miR-29b enhances prostate cancer cell invasion independently of MMP-2 expression

Abstract Background The ability to metastasize is one of the most important characteristics of neoplastic cells. An imbalance between the action of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of MMPs drives the invasion process. Some studies have suggested that MMP-2 is involved in m...
