Background and Objectives: Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -2 and -9 play important roles in the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer, but the mechanism of their regulation is not clearly understood. GM-CSF has been shown to be associated with cancer invasion and metastasis. The goal of our study was to examine the stimulation of GM-CSF/ interleukin 3 (IL-3)/IL-5 receptor common β-chain (βc) and its effects on MMP-2 and -9 regulation in human breast cancer cells.
Methods: The constitutive expression of the GM-CSF/IL-3/IL-5 receptor common βc and GM-CSF production were analyzed in BT 549, MCF-7, and MDA-MB 231 human breast cancer cell lines. We studied the effects of reco... view moreĀ»
