“…Thus, it is likely that the substantial inhibition of aggressive human breast tumor growth by anti-ANX A2 mAb treatment is due to inhibition of plasmin-mediated regulation of MMP-9/2 activation. Our observations are consistent with clinical findings wherein both MMP-9 and MMP-2 have been implicated in aggressive breast tumor growth and have been suggested to be significant prognostic indicators of invasive carcinoma and risk factors for breast cancer [37,64,72,77]. Of particular note, MMP-9 is highly expressed in triple negative breast cancer [82] and is associated with distant metastases with shorter progression free survival and overall survival (OS) in patients [83,84].…”

“…Previously, it has been reported that MMP-9/2 plays an important role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis, possibly due to induction of neoangiogenesis [75,76]. Indeed, the 1562T allele of MMP-9 and 735C allele of MMP-2 have been shown to be risk factors for breast cancer patients [77]. Consistent with the observations, a study of 270 breast cancer patients demonstrated overexpression of MMP-9/2 with a prognosis for shorter relapse free survival [78].…”

“…MMP9 is mainly regulated at the transcriptional level; polymorphisms located in the promoter region have been associated with myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke, coronary artery disease, lung disorders and a variety of carcinomas (i.e. gastric, breast, urinary) [11,64,66,67]. Short alleles (MMP9 Ã 14) in epithelial cells have shown increased expression activity (two and threefold more) compared to than those with larger repeats (MMP9 Ã 20) [68].…”

“…17 Studies have demonstrated that degradation of extra cellular matrix and basement membrane by MMPs play an important role in tumorigenesis by modulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, tumor invasion and metastasis. 18 The role played by MMP-9 in the malignancy and the growth of the tumor is an important one. 14 Numerous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have already been identified in the MMP-9 gene, and the most common variant is 1562 C/T (rs 3918242).…”
