TKT transcription. Moreover, correlation of expression levels of Zta and TKT transcripts in nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsy specimens was clearly demonstrated by quantitative PCR (Q-PCR), which provides the first evidence for an effect of Zta on cellular gene expression in vivo. These findings offer insight into the virus-cell interactions and may help us elucidate the role of EBV in tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases, particularly gelatinase B (MMP-9), has been described in the lungs in pulmonary fibrosis. Intratracheal bleomycin is often used experimentally to produce lesions resembling human fibrosing alveolitis. To assess the role of gelatinase B in bleomycin-induced fibrosing alveolitis, we instilled bleomycin intratracheally into gelatinase B-deficient mice and gelatinase B+/+ littermates. Twenty-one days after bleomycin the two groups of mice were indistinguishable in terms of pulmonary histology and total lung collagen and elastin. However, the lungs of gelatinase B-deficient mice showed minimal alveolar bronchiolization, whereas bronchiolization was prominent in the lungs of gelatinase B+/+ mice. Gelatinase B was identified immunohistochemically in terminal bronchiolar cells and bronchiolized cells 7 and 14 days after bleomycin in gelatinase B+/+ mice, and whole lung gelatinase B mRNA was increased at the same times. Many bronchiolized cells displayed Clara cell features by electron microscopy. Some bronchiolized cells stained with antibody to helix transcription factor 4, a factor associated with the ciliated cell phenotype. Thus, fibrosing alveolitis develops after intratracheal bleomycin irrespective of gelatinase B. However, gelatinase B is required for alveolar bronchiolization, perhaps by facilitating migration of Clara cells and other bronchiolar cells into the regions of alveolar injury.

Abstract
In the adult epidermis, keratinocytes do not normally express the type-1 inhibitor of plasminogen activator (PAI-1). Basal epithelial cell-specific PAI-1 synthesis, however, accompanies epidermal wound repair in vivo in which PAI-1 transcripts and immunoreactive protein are confined to epithelial cells in the migrating tongue and the hyperproliferative zone. A model system using human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) was developed to assess functional relationships between epithelial growth state transitions and PAI-1 expression. PAI-1 synthesis was maximal in low population density, exponentially growing HaCaT cultures; relative PAI-1 mRNA and protein levels progressively declined as cells attained, and were maintained in, a postconfluent condition. While the fraction of PAI-1(+) keratinocytes remained stable (at approximately 85-90% of the population) throughout the culture period, both PAI-1 mRNA abundance and mean cell-associated PAI-1 protein declined by >90% during prolonged (i.e., 8-day) growth arrest. Similar to epidermal trauma in vivo, scrape wounding of HaCaT monolayers resulted in the rapid and location-specific induction of PAI-1 protein (an increase of 11- to 16-fold relative to unwounded cultures) in cells immediately bordering the injury site. PAI-1 expression was evident in keratinocytes that comprised the opposed migrating fronts and remained elevated until wound closure. Down-regulation of PAI-1 synthesis in HaCaT cells transfected with an inducible LacSwitch-based antisense vector system markedly impaired both the rate and the extent of wound closure. All injuries created in antisense PAI-1 monolayers remained unhealed at day 8 postinjury compared to the 3-day complete repair typical of control cultures. Vector-driven modulation of PAI-1 synthesis was also associated with an increase in the percentage of suprabasal-type keratinocytes within the wound field. PAI-1 expression by migrating HaCaT cells appears necessary to maintain the basal epidermal phenotype and/or appropriate cell-to-substrate adhesion during injury repair.

