Cancer invasion through dense extracellular matrices (ECMs) is mediated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which degrade the ECM thereby creating paths for migration. However, how this degradation influences the phenotype of cancer cells is not fully clear. Here we address this question by probing the function of MMPs in regulating biophysical properties of cancer cells relevant to invasion. We show that MMP catalytic activity regulates cell spreading, motility, contractility and cortical stiffness by stabilizing integrins at the membrane and activating focal adhesion kinase. Interestingly, cell rounding and cell softening on stiff gels induced by MMP inhibition is attenuated on MMP pre-conditioned surfaces. Together, our results suggest that MMP catalytic activity regulates invasiveness of cancer cells by modulating integrins.
