Analysis of MMP-dependent cell migration and invasion.

Methods in Molecular Biology
Ralf Palmisano, Yoshifumi Itoh

Abstract

Analysing cell migration and invasion is of interest to many investigators as they mimic a part of physiological or pathological events. In this chapter, methods to analyse MMP-dependent 2D and 3D cell migration are described in detail. To study 2D cell migration, the phagokinetic track motility assay can be used. To study 3D cell migration, Matrigel invasion assay or microcarrier beads invasion assay can be used to obtain quantitative results.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
