Matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with invasive and metastatic behavior of several human malignant tumors. We have determined MMP-2 and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in blood plasma and in renal tissue samples of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from cancerous and non-cancerous parts of the same kidney. In tumor tissue, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 were significantly higher than in normal counterparts. MMP-2 was not different between tumor tissue and normal counterparts. TIMP-2 values could not be measured. In plasma, MMP-9 concentrations were significantly higher in RCC patients than in healthy controls, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 concentrations were higher in healthy controls and TIMP-1 concentrations were not different.
基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)与多种人类恶性肿瘤的侵袭和转移行为相关。我们测定了来自同一肾脏癌性和非癌性部分的肾细胞癌(RCC)患者血浆和肾组织样本中的MMP-2、MMP-9以及MMPs的组织抑制剂(TIMP-1和TIMP-2)。在肿瘤组织中,MMP-9和TIMP-1显著高于正常对应组织。肿瘤组织与正常对应组织之间的MMP-2无差异。TIMP-2值无法测量。在血浆中,RCC患者的MMP-9浓度显著高于健康对照,健康对照的MMP-2和TIMP-2浓度较高,TIMP-1浓度无差异。
