MMP7 is upregulated in tongue squamous cell carcinoma. a, The MMP7 mRNA levels in tongue tumours and respective adjacent nontumour tissues were tested by real-time PCR. The ratios of MMP7 in tongue tumour tissues compared with those in the respective nontumour tissues (T/N) from 53 patients are shown. b, Representative images of MMP7 protein expression in tongue tumour tissues and adjacent nontumour tissues by immunohistochemistry (−: negative; +: weakly positive; ++: strongly positive)
