Abstract excerpt
Timp-1 has been implicated as a suppressor of tumor metastasis. To study the relative importance of Timp-1 expression by tumor vs host during tumor invasion, three pairs of co-isogenic, tumorigenic cells containing wild-type or mutant Timp-1 alleles were generated. These were used in experimental metastasis assays in wild-type or Timp-1-deficient mice. Timp-1 expression in tumorigenic cells could either increase...
