## Abstract Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), an autosomal dominant disorder, is characterized by the development of numerous cutaneous basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). To better characterize this disorder, we examined the expression of matrix metalloproteinaseβ3 (MMPβ3; also known as stro

Tumor-stromal interactions have been suggested to be a critical factor in both tumor invasion and tumor metastasis. Here, we examined the role of tumor-stromal interactions using co-cultures of prostate cancer (PC) cells derived from primary and metastatic tumors with primary or immortalized stromal
Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) plays a crucial role in invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. Membrane type 1-MMP (MT1-MMP) was originally identified as an activator of MMP-2. Tissue inhibitor of MMP-2 (TIMP-2) was identified as an inhibitor of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP. However, TIMP-2 was report
