This is partly in contrast to the results obtained by Gimbernardi et al. [9] and Grant et al. [54], who studied the expression of MMP-1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -9, -10, -11, -12, -13, -14, -15, -16, -17, -18 and -20 by RT-PCR in 84 normal or human cancer cell lines, including some breast cancer cell lines such as BT 20, MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, ZR 75/1 and T47D. The gene discussed is MMP1; the disease is cancer.
