Q&As

How to regulate the activity of MMP2 in tumor therapy?

The activity of MMP2 is regulated by inhibitors and antibodies against it to inhibit tumor metastasis and invasion.

How is MMP2 related to metastases that promote disease progression?

MMP2 interacts with some transfer factors, such as VEGF and EGF, to promote tumor metastasis and invasion.

What are the application prospects of MMP2 inhibitors?

Inhibitors of MMP2 can be used as potential drug targets for the treatment of tumors, cardiovascular diseases and other related diseases.

Does MMP2 interact with the tumor microenvironment?

MMP2 interacts with tumor cells, immune cells, blood vessels, etc. in the tumor microenvironment to affect tumor progression and treatment effect.

What is the role of MMP2 in embryonic development?

It is involved in important processes such as morphogenesis, organ development and intraembryonic lymphatic vessel formation during embryonic development.

What are the effects of MMP2 mutations in human disease?

Mutations in MMP2 may affect its protein structure and function, leading to the occurrence and progression of related diseases.