Abstract
Remodeling of the extracellular matrix during tissue development, wound repair and tumor cell invasion depends on the coordinated regulation of cell adhesion receptors, matrix proteins and enzymes that proteolyse the extracellular matrix. Integrin alpha3beta1 is a major receptor on epidermal keratinocytes for laminin-5 in the cutaneous basement membrane and is required for normal basement membrane organization during skin development. alpha3beta1 is also expressed at high levels in the majority of adherent transformed cells and in most tumors, and it could have similar roles in extracellular matrix remodeling during tumorigenesis and cell invasion. In the present study, we show that alpha3beta1 expression is required in immortalized mouse keratinocytes (MK) for the production of the matrix metalloproteinase MMP-9/gelatinase B, an MMP that is coexpressed with alpha3beta1 in epithelial cell carcinomas and during wound healing, and contributes to the invasive potential of some tumor cells. MMP-9 was expressed in MK cells derived from wild-type mice, but not in MK cells derived from alpha3-null mice. Reconstitution of alpha3beta1 expression in alpha3-null MK cells through transfection with the alpha3 subunit restored MMP-9 secretion, indicating an alpha3beta1-dependent pathway for MMP-9 production. alpha3beta1-dependent expression of MMP-9 was associated with the immortalized phenotype, since nonimmortalized, primary keratinocytes required soluble growth factors, but not alpha3beta1, for efficient expression of MMP-9. Our results suggest that an alpha3beta1-independent pathway(s) for MMP-9 production is suppressed in keratinocytes immortalized with large T antigen, and that an alpha3beta1-dependent pathway is required for sustained production of MMP-9 in the absence of other pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Alterations in synthesis and breakdown of extracellular matrix components are known to play a crucial role in tissue remodelling during inflammation and wound healing. Degradation of collagens is highly regulated by a cascade of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The current study was therefore designed to determine gene expression patterns of MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in single endoscopic biopsies of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). PATIENTS/METHODS mRNA expression was measured by quantitative competitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in biopsies from patients with ulcerative colitis (n=21) and Crohn's disease (n=21). Protein expression was analysed by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS MMP-2, MMP-14, and TIMP-1 mRNAs were marginally increased in inflamed, but 9-12-fold increased in ulcerated colonic mucosa in IBD whereas TIMP-2 mRNA expression remained unchanged. MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA expression correlated well with the histological degree of acute inflammation, resulting in more than 15-fold increased MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA levels in inflamed versus normal colon samples from patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. CONCLUSION Profound overexpression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA transcripts suggests an important role for these enzymes in the process of tissue remodelling and destruction in inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
During tissue-invasive events, migrating cells penetrate type I collagen-rich interstitial tissues by mobilizing undefined proteolytic enzymes. To screen for members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family that mediate collagen-invasive activity, an in vitro model system was developed wherein MDCK cells were stably transfected to overexpress each of ten different MMPs that have been linked to matrix remodeling states. MDCK cells were then stimulated with scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor (SF/HGF) to initiate invasion and tubulogenesis atop either type I collagen or interstitial stroma to determine the ability of MMPs to accelerate, modify, or disrupt morphogenic responses. Neither secreted collagenases (MMP-1 and MMP-13), gelatinases (gelatinase A or B), stromelysins (MMP-3 and MMP-11), or matrilysin (MMP-7) affected SF/HGF-induced responses. By contrast, the membrane-anchored metalloproteinases, membrane-type 1 MMP, membrane-type 2 MMP, and membrane-type 3 MMP (MT1-, MT2-, and MT3-MMP) each modified the morphogenic program. Of the three MT-MMPs tested, only MT1-MMP and MT2-MMP were able to directly confer invasion-incompetent cells with the ability to penetrate type I collagen matrices. MT-MMP-dependent invasion proceeded independently of proMMP-2 activation, but required the enzymes to be membrane-anchored to the cell surface. These findings demonstrate that MT-MMP-expressing cells can penetrate and remodel type I collagen-rich tissues by using membrane-anchored metalloproteinases as pericellular collagenases.

