Human breast cancer cell-mediated bone collagen degradation requires plasminogen activation and matrix metalloproteinase activity

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer cells frequently metastasize to the skeleton and induce extensive bone destruction. Cancer cells produce proteinases, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the plasminogen activator system (PAS) which promote invasion of extracellular matrices, but whether these pr...
