Effects of S100 calcium-binding protein A8 (S100A8) and S100 calcium-binding protein A9 (S100A9) on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that S100A8 and S100A9 are highly expressed in a variety of tumors, including NPC, and are associated with tumor invasion and migration. MMPs are associated with the invasion and migration of tumor cells. To further investigate the mechanism by which S100A8 and S100A9 affect the invasion and migration of NPC cells, the present study examined the effects of S100A8 and S100A9 on MMPs...
