a Immunofluorescence for high grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) and endometrioid carcinoma. MMPs proteins were observed in the cytoplasm stained using MMP-2 antibody (green) and MMP-9 antibody (red), nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). MMPs are shown in separate locations within the tumor. b Immunofluorescence for serous borderline tumor, low grade serous carcinoma (LGSC), and high grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). MMP-9 antibody (red) evidenced the cytoplasm of epithelial tumor cells, while the basal lamina was stained with collagen IV antibody (green) and the nuclei using DAPI (blue). Basal lamina discontinuities were observed in relation to MMP presence (arrows), mainly in LGSC
