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

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.

Matrilysin And Neutrophil Collagenase in Human Herniated Discs.
Hypochlorous acid generated by myeloperoxidase modifies adjacent tryptophan and glycine residues in the catalytic domain of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (
matrilysin): an oxidative mechanism for restraining proteolytic activity during inflammation.
