Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP, MMP-14), a transmembrane proteinase with a short cytoplasmic tail, is a major effector of extracellular matrix remodeling. Genetic silencing of MT1-MMP in mouse ( ) and man causes dwarfism, osteopenia, arthritis, and lipodystrophy, abnormalities ascribed to defective collagen turnover. We have previously shown non-proteolytic functions of MT1-MMP mediated by its cytoplasmic tail, where the unique tyrosine (Y573) controls intracellular signaling. The Y573D mutation blocks TIMP-2/MT1-MMP-induced Erk1/2 and Akt signaling without affecting proteolytic activity. Here, we report that a mouse with the MT1-MMP Y573D mutation ( ) shows abnormalities similar to but also different from those of mice. Skeletal stem cells (SSC) of mice show defective differentiation consistent with the mouse phenotype, which is rescued by wild-type SSC transplant. These results provide the first demonstration that MT1-MMP modulates bone, cartilage, and fat homeostasis by controlling SSC differentiation through a mechanism independent of proteolysis.

We previously reported that membrane-type 5-matrix metalloproteinase (MT5-MMP) deficiency not only reduces pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in 5xFAD (Tg) mice in vivo but also impairs interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-mediated neuroinflammation and Aβ production in primary Tg immature neural cell cultures after 11 days in vitro. We now investigate the effect of MT5-MMP on incipient pathogenic pathways that are activated in cortical primary cultures at 21-24 days in vitro (DIV), during which time neurons are organized into a functional mature network. Using wild-type (WT), MT5-MMP (MT5), 5xFAD (Tg), and 5xFADxMT5-MMP (TgMT5) mice, we generated primary neuronal cultures that were exposed to IL-1β and/or different proteolytic system inhibitors.

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is frequently hyperactivated in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) associated with poor prognosis and is a therapeutic target in breast cancer management. Here, we describe the effects of repression of mTOR-containing complex 1 (mTORC1) through knockdown of several key mTORC1 components or with mTOR inhibitors used in cancer therapy. mTORC1 repression results in an ∼10-fold increase in extracellular matrix proteolytic degradation.

Cholesterol is a vital component of cellular membranes and is an essential molecule in mammalian physiology. Yet dysregulation of hepatic cholesterol metabolism and an increase in plasma cholesterol is linked to development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Maintaining tight regulation of cholesterol homeostasis is therefore essential, elegantly highlighted by the control of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) abundance and associated lipoprotein clearance.

Objective: Accumulating evidence has implicated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the progression of human cancers. Matrix metallopeptidase 25 (MMP25) is a membrane-type MMP whose role in tumorigenesis and cancer development is not well understood. Here, we investigated the functions of MMP25 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC).

Cellular iron plays a crucial role in many crucial physiological processes. Excessive iron retention due to iron influx and efflux imbalance contributes to cancer development and proliferation, as well as malignant conversion. Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) plays a crucial role in tumor invasion and metastasis, because this enzyme can degrade various extracellular matrix components and cleave membrane tethered proteins on the cell surface.
