The association of MMP2 and GLUT-1 expression with tumour invasion in an orthotopic ALTS1C1 tumour model. The co-localisation of MMP2/CD31 and GLUT1/CD31 in ALTS1C1 tumours was stained by fluorescent IHC staining. Representative images of MMP2/CD31 and GLUT1/CD31 staining at (A) invasion tumour fronts, (B) infiltrating islands, and (C) the tumour core. The star indicated the co-localisation of MMP2 or GLUT1 on CD31-positive cells. Scale bar: 200 μm in A and C, and 50 μm in B.
