Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate inhibits the invasion of human oral cancer cells and decreases the productions of matrix metalloproteinases and urokinase‐plasminogen activator

Abstract

Taken together, these results suggest that EGCG could inhibit the invasion and migration of human oral cancer cells and that the effects may partially because of the decreased productions of MMP-2, MMP-9, and uPA.
