1 The aim of the study was to evaluate the expression profile of MMP-2, MMP-9 and their tissue inhibitors TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 at the mRNA level in human colorectal cancer cell line Caco-2 treated with IP6. Phytic Acid TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 2 Homo sapiens
2 Treatment of cells with 2.5 mM IP6 at 12 h resulted in a strong increase in both TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 expression. Phytic Acid TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 2 Homo sapiens
3 The results of this study show that IP6 modulates MMP-2, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 genes expression in colon cancer cells at the transcriptional level in a way dependent on its concentration and time of interaction. Phytic Acid TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 2 Homo sapiens