Abstract
Cell migration is a key event in many biological processes and depends on signals from both extracellular matrix and soluble motogenic factors. During atherosclerotic plaque development, vascular smooth muscle cells migrate from the tunica media to the intima through a basement membrane and interstitial collagenous matrix and proliferate to form a neointima. Matrix metalloproteinases have previously been implicated in neointimal formation and in this study smooth muscle cell adhesion and migration on degraded collagen have been evaluated. Vascular smooth muscle cells adhered to native intact collagen type I and to its first degradation by-product, 3/4 fragment (generated by collagenase-3 cleavage), unwound at 35 degrees C to mimic physiological conditions. PDGF-BB pre-treatment induced a fourfold stimulation of smooth muscle cell motility on the collagen 3/4 fragment whereas no increase in smooth muscle cell motility on collagen type I was observed. Cell migration on collagen type I was mediated by alpha2 integrin, whereas PDGF-BB-stimulated migration on the 3/4 collagen fragment was dependent on alphavbeta3 integrin. alphavbeta3 integrin was organised in clusters concentrated at the leading and trailing edges of the cells and was only expressed when cells were exposed to the 3/4 collagen fragment. Tyrphostin A9, an inhibitor of PDGF receptor-beta tyrosine kinase activity, resulted in complete abolition of migration of PDGF-BB treated cells on collagen type I and 3/4 fragment. These results strongly support the hypothesis that the cellular migratory response to soluble motogens can be regulated by proteolytic modification of the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
ADAM 23 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain)/MDC3 (metalloprotease, disintegrin, and cysteine-rich domain) is a member of the disintegrin family of proteins expressed in fetal and adult brain. In this work we show that the disintegrin-like domain of ADAM 23 produced in Escherichia coli and immobilized on culture dishes promotes attachment of different human cells of neural origin, such as neuroblastoma cells (NB100 and SH-S(y)5(y)) or astrocytoma cells (U373 and U87 MG). Analysis of ADAM 23 binding to integrins revealed a specific interaction with alphavbeta3, mediated by a short amino acid sequence present in its putative disintegrin loop. This sequence lacks any RGD motif, which is a common structural determinant supporting alphavbeta3-mediated interactions of diverse proteins, including other disintegrins. alphavbeta3 also supported adhesion of HeLa cells transfected with a full-length cDNA for ADAM 23, extending the results obtained with the recombinant protein containing the disintegrin domain of ADAM 23. On the basis of these results, we propose that ADAM 23, through its disintegrin-like domain, may function as an adhesion molecule involved in alphavbeta3-mediated cell interactions occurring in normal and pathological processes, including progression of malignant tumors from neural origin.

Abstract
Binding of the zymogen serine protease Factor VII (FVII) to its cellular cofactor tissue factor (TF) triggers blood coagulation. Several recent reports have suggested that the formation of this complex may serve additional functions. We have used cDNA arrays to study differential gene expression in response to the interaction of activated FVII (FVIIa) with TF on a human keratinocyte cell line. Of 931 mRNA species observed up to 6 h after FVIIa (10 nM) addition, 24 were significantly up-regulated in what may resemble a wound-type response. Responders included mRNA species coding for transcription regulators (c-fos, egr-1, ETR101, BTEB2, c-myc, fra-1, and tristetraproline), growth factors (amphiregulin, hbEGF, CTGF, and FGF-5), proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-8, LIF, and MIP2alpha), proteins involved in cellular reorganization/migration (RhoE, uPAR, and collagenases 1 and 3), and others (PAI-2, cyclophilin, GADD45, Jagged1, and prostaglandin E(2) receptor). The transcriptional response to FVIIa was abrogated by antibodies to TF and left unaffected by hirudin. The pattern of genes induced suggests that the FVIIa.TF complex may play an active role in early wound repair as well as hemostasis. The former is a novel function ascribed to the complex that may also be contributing to the pathophysiology of unwarranted TF expression.

Abstract
Many different factors must be considered before selecting a wound healing model to use for a specific study. A wide variety of models have been developed that examine different aspects of the repair response, both in vitro and in vivo. In this review article, we focus on those systems that are most widely used for studies on adult soft tissue healing. Advantages and disadvantages of each are discussed, along with relevant background information to help guide decision-making.

