Altered Metastatic Behavior of Human Breast Cancer Cells after Experimental Manipulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase 8 Gene Expression
1 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Previous work in our laboratory led to the cloning, from the same parent tumor cell line (MDA-MB-435), of two human breast cancer cell lines (M-4A4 and NM-2C5) with opposite metastatic phenotypes. Additional investigations revealed that the nonmetastatic cell line NM-2C5 overexpressed the neutrophil collagenase, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8, relative to its partner. Because other studies have implicated the...
