Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (matrilysin) has been implicated in tumor invasion and
metastasis as well as tumor initiation and growth. In this study, we analyzed an association …

Expression of matrilysin-2, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-26, has been implicated in the
progression of several types of human cancer. Matrilysin-2 has been reported to be a …

Matrilysin is one of matrix metalloproteinases, which is supposed to have a specific role in
tumor progression. Expression of matrilysin was investigated in gastric and esophageal …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in tumor progression. Matrilysin,
one of the matrix metalloproteinases, is frequently overexpressed in gastrointestinal …

BACKGROUND Matrilysin is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase gene family which is
believed to play an important role in tumor progression. Matrilysin mRNA has been reported …

Matrilysin is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase gene family which is believed to play
an important role in tumor progression. Expression of matrilysin mRNA was examined by …

BACKGROUND/AIM Matrilysin is one of the matrix metalloproteinases that has a critical role
in tumour invasion, and is often expressed in gastrointestinal cancers. The aim of this study …

Matrilysin and gelatinase A, B mRNA expressions were examined in colorectal tumors.
Matrilysin mRNA was observed exclusively in tumors, while the others were also found in …

Matrix metalloproteinases play a crucial role in tumour invasion and mestasis. Matrilysin
(MMP-7) has been shown to correlate with nodal or distant metastasis in colorectal …

Matrilysin is believed to have a role in tumor progression. Its expression correlates with the
occurrence of colorectal cancer. We have examined the expression of matrilysin mRNA in …
