A Strong Decrease in TIMP3 Expression Mediated by the Presence of miR-17 and 20a Enables Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in the NSCLC Lesion Surroundings
13 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
Lung cancer is one of the most common causes of death worldwide with a relatively high fatality rate and a mean 5-year survival of about 18%. One of the hallmarks of cancer is the extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, which is crucial for metastasis. This process may be regulated by miRs targeting metalloproteinases (MMPs) associated with the ECM breakdown and metastatic process or blocking the action of tissue...
