The basally located, myoepithelial cells appear to present high levels of this enzyme on their surfaces. 63 In contrast, MMP-7 has an epithelial localization. 64 The MMPs are thought to play central roles in mammary development, particularly in the apoptotic process of tissue involution, where they contribute to dissolution of unwanted milk secretory cells. 64,65 As is discussed later in the text (see section Defective Regulation of Tissue Compartmentalization in Cancer ), breast cancer is characterized by progressive loss of controls of basement membrane and of hormones on proliferation and epithelial differentiation (a process termed an epithelial-mesenchymal transition), by genomic instability (mutations, deletions, amplifications, and chromosomal rearrangements), by alteration in nuclear matrix structure and function (to regulate gene transcription), and by loss of normal tissue organization and compartmentalization (metastasis).
