Background. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), especially gelatinase A and gelatinase B (GLB), are believed to be important components of the metastatic process. Tissue Inhibitors of Metalloproteinases (TIMPs) form complexes with MMPs and inhibit cancer dissemination. After local secretion, MMPs and
We analyzed blood plasma concentrations of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -3 (MMP-1; MMP-3), the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) and the complex MMP-1/ TIMP-1, and looked for any correlation with prostate cancer stage. These components were measured by ELISA tests specific for these
