Abstract:Background: Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are encoded by a family of genes that are related to cancer progression, and the overexpression of most MMP genes in cancers is associated with the promotion of invasion, angiogenesis, and immune surveillance avoidance. However, the expression patterns of all MMP genes at the transcriptome and single-cell levels have not been investigated from a pan-cancer perspective. Methods: The Cancer Genome Atlas transcriptome and single-cell sequencing pan-cancer data from the G… Show more
