Expression patterns of stromal MMP-2 and tumoural MMP-2 and -9 are significant prognostic factors in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast

Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are matrix-degrading enzymes that play a pivotal role in aggressive behaviours, such as rapid tumour growth, invasion, and metastasis, of several types of solid tumours. In particular, stromal MMP-2 plays important roles in the progression of malignant tumours, but most clinical studies have focused on tumoural MMP-2 and -9 expression, and not stromal MMP-2 expression. One hundred and seventy-seven cases diagnosed as invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast between 2000 and 2005… Show more

“…This fits with the recent finding that MMP-2 in breast cancer metastasis is predominantly expressed in the tumor stroma, and that MMP-2 plays an important role in breast cancer tumor growth, progression, and metastasis [25]. Furthermore, stromal MMP-2 expression has been closely associated with different clinicopathologic parameters and overall survival of breast cancer patients [26]. Thus, co-localization of ADSCs and BRCAs might increase BRCA malignant progression in vivo by increasing the overall level of MMP-2.…”

“…The results showed that overexpression of WNT5B significantly increased the invasive and metastatic ability of the COLO 205 cells in vitro. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases (16,17), play an important role in proteolytic degradation of the basement membrane and extracellular matrix (ECM), which is the initial step of tumor invasion and metastasis. In particular, MMP 2 and MMP 9 have been considered to be associated with increased invasiveness in various cancer cells (18).…”
