Fig 1. MMP9 expression was correlated with glioma grade.

Fig 1

(A) MMP9 expression was correlated with glioma grade (p<0.001). Glioma of grade IV showed a significantly increased in MMP9 expression compared to grade II and III gliomas (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, respectively). MMP9 expression level in grade III gliomas was markedly higher than that in grade II gliomas (p<0.0001). (B, C) Likelihood ratio test showed that MMP9 was significantly associated with tumor grade in two independent glioma dataset (p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively) * p< 0.05; **** p<0.0001.