Abstract
As a member of Cnidaria, the body wall of hydra is structurally reduced to an epithelial bilayer with an intervening extracellular matrix (ECM). Biochemical and cloning studies have shown that the molecular composition of hydra ECM is similar to that seen in vertebrates and functional studies have demonstrated that cell-ECM interactions are important to developmental processes in hydra. Because vertebrate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been shown to have an important role in cell-ECM interactions, the current study was designed to determine whether hydra has homologues of these proteinases and, if so, what function these enzymes have in morphogenesis and cell differentiation in this simple metazoan. Utilizing a PCR approach, a single hydra matrix metalloproteinase, named HMMP was identified and cloned. The structure of HMMP was similar to that of vertebrate MMPs with an overall identity of about 35%. Detailed structural analysis indicated some unique features in (1) the cysteine-switch region of the prodomain, (2) the hinge region preceding the hemopexin domain, and (3) the hemopexin domain. Using a bacterial system, HMMP protein was expressed and folded to obtain an active enzyme. Substrate analysis studies indicated that recombinant HMMP could digest a number of hydra ECM components such as hydra laminin. Using a fluorogenic MMP substrate assay, it was determined that HMMP was inhibited by peptidyl hydroxamate MMP inhibitors, GM6001 and matlistatin, and by human recombinant TIMP-1. Whole-mount in situ studies indicated that HMMP mRNA was expressed in the endoderm along the entire longitudinal axis of hydra, but at relatively high levels at regions where cell-transdifferentiation occurred (apical and basal poles). Functional studies using GM6001 and TIMP-1 indicated that these MMP inhibitors could reversibly block foot regeneration. Blockage of foot regeneration was also observed using antisense thio-oligo nucleotides to HMMP introduced into the endoderm of the basal pole using a localized electroporation technique. Studies with adult intact hydra found that GM6001 could also cause the reversible de-differentiation or inhibition of transdifferentiation of basal disk cells of the foot process. Basal disk cells are adjacent to those endoderm cells of the foot process that express high levels of HMMP mRNA. In summary, these studies indicate that hydra has at least one MMP that is functionally tied to morphogenesis and cell transdifferentiation in this simple metazoan.

Abstract
Induced expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), a major negative regulator of pericellular plasmin generation, accompanies wound repair in vitro and in vivo. Since transcriptional control of the PAI-1 gene is superimposed on a growth state-dependent program of cell activation (Kutz et al., 1997, J Cell Physiol 170:8-18), it was important to define potentially functional relationships between PAI-1 synthesis and subpopulations of cells that emerge during the process of injury repair in T2 renal epithelial cells. Specific cohorts of migratory and proliferating cells induced in response to monolayer trauma were spatially as well as temporally distinct. Migrating cells did not divide in the initial 12 to 20 h postinjury. After 24 h, S-phase cells were generally restricted to a region 1 to 2 mm from, and parallel to, the wound edge. Proliferation of wound bed cells occurred subsequent to wound closure, whereas the distal contact-inhibited monolayer remained generally quiescent. Hydroxyurea blockade indicated, however, that proliferation (most likely of cells immediately behind the motile "tongue") was necessary for maintenance of cell-to-cell cohesiveness in the advancing front, although the ability to migrate was independent of proliferation. PAI-1 mRNA expression was rapidly up-regulated in response to wounding with inductive kinetics approximating that of serum-stimulated cultures. Differential harvesting of T2 cell subpopulations, based on proximity to the injury site, prior to Northern assessments of PAI-1 mRNA abundance indicated that PAI-1 transcripts were restricted to cells immediately bordering the wound or actively migrating and not expressed by cells in the distal contact-inhibited monolayer regions. Such cell location-specific distribution of PAI-1-producing cells was confirmed by immunocytochemistry. PAI-1 synthesis in cells that locomoted into the wound field continued until injury closure. Down-regulation of PAI-1 synthesis and matrix deposition in renal epithelial cells, stably transfected with a PAI-1 antisense expression vector, significantly impaired wound closure. Transfection of the wound repair-deficient R/A epithelial line with a sense PAI-1 expression construct restored both approximately normal levels of PAI-1 synthesis and repair ability. These data indicate that PAI-1 induction is an early event in creation of the wound-activated phenotype and appears to participate in the regulation of renal epithelial cell motility during in vitro injury resolution.

