Abstract
MMPs-2/9 and TIMP-2 are both involved in the biology of IH and the propranolol pathways enabling their antiangiogenic properties. The most reliable method of IH examination appears to be direct MMPs-2/9 mRNA evaluation in tumor tissue; and MMP-2 evaluation in patients' serum is a valuable complement to it. Tissue and serum mRNA MMPs assessment may represent a suitable novel biomarker identifying tumor progression and involution processes with potential clinical impact in IH as well as in cancer disease.
