Downregulation of CD9 in keratinocyte contributes to cell migration via upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9.

Tetraspanin CD9 has been implicated in various cellular and physiological processes, including cell migration. In our previous study, we found that wound repair is delayed in CD9-null mice, suggesting that CD9 is critical for cutaneous wound healing. However, many cell types, including immune cells,...
