Estrogen-stimulation of ESR1 activates downstream signaling pathways that results in the release of HB-EGF in an IGF- MMP- and EGFR-dependent manner (Razandi et al, 2003; Song et al, 2004; Song et al, 2007; Santen et al, 2009). Based on studies in other systems, candidate MMPs for the cleavage of HB-EGF include MMP2, MMP3, MMP7 and MMP9 (Suzuki et al, 1997; Yu et al, 2002; Razandi et al, 2003). Although direct cleavage of HB-EGF by MMPs downstream of estrogen signaling has not been demonstrated, estrogen-stimulated signaling through EGFR is abrogated after treatment of cells with an HB-EGF neutralizing antibody (Razandi et al, 2003; Song et al, 2007).
