Type:

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an enzyme that plays a significant role in the degradation of extracellular matrix components.
MMP-9 facilitates the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, which can enable cancer cells to invade surrounding tissues and spread to distant sites (metastasis).
Elevated levels of MMP-9 have been associated with poor prognosis in several cancers, including breast, lung, and colorectal cancers.
MMP2 and MMP9: two enzymes are critical to tumor invasion.

EGCG,

EGCG maintained Nrf2-mediated redox homeostasis and minimized etoposide resistance in lung cancer cells

NRF2⇅, In A549, EGCG downregulated nuclear Nrf2 by upregulating the nuclear localization of Keap1 whereas in NCIH23, EGCG augmented Nrf2 by reducing Keap1.
eff↑, Though the direction of Nrf2 regulation was opposite in two cell lines, optimum level of Nrf2 was maintained which increased responsiveness towards etoposide. EGCG sensitized/potentiated lung adenocarcinoma cells towards chemotherapy by inducing G2/
SOD1↑, n NCIH23, the downstream targets of Nrf2, NQO1 and MRP1 did not show any significant alteration in expression with respect to control, with an exception of SOD1(upregulated by 1.28 times)
SOD1↓, EGCG showed exactly opposite effect in A549. It again effectively fitted in a U-shaped hormetic downregulation for all three downstream targets. EGCG (0.5 Î¼M/12 h) most effectively downregulated SOD-1, NQO1 and MRP1expression
MMP2⇅, However, EGCG (0.5 Î¼M) itself increased the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9. The lowest dose of EGCG required to inhibit MMP-2 and MMP-9 was reported, 8â13 Î¼M in different cancer cell lines
