In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the structure, function, and regulation of gene expression of secreted metalloproteinases that participate in the degradation of the mammalian extracellular matrix (ECM). At the same time, several lines of investigation have produced circumstantial evidence implicating these proteases in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. A more detailed discussion of the properties of these proteases is outside the scope of this review, but we summarize here the available data concerning the possible role of these enzymes and plasminogen activators in tumor development and metastasis.
