Abstract

The extracellular matrix (ECM) distinctly modulates membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) in human endothelial cells (ECs). Herein, ECM-dependent RhoA activation is shown to regulate MT1-MMP localization and activity as well as clathrin-independent internalization in confluent ECs. In this regard, caveolae are revealed as the major MT1-MMP endocytic pathway in human ECs. Thus, MT1-MMP is present at caveolae with caveolin-1 and both proteins together with αvβ3 integrin colocalize at endothelial motility-associated extensions. Remarkably, caveolae traffic is required for proper MT1-MMP localization, activity, and function in migratory ECs as demonstrated by both treatment with caveolae-disrupting agents or selective targeting caveolin-1 expression by interference RNA. Thus, caveolae-mediated traffic constitutes a novel mechanism for MT1-MMP regulation in ECs during angiogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
