MMP-7, MMP-8, and
MMP-9 in oral and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas.
Gelatin zymography assay was performed to evaluate the activity of MMP-2 and
MMP-9 as previously described (12).
In male reproductive system, MMP-2 and
MMP-9 are detected in seminal plasma.
The authors concluded that serum MMPs can be used as adjuvant biomarkers (combined with PSA) for the diagnosis (MMP-13) and prognosis (MMP-2 and
MMP-9) of PCa.
The aim of this study to evaluate mutual relation between IL-6, CRP and
MMP-9 serum levels in patients with CRC and their association with staging and clinical-pathological features of colorectal cancer.
MMP-9 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, Abcam[R], UK).

The association of
MMP-9 and TIMP-1 with severity and outcome of sepsis has already been recognised [7-15].
VEGF, MMP-2,
MMP-9, and TIMP-1 protein levels were measured by western blot analysis.
In the present study, we clarified the inhibitory mechanisms of haloperidol on TNF-[alpha]-induced
MMP-9 expression in human monocytic cells.
Our present study aimed to assess circulating pentraxin-3, galectin-3,
MMP-9 and TIMP-1 concentrations in different stages of CKD, in both dialysis and non-dialysis patients, as well as in a control group.
