Abstract:
Matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) is a collagen which belongs to matrix metalloproteinase.Its function is that degrades collagen and be involved in inflammation.In breast cancer,the level of expression of MMP-8 is related to the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer as well as the clinical and pathological stage of breast cancer,but it is unclear on the molecular mechanism of MMP-8 in the malignant tumor.The research of expression in breast cancer prognosis of breast cancer will provide a reliable assessment of molecular marker.
