COLLAGEN XVI INDUCES EXPRESSION OF MMP9 VIA MODULATION OF AP-1 TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS AND FACILITATES INVASION OF ORAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA.

Collagen XVI induces expression of MMP9 via modulation of AP-1 transcription factors and facilitates invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Collagen XVI belongs to the family of fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices (FACIT).It is overexpressed during the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).The present data show a strong collagen XVI-dependent induction of MMP9 and an increase in OSCC cell invasion.We found activated integrin-linked kinase (ILK) in a