Abstract
Collagenase-3 (MMP-13) is a human matrix metalloproteinase specifically expressed by transformed squamous epithelial cells, i.e. squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells in culture and in vivo. Here, we have elucidated the signaling pathways regulating MMP-13 expression in transformed human epidermal keratinocytes, i.e. ras-transformed HaCaT cell line A-5 and cutaneous SCC cell line (UT-SCC-7). Treatment with tumor necrosis factor-(alpha) (TNF-(alpha) resulted in activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1,2, Jun N-terminal kinase and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in both cell lines. In addition, transforming growth factor-(beta) (TGF-(beta) activated p38 MAPK in both cell lines, and ERK2 in A-5 cells. Selective inhibition of p38 activity with SB 203580 abolished the enhancement of MMP-13, as well as collagenase-1 (MMP-1) and 92-kDa gelatinase (MMP-9) expression by TNF-(alpha) and TGF-(beta). Blocking the ERK1, 2 pathway by PD 98059 had no effect on the induction of MMP-13 expression by TNF-(alpha) or TGF-(beta), but potently suppressed MMP-1 and MMP-9 production. Inhibition of p38 activity by SB 203580 also suppressed collagenolytic activity produced by both cell lines and inhibited invasion of TNF-(alpha) or TGF-(beta) stimulated A-5 cells through type I collagen and reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel). These results show that activation of p38 MAPK pathway plays a crucial role in the invasive phenotype of transformed squamous epithelial cells, suggesting p38 MAPK as a target to specifically inhibit their invasion.

Abstract
The alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1 integrins, extracellular matrix receptors for collagens and/or laminins, have similarities in structure and ligand binding. Recent studies suggest that the two receptors mediate distinct post-ligand binding events and are not simply redundant receptors. To discern the mechanisms by which the two receptors differ, we focused on the roles of the cytoplasmic domains of the alpha subunits. We expressed either full-length alpha1 integrin subunit cDNA (X1C1), full-length alpha2 integrin subunit cDNA (X2C2), chimeric cDNA composed of the extracellular and transmembrane domains of alpha2 subunit and the cytoplasmic domain of alpha1 (X2C1), chimeric cDNA composed of the extracellular and transmembrane domains of alpha1 subunit and the cytoplasmic domain of alpha2 (X1C2), alpha1 cDNA truncated after the GFFKR sequence (X1C0) or alpha2 cDNA truncated after the GFFKR sequence (X2C0) in K562 cells. Although the cytoplasmic domains of the alpha1 and alpha2 subunits were not required for adhesion, the extent of adhesion at low substrate density was enhanced by the presence of either the alpha1 or alpha2 cytoplasmic tail. Spreading was also influenced by the presence of an alpha subunit cytoplasmic tail. Activation of the protein kinase C pathway with phorbol dibutyrate-stimulated motility that was dependent upon the presence of the alpha2 cytoplasmic tail. Both the phosphatidylinosotide-3-OH kinase and the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways were required for phorbol-activated, alpha2-cytoplasmic tail-dependent migration.

Abstract
Integrins are involved in several ways in keratinocyte physiology, including cell motility. CD9 is a member of the tetraspanin protein family which is found in association with other transmembrane proteins like the integrins. CD9 is expressed in the epidermal tissue, but this expression is not regulated by differentiation. The present work focuses on association of CD9 with the integrin alpha6beta4 in keratinocytes. In vivo, CD9 does not co-localize with alpha6beta4, and is not internalized with the integrin upon basal detachment with dispase. In vitro, CD9 is found partly in co-localization with alpha6beta4 and is internalized with the integrin after keratinocyte detachment with dispase. Using blocking antibodies in a phagokinetic tracks assay, we show that CD9, and to a lesser extent alpha6beta4, but not the tetraspanin CD82, promote motility of subconfluent keratinocytes on collagen I. Our observations also suggest that CD9 is involved in the formation of lamellipodia. We also report that the phorbol ester TPA has no effect on CD9 expression and association with alpha6beta4, but increases keratinocyte motility, possibly through modulation of integrin subunits expression, or through upregulation of collagenase-1 expression. Together, these results confirm that CD9 associates with alpha6beta4 in cultured keratinocytes, possibly in order to regulate the function of the integrin, and that CD9 is involved in keratinocyte motility on collagen. The data suggest that regulation of adhesion characteristics by CD9 in keratinocytes may play a role in epidermal repair.

