Abstract:
The specific spatiotemporal role of the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 (gelatinase) during metastasis is still under debate. Host cells have been described as major contributors to these MMPs during metastasis. Here, we show strong overexpression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by tumor cells of clinical liver specimen of recurrent metachronous metastases, leading us to address the importance of tumor cell-derived MMP-2 or MMP-9 during liver metastasis. Thus far, distinction of their roles was...     »
