MMP2 and acute myeloid leukemia: Multiple studies describe other associations observed in AML and extramedullary disease, including increased expression of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in AML1/ETO leukemia cells perhaps mediating the p-ERK/c-Myc/MMP-2 pathway, expression of miR-29c&b2, circular RNA expression patterns, and expression of CD25 and CD117 [84,85,86,87,88,89,90].
