MMP9 and neoplasm: A reduction in the levels of the pro-angiogenic factors VEGF (by 6.7-folds, p < 0.01, Figure 8C) and MMP-9 (by 5-folds, p < 0.05, Figure 8D) was observed in the tumor lysates between the groups receiving the anti-miR-NC and the group receiving anti-miR-146a-5p and stimulated macrophages.
