MMP-2 release and activation in ovarian carcinoma: the role of fibroblasts

The matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2 is up-regulated in epithelial cancers and its mRNA localizes to stromal fibroblasts. In this paper we show that co-culture of ovarian carcinoma cells with fibroblasts resulted in an enhanced release of proMMP-2 and TIMP-2 into the culture medium. Cell–cell interact...
