Expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 is a prognostic factor in patients with non‐Hodgkin lymphoma

Abstract: BACKGROUND Non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represents a heterogeneous group of tumors that vary with regard to their biologic aggressiveness and clinical course. In in vitro studies, matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) was reportedly expressed by human NHL cells and elevated levels of MMP9 have been observed in a subset of patients with high‐grade NHL. METHODS The expression of MMP2 and MMP9 was evaluated in 158 patients with NHL and the relation between the expression of these proteins and clinicopathologic factors … Show more

“…MMP9 is also critical for B-CLL invasion and progression and has been defined as a prognostic factor in patients with nonHodgkin's lymphoma (Sakata et al, 2004;RedondoMunoz et al, 2006). The transcriptional induction of MMP9 is regulated by NF-kB in HTLV-I-or in Epstein-Barr virus-infected cells (Yoshizaki et al, 1998;Mori et al, 2002) as well as on TNFa stimulation in skeletal muscle cells (Srivastava et al, 2007).…”

“…Proteolytic enzymes: Tumor invasion and metastasis are facilitated by the up-regulation of various types of proteases, which induce the escape of cancer cells from the primary site, by breaking down the connective tissue and basement membrane, such as metalloproteinases and cathepsins both of which appear to be affected in NKTCL [114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124].…”
