MnTE-2-PyP reverses the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 induced by TGF-β. (a) The positive correlation between TGF-β and MMP-2 transcript levels in GSE17538. (b) The positive correlation between TGF-β and MMP-9 transcript levels in GSE17538. (c, d) PCR and western blot analysis showed that TGF-β induced MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA levels in SW480 cells. The treatment of the cells with MnTE-2-PyP markedly inhibited TGF-β-induced MMP-2 and MMP-9. P < 0.05 compared to the control group. (e) Kaplan-Meier curves indicating the overall survival in GSE17538 with low or high levels of MMP-2 (cutoff value = 9.77). (f) Kaplan-Meier curves indicating the overall survival in GSE17538 with low or high levels of MMP-9 (cutoff value = 8.52).
