These data identify MMP2, MMP10, MMP15, MMP26, MMP23, TIMP3, TIMP4, hepsin, MTSP1, PAI1, uPAR and maspin as genes that require further study at the protein level and via immunohistochemical analysis to elucidate their contributions to prostate cancer progression. This evidence concerns the gene SERPINB5 and prostate carcinoma.
