Besides, TAMs also support glioma invasion by upregulated expression and activation of extracellular matrix-degrading proteases like matrix metalloprotease (MMP) 2, MMP9, and membrane-type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP) [150]. Versican released by glioma can trigger the expression of TLR2 and educate microglia ...
