Interstitial Collagenase Gene Expression Correlates With In Vitro Invasion in Human Chondrosarcoma

Abstract excerpt

Matrix metalloproteinases contribute to the processes of local invasion and metastasis by providing cells with the ability to traverse tissue boundaries. The levels of gene expression were quantitated for matrix metalloproteinases-1 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases-1 in human chondrosarcoma cell lines, and the results were correlated with cell differentiation, collagenase activity, and in vitro...
