TI  - Elevated expression of matrix metalloproteinase-3 in human osteosarcoma and its 
      association with tumor metastasis.
PG  - 235-43
AB  - PURPOSE: Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is one of the several MMPs that is 
      associated with malignant tumors of breast, colon, cervix and lung, where its 
      expression has been correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis. However, the 
      role of MMP-3 in metastasis of osteosarcoma has not yet been explored. METHODS: 
      MMP-3 expression in 15 primary and metastatic osteosarcomas with case-matched 
      adjacent non-tumor tissue was assessed by immunohistochemistry and quantitative 
      RT-PCR. Further, MMP-3 mRNA and protein levels were also determined in osteoblast 
      and osteosarcoma cell lines. Additionally, migration and invasion assays were 
      performed in MMP-3 knockdown cells. RESULTS: MMP-3 was expressed in 86.6% (13/15) 
      of the osteosarcoma patients and its expression was significantly higher in 
      metastatic tumors as compared to the primary osteosarcoma tumor tissues. 
      Furthermore, osteosarcoma cell lines showed higher MMP-3 expression as compared 
      to osteoblast cell lines. siRNA mediated MMP-3 knockdown in osteosarcoma cell 
      lines significantly inhibited their migration and invasion properties. 
      CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated that MMP-3 expression is deregulated in 
      osteosarcomas and this potentially contributes to metastasis and might be a 
      promising marker for the prognosis and therapy of metastatic osteosarcoma.
