## Abstract The production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by prostatic epithelial and/or neighboring stromal cells is considered to be a property that gives cells the capability to penetrate extracellular matrix barriers in normal or neoplastic growth. In order to examine the role of MMPs in t

We have investigated the production of metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and a healthy control. The new findings of this paper is that BMSCs of the MM pa
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
