摘要: Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays roles in cancer progression by degrading the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. Many growth factors including Transforming factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) could induce MMP-9 expression. We demonstrated that TGF-β1 induced mRNA protein human head neck squamous cell carcinoma lines. Application of TGF-β receptor type I inhibitor (SB505124) reduced expression markedly. Whilst, Myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) reduce level secreted both supernatants lysate but not mRNA. These suggested MLCK might regulate post-transcriptionally. SB505124 siRNA Smad2/3 phosphorylation myosin (MLC) MLC is downstream to TβRI/Smad2/3 signaling pathway. In conclusion, these results describe a novel mechanism for potentiation via Smad MLCK.
