MMP-13 expression is well correlated with the number of blood vessels in human cancer cases. A, immunohistochemical staining of MMP-13 and CD34 in normal oral epithelium and HNSCC. Representative cases of MMP-13 expression in normal oral epithelium and HNSCC are shown. Representative cases of CD34 expression in HNSCC cases with or without MMP-13 expression are also shown. B, graph shows the number of cases with or without MMP-13 expression in 67 HNSCC cases. *, p < 0.05. C, graph shows the average number of blood vessels in HNSCC cases with or without MMP-13 expression. *, p < 0.05.
