30 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is a multifunctional protein that can directly regulate apoptosis and metastasis. In this study, we investigated the functional and molecular mechanisms by which TIMP-1 influences triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). METHODS: The expression level of TIMP-1 in breast cancer tissues was analyzed using the ONCOMINE microarray database. The overall...
