Since it also regulates expression of at least two matrix metalloproteases implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis (collagenase 3, membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase), we propose that the relationship between BSP expression and an invasive behavior in human epithelial cancer cells may be rooted in a common transcriptional control exerted by Cbfa1.
