For instance, MKL1 could be recruited onto the promoter of the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) gene in ovarian cancer cells as a response to hypoxia, and promote MMP2 gene transcription and ovarian cancer cell migration and invasion by recruiting the SET1 and BRG1, which serve as histone methyltransferase and chromatin remodeling protein respectively [31]. Here, MMP2 is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
