Host-derived MMP-13 exhibits a protective role in lung metastasis of melanoma cells by local endostatin production

BACKGROUND: Although matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in tumourigenesis and cancer progression, the role of MMP-13 in melanoma cell metastases is poorly understood. METHODS: Lung metastases of mouse melanoma B16BL6 cells were analysed in MMP-13 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice af...
