Matrix metalloproteinase polymorphisms and bladder cancer risk.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) contribute to tumor microenvironment and are associated with bladder cancer. A study examining the association between MMP polymorphisms and bladder cancer risk has never been published. We analyzed the association of 11 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one microsatellite polymorphism in MMP genes MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9, and MMP-12 with bladd...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase polymorphisms are associated with bladder cancer invasiveness.
PURPOSE Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) promote tumor invasion and alter microenvironment. MMP levels are elevated in bladder cancer patients correlating with more advanced stage. We tested whether polymorphisms in MMP genes modify the risk of bladder cancer invasiveness and whether smoke exposure modifies this risk. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using a case-only study, we examined the association of ...
متن کاملMissense polymorphisms in matrix metalloproteinase genes and skin cancer risk.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) degrade various components of the extracellular matrix, and their overexpression has been implicated in tumor progression. Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) lead to amino acid substitutions that can alter the function of the encoded protein. We evaluated the associations of six nonsynonymous SNPs in the MMP3, MMP8, and MMP9 genes with skin canc...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase gene polymorphisms and oral cancer
Since oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignant cancer in the oral cavity, several researches have been performed to study the role of important enzymes in this disease. Among them, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are highlighted, due to the fact that they are proteinases responsible to degrade many extra-cellular matrix components, making possible the invasion of...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-2 polymorphisms and breast cancer susceptibility.
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a well-known mediator of cancer metastasis but is also thought to be involved in several aspects of cancer development, including cell growth and inflammation. We comprehensively characterized genetic variation across the MMP-2 gene and evaluated associations with breast cancer risk using a two-phase (phase 1 and phase 2) study design. A total of 39 polymor...
