Figure 3: (a) Representative pattern of gelatin zymography from plasma. Lanes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 depict controls; Lanes 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 represent patients with oral cancer; M is molecular weight marker. (b) Comparison of plasma pro matrix metalloproteinases-2, active matrix metalloproteinases-2, pro matrix metalloproteinases-9, and active matrix metalloproteinases-9 in controls (n = 100) and patients with oral cancer (n = 100). (c) Comparison of total matrix metalloproteinases-2 and total matrix metalloproteinases-9 in controls and patients with oral cancer. Values represent integrated density values as mean ± standard error of mean *P = 0.05; ***P < 0.0001 |
