Inhibition of metastasis in human gastric cancer cells transfected with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 gene in nude mice
15 Apr 1996
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) act as negative regulators of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade extracellular matrix. We evaluated the metastatic ability of the highly metastatic human gastric cell line KKLS, and that of cells transfected with exogenous TIMP-1 gene by the orthotopic transplantation model in nude mice. METHODS: KKLS was derived from human gastric cancer....
