Abstract
⺠Gene expression and peptide concentration of adrenomedullin (AM) were highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues. ⺠The level of preproAM mRNA was positively correlated with MMP-9, but not with VEGF-A. ⺠Immunoreactivity of AM was present in cancer cells, while MMP-9 localized in stroma cells surrounding the tumors.
