Association of
matrilysin expression with recurrence and poor prognosis in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
A study involving 156 patients, who underwent radical nephrectomy due to RCC, was focused on the assessment of
matrilysin 1 in relation to the aggressiveness and malignancy of this tumour.
Matrilysin (MMP7) promotes invasion of ovarian cancer cells by activation of progelatinase.
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 moderates airway reepithelialization by regulating
matrilysin activity.
Still, other studies report that

matrilysin 2, a putative cancer biomarker," Analytical Biochemistry, vol.
Among the MMPs, MMP-7, known as
matrilysin, has a broad spectrum of proteolytic activity capable of cleaving various types of extracellular matrix [15].
Collagenases, gelatinases, stromelysin-3,
matrilysin, MT1-MMP [99], and stromelysin-1 [100] are considered the most closely associated to the invasive phenotype.
