Coexpression of Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 and Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 as a Prognostic Biomarker in Gastric Cancer

Abstract: Background. Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), an essential step in tumour invasion and metastasis, is mainly dependent on the activities of both matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). This study aimed to explore whether expression of MMP-7 and TIMP-1 alone and in combination can be used as a prognostic marker for gastric cancer (GC). Method. A total of 285 patients who had undergone tumourectomy for GC were included. Gastric tumour tissues were staine… Show more

“…Interestingly, among the other pathways we found an increased expression of OLR1, that facilitates metastasis of gastric cancer through driving EMT and PI3K/AKT/GSK3β activation ( 108 ), and MMP7, identified as prognostic marker in gastric cancer when co-expressed with TIMP1 ( 98 ). Conversely HMGCS2, identified as tumor suppressor with prognostic impact in prostate cancer, resulted downregulated also in intestinal gastric cancer subset ( 109 ).…”

“…Among inflammatory pathways, we found also an overexpression of several genes identified as diagnostic or prognostic markers of gastric cancer including E2F1, that induces upregulation of lncRNA HCG18 thus stimulating proliferation and migration of gastric cancer ( 96 ), TIMP1, a key gene in the development of gastric cancer recognized as a potential prognostic marker when co-expressed with MMP-7 ( 97 , 98 ), S100A9, a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in gastric cancer ( 99 , 100 ), and SERPINE1, highly expressed and significantly related to a poor prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma ( 90 ). Interestingly, also LAMA5 that promotes colorectal liver metastasis growth, resulted upregulated in intestinal gastric cancer ( 101 ).…”

“…Cancer cells can synthesize MMPs and degrade ECM. By degrading ECM proteins and regulating the activity of other biomolecules, MMP7 is regarded as a central molecule associated with the stromal invasion of GC cells and PM formation [ 80 , 81 , 82 ].…”
