## Background: Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ecm) is essential for progression and metastasis of cancer cells. the ecm-degrading enzymes, matrix metalloproteinases (mmps), are produced mainly by intratumor monocytes/macrophages. mmps, particularly mmp-9, are reported to be of crucial sig
We examined the production and tissue localization of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in gastric carcinoma tissues. MMP-I (tissue collagenase), MMP-9 (gelatinase B) and TIMP-2 were immunolocalized in carcinoma cells and MMP-2 (gelatinase A) on tum
