BACKGROUND An essential step in the process of tumor invasion and metastasis involves the degradation of tissue barriers in the extracellular matrix (ECM), particularly in the basal membrane (BM). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs), in particular MMP-2, MMP-7, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, play an important role in the process of ECM and BM degradation in connection with tumor invasion. The aim of our study was to assess the levels of MMP-2, MMP-7, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 mRNA expression in colorectal carcinoma tissue samples and to correlate them with the stage of the disease. METHODS The study included samples of tumor tissue of 38 patients with colorectal carcinoma and samples of tissue of 11 patients with benign disease. The expression levels of mRNA MMP-2, MMP-7, TIMP-1, TIMP-2 and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), as housekeeping gene, were quantified in tissue samples using the method of reverse transcription real-time PCR. RESULTS The levels of mRNA expression of MMP-2, MMP-7 and TIMP-1 were significantly higher in tumor tissue samples that in the control tissue (p<0.0005, p<0.0007 and p<0.0004). In addition the presence of mRNA MMP-2, MMP-7, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 in tumor tissue samples in these parameters was significantly higher than in the control tissue (p<0.003, p<0.0001, p<0.0001 and p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This pilot study demonstrated that a significant difference in the level and in the presence of mRNA MMP-2, MMP-7 and TIMP-1 expressions between tumor colorectal and control colorectal tissues might be helpful for the prognosis of colorectal cancer.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D019715 Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1 A member of the family of TISSUE INHIBITOR OF METALLOPROTEINASES. It is a N-glycosylated protein, molecular weight 28 kD, produced by a vast range of cell types and found in a variety of tissues and body fluids. It has been shown to suppress metastasis and inhibit tumor invasion in vitro. TIMP-1,Metalloproteinase-1 Tissue Inhibitor,Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase 1
