The serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration is higher in mammary tumors with metastases in both humans and animals. In the present study, the direct effects of recombinant feline SAA (rfSAA) protein on invasiveness of feline mammary carcinoma cells were evaluated. As an indicator of invasiveness, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression was investigated in 4 feline mammary carcinoma cell lines of different origins. In 3 of 4 cell lines, MMP-9 expression was significantly increased by rfSAA stim ...[more]
