Extra cellular matrix (ECM) provides structural support for the body and also contributes to cell proliferation and migration. Modification ECM is an important part of normal physiology, and integral to a variety of pathologies including tumor growth and progression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of greater than 20 enzymes capable of modifying the ECM. In normal physiology MMP expression is tightly regulated at low levels; however, high levels of MMP expression are known to contribute to tumor growth and progression. The most widely expressed MMP is MMP-1, and MMP-1 expression is partially regulated by ETS and AP-1 transcription factor binding sites in the proximal MMP-1 promoter. Additionally, a polymorphism consisting of the insertion (2G) or deletion (1G) of a guanine nucleotide has been described at position -1607 bp in the MMP-1 promoter. The 2G polymorphism creates an ETS binding site in close proximity to an AP-1 binding site, and transient transfection assays have demonstrated that 2G MMP-1 promoters are more transcriptionally active than 1G promoters. To understand the contribution of the 2G polymorphism to endogenous MMP-1 expression, primary fibroblast isolates were genotyped for the MMP-1 promoter, stimulated to produce MMP-1, and the MMP-1 mRNA expression levels were correlated with the promoter genotype. In human foreskin fibroblasts, the presence of a 2G polymorphism is not adequate for higher MMP-1 mRNA expression; however, there is a greater dispersion of MMP-1 mRNA levels in a series of cells containing a 2G polymorphism, suggesting that the presence of a 2G polymorphism may increase the potential for a cell to have higher MMP-1 expression levels. Higher MMP-1 expression has been correlated with the increased incidence or invasiveness of several cancers. To determine whether MMP-1 contributes to breast cancer tumorigenesis, RNA interference was utilized to silence constitutively high MMP-1 expression in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Blocking MMP-1 expression in this cell line inhibited cell mediated destruction of a type 1 collagen matrix, and significantly decreased the size of tumors formed by MDA-MB-231 cells injected into the mammary fat pad of nude mice, suggesting MMP-1 expression is important for tumor growth in a murine model of breast tumorigenesis.
