MMP9 and colonic neoplasm: To understand if beverage processing conditions kept the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer potential of both pulse seeds, particularly in relation to their inhibitory ability on gelatinase MMP-9, a matrix metalloproteinase, which is related to inflammation and cancer disease, we set out to test the in vitro inhibitory activity of the soluble protein fractions of both beverages on MMP-9, as well as their potential against colon cancer cell proliferation and migration, using an HT-29 cultured cell line.