Abstract
Human collagenase-3 (matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13)) is characterized by exceptionally wide substrate specificity and restricted tissue specific expression. Human skin fibroblasts in culture express MMP-13 only when they are in three-dimensional collagen (Ravanti, L., Heino, J., López-Otín, C., and Kähäri. V.-M. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 2446-2455). Here we show that MMP-13 is expressed by fibroblasts during normal human gingival wound repair. Expression of MMP-13 by human gingival fibroblasts cultured in monolayer or in collagen gel was induced by transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). Treatment of gingival fibroblasts with TGF-beta1 activated two distinct mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs): extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) in 15 min and p38 MAPK in 1 and 2 h. Induction of MMP-13 expression by TGF-beta1 was blocked by SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK, but not by PD98059, a selective inhibitor of ERK1/2 activation. Adenovirus-mediated expression of dominant negative p38alpha and c-Jun potently inhibited induction of MMP-13 expression in gingival fibroblasts by TGF-beta1. Infection of gingival fibroblasts with adenovirus for constitutively active MEK1 resulted in activation of ERK1/2 and JNK1 and up-regulation of collagenase-1 (MMP-1) and stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) production but did not induce MMP-13 expression. In addition, activation of p38 MAPK by constitutively active MKK6b or MKK3b was not sufficient to induce MMP-13 expression. These results show that TGF-beta-elicited induction of MMP-13 expression by gingival fibroblasts is dependent on the activity of p38 MAPK and the presence of functional AP-1 dimers. These observations demonstrate a fundamental difference in the regulation of collagenolytic capacity between gingival and dermal fibroblasts and suggest a role for MMP-13 in rapid turnover of collagenous matrix during repair of gingival wounds, which heal with minimal scarring.

Abstract
Limited epithelial cell migration on synthetic polymeric biomaterials, such as polyesters, presents a serious challenge to their use as scaffolds for artificial skin analogs. The mechanisms by which a physiologic matrix interface on such polymers may regulate and promote cell migration under 'activated conditions' were the focus of this study. We have quantified the migration behavior of epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulated epidermal keratinocytes on 50:50 poly-D,L(lactide-glycolide) (PLGA) substrates, following exogenous and cell-derived substrate conditioning based on the model matrix proteins, collagen and fibronectin. We report that 'non-conditioned' PLGA substrates elicited poor levels of keratinocyte migration. However, keratinocyte migration was significantly enhanced upon the adsorption of type I collagen, and was only weakly enhanced with fibronectin adsorption. Molecular analysis of the mechanism of enhanced migration on collagen-PLGA substrates showed that keratinocyte migration was sensitive to cell-derived fibronectin conditioning, but not to cell-secreted collagen conditioning. Fibronectin control of cell migration on collagen-PLGA was found to be both stoichiometric and biologically specific, mediated via adhesion involving keratinocyte alpha v integrin receptors. Based on our results, we propose a unique paradigm for induction of cell migration on a non-physiologic synthetic polymer using concerted interactions between primary, polymer-instructed matrix remodeling and secondary, cell-derived matrix remodeling.

