“…Pardo and colleagues (40) reported high gene expression of MMP-2 in type II alveolar epithelial cells (e.g., A549 cells). In addition, MMP-2 and MMP-9 have been associated with increased tumor spread and poor prognosis in lung cancer (7,8). Furthermore, previous studies have shown a significant prognostic value for MMP-2 in NSCLC (41).…”

“…Indeed, expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 is associated with high metastasis potential in several human carcinomas (6). In addition, MMP-2/9 upregulation in NSCLC is significantly associated with poor clinical improvement of patients (7,8). MMPs are primarily regulated at the transcriptional level through activation protein-1 (AP-1) or NF-kB (9).…”

“…Previous studies also reported that the -634 G/C polymorphism was associated with the clinical outcome of colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (Rollin et al, 2007;Langers et al, 2012). One previous meta-analysis found that overexpression of MMP-9 is associated with a poor prognosis for ESCC (Zeng et al, 2013).…”

“…The expression of TFPI-2 in tumors is inversely related to an increasing degree of malignancy, which may suggest that TFPI-2 can inhibit growth of neoplasms. TFPI-2 is an inhibitor of MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) which can promote invasiveness of tumor through matrix degradation (14). The levels of TFPI-2 were very low or undetectable in many tumor cells but markedly upregulated in normal cells.…”
