Matrix metalloproteinase-2 Promotes αvβ3 Integrin-Mediated Adhesion and Migration of Human Melanoma Cells by Cleaving Fibronectin

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a key regulator in the migration of tumor cells. αvβ3 integrin has been reported to play a critical role in cell adhesion and regulate the migration of tumor cells by promoting MMP-2 activation. However, little is known about the effects of MMP-2 on...
