Involvement of COX-2/PGE2 Pathway in the Upregulation of MMP-9 Expression in Pancreatic Cancer

Figure 1

Expression of COX-2 and MMP-9 mRNA in pancreatic cancers. (a) Expression of COX-2 and MMP-9 mRNA was detected in 16 pancreatic cancers by RT-PCR. (b) Level of MMP-9 mRNA was correlated positively with that of COX-2 mRNA in 16 pancreatic cancers by real-time PCR, .
