MMP9 levels from bone marrow-derived cells correlate with lung tumor formation. (A) Gelatin zymography of bone marrow cell lysates showing MMP levels in representative samples of wildtype (WT) and MMP9 null (MMP−/−) mice after reconstitution with either MMP9 positive or MMP9 null bone marrow cells. ND=not detected, M=medium, H=high levels of bone marrow MMP9. Duplicate zymograms in the presence of EDTA confirms metal-dependent enzymatic activity. (B) Quantitation of surface lung tumors in control or MMP9 null mice reconstituted with MMP9 positive or MMP9 null bone marrow cells.
