Novel STAT binding elements mediate IL-6 regulation of MMP-1 and MMP-3

Abstract Dynamic remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key feature of cancer progression. Enzymes that modify the ECM, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), have long been recognised as important targets of anticancer therapy.
