Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases which are widely studied in terms of their role in the physiological and pathological processes in the organism. In this article, we consider usefulness of matrilysins and stromelysins in pathogenesis and diagnostic of the most common malignancies in the world, e.g., lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. In all of the mentioned cancers, matrilysins and stromelysins have a pivotal role in their development and also may have diagnostic utility. Influence to the cancerous process is connected with specific dependencies between these enzymes and components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), non-matrix components like cell surface components. All the information provided below allows to take a closer look at matrilysins and stromelysins and their functions in the cancer development.
基质金属蛋白酶（MMPs）是一种内肽酶，因其在生物体生理和病理过程中的作用而受到广泛研究。在本文中，我们探讨了基质溶素和基质溶解素在世界上最常见的恶性肿瘤（如肺癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌和结直肠癌）的发病机制和诊断中的作用。在所有上述癌症中，基质溶素和基质溶解素在其发展过程中起关键作用，并且可能具有诊断价值。对癌过程的影响与这些酶和细胞外基质（ECM）成分、细胞表面成分等非基质成分之间的特定依赖性有关。以下提供的所有信息有助于更深入地了解基质溶素和基质溶解素及其在癌症发展中的功能。
