Background

MMP-8(Matrix metalloproteinase-8) an enzyme that degrades fibrillar collagens imparting strength to the fetal membranes, is expressed by leukocytes and chorionic cytotrophoblast cells. The high-serum MMP-8 levels (>100 ng/mL) had poor cancer-specific survival. MMP8 also has prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.
