Cyclooxygenase-2 Is Involved in the Up-Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 in Cholangiocarcinoma Induced by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is an important enzyme in tumor invasion and metastasis in malignant tumors, including cholangiocarcinoma (CC). Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a proinflammatory cytokine, was recently reported to induce the up-regulation of MMP-9 in cultured CC cells. We examined...
