In the experiment below, mice were treated with a virus that inhibited expression of angiopoietin 2, MMP3 and MMP10 in the lung or with a control virus (Mock). Breast cancer cells that express the gene luciferase were then injected into the mammary glands of the mice. The metstasis of the tumors to the lungs could then be measured by imaging the presence of luciferase in the lungs. In 5-6 sentences, explain the data below and why knockout of Angpt2, MMP3 and MMP10 appears to inhibit metstastasis.

In the experiment below, mice were treated with a virus that inhibited expression of angiopoietin 2, MMP3 and MMP10 in the lung or with a control virus (Mock). Breast cancer cells that express the gene luciferase were then injected into the mammary glands of the mice. The metstasis of the tumors to the lungs could then be measured by imaging the presence of luciferase in the lungs. In 5-6 sentences, explain the data below and why knockout of Angpt2, MMP3 and MMP10 appears to inhibit metstastasis.
