Role of Matrix Metallopeptidase 12 in the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Conclusions: Higher levels of MMP-12 expression indicated a poorer prognosis. PD-L1 expression was positively correlated with MMP-12 expression, indicating that MMP-12 may promote the development of HCC through the up-regulation of PD-L1. PMID: 31304819 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
