Matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 activity in patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis

Abstract: These data suggest a role for MMPs in colorectal cancer liver metastasis, but indicate different roles for individual MMPs.

“…Furthermore, the upregulation of these MMPS has been associated with the poor prognosis of patients with bladder cancer (19)(20)(21). Therefore, the inhibition of MMP expression may be considered an early target for the prevention of cancer metastasis (22,23). The present study demonstrated that resveratrol decreased the secretion of MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein in a dose-dependent manner in T24 cells.…”

“…It was suggested that the enhanced cell surface expression of MMPs and TIMPs on inflammatory cells in cancer tissue might be a result of a host response induced by tumors [19]. Increased expression of MMP-2 might play a key role in colorectal cancer invasion and/or metastasis [20,21]. Moreover, it was shown that in colon and rectal tumor tissues MMP-2 protein levels were higher, while TIMP-2 significantly lower than in corresponding paired normal mucosa [22].…”

“…Although its role in metastatic tumor cell growth is still unclear, increased MMP expression is frequently accompanied by tumor metastasis and suppression of MMP expression could be used as a growth inhibitory treatment to prevent tumor metastasis. 23,27,28 When pshHIF-1a was administered to tumor-bearing mice by the hydrodynamics-based procedure, a significant reduction in the number of tumor cells was observed (Figure 6a). This result indicates that HIF-1a expression in either tumor cells or hepatic normal cells or in both types of cells plays an important role in tumor progression.…”
