Key Points

The aim is to synthesize the N-terminal domain of TIMP2 to better understand its role in tumor cell migration and invasion.
Utilized chemical synthesis techniques to create the N-terminal domain of TIMP2.
Analyzed the effects of synthesized TIMP2 on tumor cell behavior.
Demonstrated that MMP14 interacts with TIMP2, influencing tumor cell migration.
Observed changes in tumor cell invasion upon introduction of the synthesized TIMP2.

Abstract

The migration and invasion of tumor cells are major contributors to mortality in malignant tumors. Studies have shown that matrix metalloproteinase 14 (MMP14) plays a crucial role in promoting tumor...
