VEGF, IL-6, and MMP-7 have all been associated with enhanced tumor invasiveness in gastric cancer (68–70), while high expression of VEGF and IL-6 have been shown to stimulate metastasis of malignant cells and indicate poor clinical outcomes in gastric cancer patients, suggesting a potential impact of chemerin in this setting (69–72). The gene discussed is MMP7; the disease is neoplasm.
