Background and Aims Membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), a surface-anchored "master switch" proteinase, is overexpressed and plays crucial roles in tumor invasion.However, the regulatory mechanism of expression and trafficking of MT1-MMP remains poorly understood.Here, we characterized the effect of leptin on MT1-MMP expression in GC and focused on elucidating the underlying mechanisms.
