Matrilysin (matrix metalloproteinase-7) plays a part in the initiation and growth of colorectal tumors; expression of this protein has been implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis. To date, matrilysin expression in ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated tumorigenesis has not been studied. The aim of

Human genes MAGE-I and MAGE-3 code for antigens that are recognized on melanoma cells by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes. These antigens may constitute useful targets for specific anti-tumor immunization of cancer patients, since genes MAGE-I and MACE-3 are expressed in a number of tumors of diff
We examined production and tissue localization of 7 different matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -9 and -13) and 2 tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and -2) in human endometrial-carcinoma tissues. Sandwich enzyme immunoassays showed enhanced production of MMP-7, MMP-8 an
We examined the production and tissue localization of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7 β«Ψβ¬ matrilysin) in human gastric carcinomas and analyzed the data in connection with the clinicopathological factors. Sandwich-enzyme immunoassay for the zymogen of MMP-7 (proMMP-7) showed enhanced production of
