## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) which degrades protein components of the extraβcellular matrix and basement membrane seems to be largely involved in cancer invasiveness. MMP proteolitic activity essentially comes from stromal cells but matrilysin (MMPβ7) is produced by the tumor itself.
Expression of mRNA for the 5 somatostatin receptors (sst 1-5 ) was characterized by Northern blot and RT-PCR analysis in 20 meningioma and 9 glioma samples. sst 1 mRNA was detectable by Northern blots of poly-A Ψ RNA in meningiomas but not gliomas. In contrast, sst 2 mRNA was readily detected by Nor
We have previously shown that aB-crystallin is a heat-shock protein which specifically accumulates in response to the expression of c-Ha-ras and v-mos oncogenes in mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Elevated levels of aB-crystallin mRNA or protein were shown to be associated with pathological conditions of
