Human matrix metalloproteinase-21 (MMP-21), the newest member of the MMP gene family, has been suggested to play an important role in embryogenesis and tumor progression and to be a target of the Wnt, Pax, and Notch signaling pathways. Here we report detection of MMP-21 by RT-PCR in mouse embryos aged 10.5, 12.5, 13.5, and 16.5 days, as well as in various adult murine organs. In both humans and mice, MMP-21 protein was detected in the epithelial cells of developing kidney, intestine, neuroectoderm, and skin but not in normal adult skin using immunohistochemistry with two unrelated antibodies. However, it was present in invasive cancer cells of aggressive subtypes of basal and squamous cell carcinomas, although it was not expressed in skin disorders characterized by mere keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Of several cytokines tested, transforming growth factor-β1 induced MMP-21 in vitro in HaCaTs and keratinocytes as judged by real-time quantitative TaqMan PCR. Although suprabasal differentiating keratinocytes expressed MMP-21 in developing skin in vivo, MMP-21–positive keratinocytes were detected by immunohistochemistry in both low and high calcium cultures. MMP-21 expression was not up-regulated by ras transformation in HaCaT cell lines (HaCaT, A5, II-4, and RT3); in skin and colon cancers, its expression did not associate with apoptosis, β-catenin transactivation, or epithelial MMPs-9 and -10. However, MMP-21 protein was found in the same regions as MMP-7 but not in the same cells. Our results suggest that during development, MMP-21 expression is temporally and spatially tightly controlled. Unlike many classical MMPs, it is present in various normal adult tissues. Among epithelial MMPs, MMP-21 has a unique expression pattern in cancer.
