MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities analyzed by gelatinzymography. (a) Gelatin zymography of 4 representative specimens of colon tumor (CT) and the corresponding paired adjacent normal colonic mucosa (CN) from colon cancer patients. (b) Gelatin zymography of 4 representative specimens of rectal tumor (RT) and the corresponding paired adjacent normal rectal mucosa (RN) from rectal cancer patients. (c) Zymographic band densities from all tissue samples were quantified by densitometry. The relative enzyme activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 are expressed as a mean ± SE. ns, non-significant. **P < 0.01. ***P < 0.001
