TGF-β and TNF-α interaction promotes the expression of MMP-9 through H3K36 dimethylation: implications in breast cancer metastasis

Increased MMP-9 expression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a crucial role in the extracellular matrix remodeling to facilitate cancer invasion and metastasis. However, the mechanism of MMP-9 upregulation in TME remains elusive. Since TGF-β and TNF-α levels are elevated in TME, we asked whe...
