It has been proposed that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a role in tumor invasion. We determined protein expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in colorectal cancer (CRC), corresponding normal mucosa and colorectal adenomas. For confirmation of immunohistochemical results MMP-9 TaqMan RT-PCR analysis was performed. Expression of MMP-9 was determined on paraffin embedded biopsy sections by immunohistochemistry in 31 CRC patients (from cancer tissue and corresponding normal mucosa) and in 30 patients with adenoma (nine adenomas with high grade of dysplasia). MMP-9 immunostaining was determined semi-quantitatively. For Taqman RT-PCR analyses normal mucosa (n=5), adenoma without (n=6) and with high grade dysplasia (n=7) and CRC (n=10) were investigated. Statistical analysis with ANOVA, LSD test and correlation analysis were performed. P value of
