Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) strongly influences tumor development and metastasis. Using resistant (rMCF-7) and sensitive (sMCF-7) breast cancer lines we investigated the role of MMP-9 in cell migration (CM) and tubular network (TN) formation, two processes implied in tumor growth and metastasis. Our data demonstrate that MMP-9 which is critical for CM is necessary but not sufficient for TN formation and suggest a link between MDR1/P-gp and constitutive MMP-9. Both TN formation and CM are dependent on PKC and ERK1/2 pathways. This study reinforces the logic of combining therefore MMP inhibitors in cancer therapy, especially in patients with chemoresistance and invasion/metastasis. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
