## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is critical for carcinoma progression. In our study, we evaluated the prognostic significance of the major MMP family such as MMPβ3, MMPβ9, MMPβ11 and MT1βMMP at the mRNA in 44 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) that were previously characterized fo
Enhanced expression of the type IV collagenases MMP-2 and MMP-9, or lack of their inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, has been associated with tumour invasion and metastatic potential in several experimental models. Regulation of enzyme activity is clearly a key step in tumour invasion, and recently a pot
## Abstract Tumor progression and recurrence of cervical cancer is associated with upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMPβ2). We evaluated the location, origin and activity of MMPβ2 in cervical squamous cell carcinomas in comparison with MT1βMMP (MMPβ14), TIMPβ2 and extracellular matrix me
