Abstract

Metastatic melanoma remains incurable for many due to its aggressive nature. Secreted cathepsins promote metastasis by cleaving matrix and activating pro-invasive proteases. We reported that ABL kinases induce cathepsin secretion and subsequent metastasis by activating ETS1, SP1, and RELA pathways, indicating that ABL inhibitors may serve as novel anti-cathepsin agents.
