Abstract
Ethanol is a tumor promoter and may enhance the metastasis of breast cancer. We have previously demonstrated that over-expression of ErbB2 promoted ethanol-mediated invasion of mammary epithelial cells and breast cancer cells. However, the underlying cellular/molecular mechanisms remain unknown. By gelatin zymography, we showed that over-expression of ErbB2 increased the production of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 in human mammary...
