MMP3 is active in the ECM of high motility glioma. (A) SDS-PAGE/Western blot demonstrates the binary increases of MMP3 in C6-13 vs. C6 glioma conditioned media (CM) in 3 biological replicates. (B) Increases in gelatinase activity associated with MMP3 is observed in the conditioned media of C6-13, but not C6 cells. (C) Cleavage of the MMP3-specific fluorgenic substrate (NFF-3) demonstrates increased proteolytic activity in C6-13 CM. Limited cleavage of NFF-3 is observed with C6. Fresh, unconditioned media served as a negative control for each time point. (D) Representative, quantitative values from the 2 h time point demonstrates robust increases in MMP3 activity with C6-13.
