MMP13 and cancer: In our previous study, genes related to cancer, cellular growth, proliferation and cell cycle (e.g., polymerase (DNA-directed), delta 4 (Pold4), cyclin C and mitogen activated protein kinase 8) and angiogenesis (e.g., matrix metalloproteinases 13, 14, and 17) were found to be up-regulated in non-treated Ogg1−/− mice lungs, but those involved in free radical scavenging, lipid metabolism, drug and endocrine system development and function were suppressed comparing to the Ogg1+/+ case [14].
