Differential expression of <i>c‐jun</i> and <i>c‐fos</i> mRNAs in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: Associations with uPA, gelatinase B, and matrilysin mRNAs

Abstract

Expression of c-jun seems to be involved in the regulation of gelatinase B and matrilysin being not related to uPA. Lack of association with c-fos may indicate that other fos family members might play a role in the transcriptional activity of the analyzed proteases in HNSCC tumors.
