Suppressed Expression but Not Activity of Collagenases MMP-1 and MMP-13 in Human Renal Carcinoma

Conclusions: The lower content and higher activity of the collagenases investigated in cancer tissue indicate that most of these enzymes are in active form in renal carcinoma. The lower collagen content in cancer tissue can be explained at least in part by increased collagenase activity.Pathobiology
