“…However, few studies other than the first report by Tanimoto et al (32) have investigated the role of MMP-7 in EOC. The significant difference of MMP-7 genotype and allelotype distribution in ovarian cancer patients from that in healthy controls found by Li et al (84) suggests a possible association between the MMP-7 A/G with susceptibility to EOC. We have previously shown that MMP-7 is overexpressed in the invasive front of EOC and promotes invasion.…”

“…The G allele of the MMP7 -181 A/G SNP creates a putative binding site for a heat shock transcription factor, thereby increasing MMP7 gene promoter activity and transcription compared to the -181 A allele [34]. The G allele has been reported as a potential risk factor for several gynecological disorders, including endometriosis and adenomyosis [32], as well as endometrial [27], ovarian [26], and cervical cancers [28]. Moreover, the presence of the G allele has been associated with increased levels of malondialdehyde, a marker of lipid peroxidation, in severe preeclampsia [33].…”

“…Conditions were taken from previous studies and were slightly modified [26,29] (Table 1). Polymerase chain reaction was carried in thermal cyclers (Mastercycle Personal, Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany and 2720 Thermal Cycler, Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA).…”

“…The matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) family comprise of more than 20 enzymes that are capable of degrading extracellular matrix proteins (Li et al, 2006;Singh et al, 2008;Wu et al, 2011). MMPs not only play important roles in physiological ECM remodelling, such as wound repair, tissue regeneration and embryo development, but are also associated with pathological conditions, such as arthritis, atherosclerosis and autoimmune blistering disorders of the skin.…”
