The PEA3 Subfamily of Ets Transcription Factors Synergizes with β-Catenin–LEF-1 To Activate Matrilysin Transcription in Intestinal Tumors

Abstract

The matrix metalloproteinase matrilysin (MMP-7) is expressed in the tumor cells of a majority of mouse intestinal and human colonic adenomas. We showed previously that matrilysin is a target gene of beta-catenin-Tcf, the transcription factor complex whose activity is thought to play a crucial role in the initiation of intestinal tumorigenesis. Here we report that overexpression of a stable mutant form of beta-catenin alone was not sufficient to …
