Abstract excerpt
Stromelysin-3 (ST-3) is thought to play an important role in invasion and tumor progression. We have analyzed ST-3 expression in fibroblasts with defined topographical relations to breast cancers. We demonstrate that these fibroblasts exhibit the same distinctive pattern of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression that we have previously shown for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II). Tumor-derived...
