Background Recent evidence suggests that vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C)-
dependent tumour production promotes lymphangiogenesis, while membrane-type matrix 1 …

Objective To study the function of MT1-MMP in tumor angiogenesis and elucidate the
possible way of action that MT1-MMP contributes to angiogenesis. Methods MT1-MMP was …

Functional roles for the cancer cell–associated membrane type I matrix metalloproteinase
(MT1-MMP) during early steps of the metastatic cascade in primary tumors remain …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of important proteolytic enzymes that play an
important role in the remodeling of the tumor microenvironment and associate with …

Abstract Background Membrane Type-1 Matrix Metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is a
multifunctional protease implicated in metastatic progression ostensibly due to its ability to …

Membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) has been identified to play a
significant role in several types of cancers, but little is known about the significance of MT1 …

The role of MT2-MMP in cancer progression remains to be elucidated in spite of many
reports on MT1-MMP. Using a human fibrosarcoma cell, HT1080 and a human gastric …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that contribute to
tumorigenesis and metastasis due to their ability to degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) …

The present study aimed to explore the possible effects of membrane‑type 1 matrix
metalloproteinase (MT1‑MMP) on gastric carcinoma cells proliferation and invasion …

The expression and activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by tumor cells is
correlated with invasive and metastatic potential. The purpose of this study was to examine …
