Moreover, MMP-9 immunohistochemistry revealed: (1) a strong reactivity in neoplastic vessels of high-grade gliomas showing an inverse correlation with serum multimeric gelatinolytic activity; (2) a cytoplasmatic reactivity in meningiomas with a significantly increase in atypical meningioma compared with low-grade ones (p = 0.036); (3) a positive correlation between MMP-9 and Ki-67 (Sperman Rho coefficient r = 0.418 and p = 0.034). This evidence concerns the gene MMP9 and meningioma.
