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
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that play critical roles in the pathogenesis of human cancers. Clinical trials using synthetic small molecule MMP inhibitors have been carried out but with little success. Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are endoge
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-I (TIMP-I) is known to have at least 2 distinct types of activity, i.e., as a regulator of collagenolytic activity, and erythroid potentiating activity (EPA). In this study, we examined the expression of TIMP-I in human mammary carcinomas, non-malignant breast
