Abstract
MMPs are a family of Zn dependent endopeptidases, which can mediate degradation of ECM components during various physiological and pathological processes including cancer. Some ECM components, through interaction with integrin receptor and modulation of downstream signaling, are capable of regulating expression and activity of several MMPs. α5β1 integrin is the universally accepted receptor for the ECM component fibronectin (FN). The present review deals with the downstream signaling involved in the α5β1 integrin mediated modulation of expression and activity of MMPs and their effector responses in different cellular system.
Keywords: ECM, Fibronectin, Integrin, MMP, extracellular matrix, matrix metalloproteinase, membrane-type-1 MMP, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, focal adhesion kinase, phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase, mitogen activated protein kinase, extracellular regulated kinase.

Induction of cell death in cancer cells by modulating telomerase activity using small molecule drugs
Telomeres are distinctive but short stretches present at the corners of chromosomes and aid in stabilizing chromosomal makeup. Resynthesis of telomeres supported by the activity of reverse transcriptase ribonucleoprotein complex telomerase. There is no any telomerase activity in human somatic cells, but the stem cells and germ cells undergone telomerase ...read more
