In fibroblasts PTEN inhibit ETS2 expression; and AKT and JNK induce phosphorylqtion of ETS2. MMP9 and CCL3 are the direct targets of this transcription factor.

MMPs plays important in the degradation and remodeling of the
extracellular matrix at sites of inflammation. HMOX1 (HO1) mediates IL-10-induced suppression
of MMP9 expression.

A key mediator secreted from neutrophils and involved in carcinogenesis
is MMP-9. It was demonstrated to be involved in skin tumorigenesis,
by regulation of oncogene-induced keratinocyte hyperproliferation
and their progression to invasive cancer (71). In addition to its effects
on matrix, it has been shown that MMP-9 secreted from neutrophils
(among other bone marrow cells) prevents apoptosis of tumor cells in
the lung (72).