Abstract
Cancer progression to the invasive and metastatic stage represents the most formidable barrier to successful treatment. To develop rational therapies, we must determine the molecular bases of these transitions. Cell motility is one of the defining characteristics of invasive tumors, enabling tumors to migrate into adjacent tissues or transmigrate limiting basement membranes and extracellular matrices. Invasive tumor cells have been demonstrated to present dysregulated cell motility in response to extracellular signals from growth factors and cytokines. Recent findings suggest that this growth factor receptor-mediated motility is one of the most common aberrations in tumor cells leading to invasiveness and represents a cellular behavior distinct from-adhesion-related haptokinetic and haptotactic migration. This review focuses on the emerging understanding of the biochemical and biophysical foundations of growth factor-induced cell motility and tumor cell invasiveness, and the implications for development of targeted agents, with particular emphasis on signaling from the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptors, as these have most often been associated with tumor invasion. The nascent models highlight the roles of various intracellular signaling pathways including phospholipase C-gamma (PLC gamma), phosphatidylinositol (PI)3'-kinase, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, and actin cytoskeleton-related events. Development of novel agents against tumor invasion will require not only a detailed appreciation of the biochemical regulatory elements of motility but also a paradigm shift in our approach to and assessment of cancer therapy.

Abstract
During repair, many different matrix metalloproteinases are produced by multiple cell types residing in various compartments within the wound environment. This diversity of enzymes, coupled with discreet cellular expression, implies that different matrix metalloproteinases serve different functions, acting on a variety of substrates, during wound healing. With few exceptions, however, the actual function and spectrum of functions of matrix metalloproteinases in vivo is not known. Even with the advent of genetically defined animal models, few studies have rigorously addressed the substrates and role of matrix metalloproteinases in wound repair. Before we can understand the role of matrix metalloproteinases in ulceration and disease, we need to determine the function these enzymes serve in normal tissues and repair.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix is not merely a passive structure. In the past few years, it has emerged that the matrix is a dynamic action zone that functions to instruct cellular phenotype. Extracellular matrix proteins interact directly with cell surface receptors to initiate signal transduction pathways and to modulate those triggered by differentiation and growth factors. The extracellular matrix also controls the activity and presentation of a wide range of growth factors. Thus modulation of the extracellular matrix, by remodelling its structure and activity, has profound effects on its function and the consequent behaviour of cells residing on or within it.

Abstract
Both serine and metalloproteinases have been implicated in the complex integrated events underlying cell migration but no definitive single mechanism has emerged. Work over the past two years linking both membrane and soluble proteinases with integrins and other adhesion proteins and with intracellular signalling systems could herald the beginnings of a potential expansion of our understanding of the role and regulation of proteolysis in cell migration.

Abstract
In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans gonad shape and size is determined by the migration of a leader cell, which is at the tip of the growing gonad arm. A metalloprotease secreted by the leader cell has recently been found to play an essential role in this process, preparing the way ahead for the cell's migration.

Abstract
The role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cell migration was studied by measuring cell growth, migration, and production of MMP-2 and -9 in oral mucosal and skin keratinocytes cultured in the presence of synthetic MMP inhibitors. MMP-2 was the major gelatinolytic MMP produced by these cells while MMP-9 was produced at a low basal level. Inhibitor effects on MMP-9 production were therefore studied in keratinocytes stimulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha). Tetracycline analogues at concentrations that inhibited the production of MMP-2 but not MMP-9 were able to drastically inhibit migration of both mucosal and skin keratinocytes. Tetracycline analogues also inhibited keratinocyte growth, an effect not found for the other inhibitors tested. Heterocyclic carbonate-derived compounds (LWs) that inhibited MMP-9 but not MMP-2 production had no effect on cell migration. Batimastat, a potent MMP inhibitor, did not have any effect on MMP production or cell growth but did inhibit keratinocyte migration. Tumor growth factor beta (TGFbeta) increased keratinocyte migration as well as both cell-associated and secreted MMP-2 production in wounded cell cultures. The secreted enzyme was partially converted into an active form. In this model batimastat totally blocked TGFbeta-promoted keratinocyte migration. Immunostaining of keratinocytes advancing into the wound revealed that MMP-2 was localized in extracellular matrix contactlike structures against the endogenously produced laminin-5-rich matrix. MMP-9 was localized diffusely along the cell membranes. Using in situ hybridization we observed that in chronically inflamed human gingiva MMP-2 is expressed in epithelium extending into subepithelial connective tissue. These results suggest that MMP-2 plays a specific role in epithelial migration, possibly by detaching the advancing cells from the pericellular matrix or by activating other MMPs.
