Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play roles in spatially dynamic processes, including morphogenesis, wound healing, and tumor invasion. Three-dimensional (3-D) type I collagen stimulates cellular activation of MMP-2, however, the mechanisms underlying this are controversial. The present study investigated mechanisms for 3-D collagen-induced MMP-2 activation in highly invasive human malignant mesothelioma cells. MMP-2 was effectively activated by cells cultured in 3-D collagen but not in 2-D collagen, whereas MMP-2 activation was not regulated by the flexibility of collagen. The 3-D collagen did not largely increase the gene expression of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP. However, MT1-MMP exposed to the cell surface was much increased by 3-D collagen, and loss of MT1-MMP abolished MMP-2 activation in response to 3-D collagen. MT1-MMP and integrin β1 translocated to pericellular regions interacting with collagen-coated microbeads, however their localization was different. Importantly, inhibition of integrin β1 function and expression did not affect 3-D collagen-induced cell surface localization of MT1-MMP and MMP-2 activation. Our results strongly suggest that 3-D collagen scaffolding may provide opportunity for direct and multivalent interaction with MT1-MMP, by which MMP-2 activation occur in abundant cell surface MT1-MMP-dependent manner, rather than a manner regulated by matrix stiffness and integrin β1 function. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
