Core Tip
Core tip: The extracellular matrix remodels during the occurrence and development of tumor. In order to study the changes of extracellular matrix, we obtained the extracellular matrix of colorectal cancer by acellular technology. We found that type I collagen, MMP-2, and MMP-9 increased in the colorectal cancer tissue, while type IV collagen and TIMP-3 decreased in the colorectal cancer tissue. Furthermore, we co-cultured the extracellular matrix and HT 29 cancer cells in vivo and in vitro, and found that the cancer extracellular matrix was more conducive for the growth of cancer cells than the normal tissue extracellular matrix.
