The major cell type expressing MMP9 mRNA and protein were tumor‐infiltrating neutrophils (Fig 4B and C, Appendix Fig S9A and B), while Tgfb1 mRNA expression was mostly restricted to tumor‐infiltrating monocytes and Tgfb2, and Tgfb3 mRNA expression was mostly restricted to tumor epithelium and stroma (Fig 4D). Here, TGFB3 is linked to neoplasm.
