|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | + | ++ | +++ | Total | ||
| MMP-9 | 0 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 10 |

Normal human breast tissues (n=10), invasive primary breast tumor (n=50), and lymph node metastatic tissues (n=40) were stained for KDM3A and MMP-9. The staining intensity was scored as detailed in Table 1. Pearson correlation, R2 = 0.759
P < 0.01.
