Epithelial cell lines (BC1, BC3, BC4, and BC5), derived from 4 separate invasive and metastatic rat mammary carcinomas, all secreted interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase 1, MMP 1) in culture. Neither a cloned cell line (A5P/B10), derived from a noninvasive rat epithelial tumor, nor nonneoplastic rat fibroblasts secreted the enzyme. Western blot analyses of proteins extracted from the plasma...
