Matriptase is a type II transmembrane serine protease. Through HAI-1, the matriptase activity is well regulated. An imbalance between matriptase and HAI-1 levels results in abnormal matriptase activation, contributing to cancer development and malignant progression. Matriptase-activated HGF or PAR-2 could promote tumor cell growth and survival through the c-Met receptor or the G-protein-coupled receptor signal pathway. Furthermore, HGF induces cell mobility and coordinates with the matriptase-activated uPA/plasmin system to facilitate cancer cell invasion by degrading extracellular matrix.
