Abstract
We report that MT4-MMP is displayed on the cell surface as a mixed population of monomeric, dimeric, and oligomeric forms. Sucrose gradient fractionation demonstrated that these forms of MT4-MMP are all present in lipid rafts. Mutational and computational analyses revealed that Cys(564), which is pr...

Abstract
We demonstrate that neutrophils accumulate in the lung prior to the arrival of metastatic cells in mouse models of breast cancer. Tumor-entrained neutrophils (TENs) inhibit metastatic seeding in the lungs by generating H(2)O(2) and tumor secreted CCL2 is a critical mediator of optimal antimetastatic...

Abstract
We show MMP-9 overexpression conferred a poor prognosis in 163 GBM patients. Furthermore, MMP-9 specific miRNA expression profile (14 positively and 31 negatively correlated miRNAs with MMP-9) was established via miRNA microarrays in 60 GBM samples. Among them, two miRNAs: miR-885-5p and miR-491-5p,...

Abstract
We hypothesized that these observations may be explained by a second MIF-like ligand, and we considered a probable candidate to be the protein encoded by the homologous, D-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT) gene. We show that recombinant D-DT protein binds CD74 with high affinity, leading to activation o...

Abstract
We demonstrate the fundamental role of the prolyl isomerase Pin1 in mutant p53 oncogenic functions. Pin1 enhances tumorigenesis in a Li-Fraumeni mouse model and cooperates with mutant p53 in Ras-dependent transformation. In breast cancer cells, Pin1 promotes mutant p53 dependent inhibition of the an...
