MT1‑MMP subcellular localisation varies with oxygen tension, and, therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess protein interactions between MT1‑MMP and the hypoxia inducible factors (HIF‑1α and HIF‑2α). MT1‑MMP protein expression was investigated across a panel of cancer cell lines, including a positive and negative control. The hypoxia‑induced alteration in subcellular location of MT1‑MMP, HIF‑1α and HIF‑2α in the U2OS osteosarcoma cell line was assessed using subcellular fractionation. A proximity ligation assay was utilised to assess protein to protein interactions in the osteosarcoma U2OS and prostate carcinoma PC3 cell lines. U2OS and PC3 cells exhib‑ ited a significantly increased intra‑nuclear interaction between MT1‑MMP and HIF‑2α in response to hypoxia. The role of this warrants further investigation as it may unveil novel opportuni‑ ties to target MT1‑MMP, which is of particular significance for osteosarcoma since current treatment options are limited.
