Inhibits tumor growth in a gastric cancer model and suppresses the angiogenesis of the tumor by decreasing the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 in a mouse model with human gastric cancer [99]. Attenuates cell migration in a breast cancer model [100]. Inhibits cell growth, decreases c-myc expression, and increases apoptosis on leukemic cell lines [101]. This evidence concerns the gene MMP7 and breast cancer.
