MMP2 and cervical cancer: To examine the effects of AL on EMT and ECM degradation enzymes of cervical cancer cells, we treated HeLa and SiHa cells with AL and determined the expression of EMT molecular markers (N-cadherin, β-catenin, and vimentin) and ECM degradation enzymes MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13, which indicate invasion potential of cervical cancer cells.
