In cancer the gelatinases [matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9] have been shown to be associated with tissue invasion and metastatic disease.
Although the relative contribution of each MMP to this process remains unclear, the gelatinases, particularly MMP-2, appear to play a prominent role in tissue invasion [ 16].
It is hypothesized that an imbalance between the activators and inhibitors of the gelatinases results in higher levels of activity, enhanced local proteolysis, and bone erosion.
Few studies have evaluated the levels of active MMPs in situ . Gel zymography has proved to be a sensitive and effective method of detecting the activity of gelatinases in small tissue samples [ 20].
In patients with inflammatory arthritis the gelatinases are expressed in the synovial membrane, and have been implicated in synovial tissue invasion into adjacent cartilage and bone.
