Figure 1. Expression of membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and non-cancerous adjacent tissues (NCAT).

Figure 1

(Panel a) No detectable expression of MT1-MMP protein in the normal epithelium (100×). (Panel 1b) MT1-MMP immunoreactivity was in the invasion front and was increased expression in tumor buds (100×). (Panels c,d) Intense cytoplasmic and membranous staining in ESCC (200× and 400×, respectively).
