Necrosis Induction in Glioblastoma Cells Reveals a New “Bioswitch” Function for the MT1-MMP/G6PT Signaling Axis in proMMP-2 Activation versus Cell Death Decision

Cytoskeleton disorganization is an early step in the activation process of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) by membrane type 1 MMP (MTi-MMP) but is also associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) dysfunction and subsequent cell death. Given evidence that the ER-embedded glucose-6-phosphate transp...
