Kikkawa F [67]

2005

SKOV-3 cell line

Dipepeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV)

Immunoblotting

DPPIV decreases invasion, increases TIMP and E-cadherin

Barbolina M [38]

2006

DOV13 cell line

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)

Q-PCR Zymography Three-dimensional collagen invasion assay

MMP-14 activation by collagen type I was investigated as measured by MMP-2 activation in zymography. This activation was induced only by EGR1 but not by EGR-2–4

Lin S-W [68]

2007

SKOV-3 cell line

Integrin -Linked Kinase (ILK)

Immunoblotting Zymography

ILK knockdown did not influence MMP-14 and MMP-2 expression and activity, but Smad-2 did via transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)

Cowden Dahl [69]

2007

OVCA 433 cell line

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Ets transcription factor PEA3

Q-PCR Zymography Matrigel invasion assay

Overexpression of the Ets transcription factor PEA3 induces EGFR-stimulated MMP-14 mRNA production

Devine K [70]

2008

DOV13 and OVCA 429 cell lines

Sphingosine-1-Phosphate (S1P) G-protein Gi

Zymography Western blot

Low S1P increases MMP-2 activity Gi-dependent, high S1P decreases MMP-14

Agarwal A [40]

2008

SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 in nude mouse model

PAR1-based pepcudins

RT-PCR cell migration assays in vivo mouse model

Cell-penetrating pepducins targeting this cascade resulted in inhibition of PAR1-dependent angiogenesis, ascites and metastasis

Liao X [31]

2009

SKOV-3, OVCA 433 and OVCAR-3 cell lines

Hedgehog proteins Gli1

RT-PCR Matrigel invasion assay

Increased Gli1 expression is correlated with increased MMP-14 expression and proliferation, cell mobility and invasiveness, inhibitors of HH pathway proteins result in a reversed effect

Moss N [71]

2009

OVCA 433 cell line

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)

Flow cytometry Western blot Three-dimensional collagen invasion assay

EGFR results in MMP-14 internalisation. Sustained surface MMP-14 causes enhanced migration and invasion

Jiang L [72]

2010

SKOV-3 and OVCA 420 cell lines

Factor Binding to the Inducer of short transcripts of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (FBI-1)

Western blot Matrigel invasion assay

FBI-1 activates MMP-14 by binding to its promotor and thereby enhancing its expression and the invasive properties of the cell

Poon S-L [73]

2011

OVCAR-3 and CaOV-3 cell lines

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-II beta-catenin

Western blot Matrigel invasion assay

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone-II increases MMP-14 through the β-catenin signalling pathway and tincreases invasion

Nakayama I [74]

2013

OVCAR-3, JHOC-5,-7,-8, JHOS-2,-3,-4 and JHOM-1 cell lines

miRNA-10b (non coding RNA) and HOXD10 (mRNA encoding a transcriptional repressor)

RT-PCR Western blot Matrigel invasion assay

Up-regulation of miR-10b results in loss of HOXD10, induces MMP-14 expression and invasion in ovarian cancer cell lines

Yang Y [75]

2016

SKOV-3, A2780 and OMC685 cell line

Urothelial Carcinoma Associated 1 (UCA1) long noncoding RNA

Q-PCR Westen blot

UCA1 induces MMP-14 expression

Semprucci E [76]

2016

SKOV-3, HEY, CaOV-3 cell lines

Endothelin A receptor beta-arrestin/PDZ-RhoGEF

Confocal scanning laser microscopy

Endothelin A receptor regulates the function of invadopodia, resulting in MMP-related invasion through the β-arrestin/PDZ-RhoGEF pathway

Duan [77]

2018

SKOV-3, OVCAR-3 cell lines and mouse model

miR-122/P4HA1

Migration and invasion assays, Western blot as well as tumour spread in nude mouse model

miR-122 inhibited migration, invasion, EMT, and metastasis in peritoneal cavity of ovarian cancer cells by targeting P4HA1
