Searching for the 'melano-miRs': miR-214 drives melanoma metastasis.
Since the beginning of micro-RNA (miR) research, several attempts have been made to identify the ‘melano-miRs’, which are involved in melanoma progression. Indeed, a small number of miRs have been identified to regulate some genes involved in melanogenesis. However, the miRs that control the pathway to the malignant phenotype are yet undescribed. In this issue of the EMBO Journal, Penna et al (...
متن کاملMelanoma Metastasis
Cancer metastasis requires a series of sequential steps, each of which is rate limiting. Neoplasms are biologically heterogeneous, and the process of metastasis is highly selective. Multiple metastases often differ in biologic characteristics and can change during the course of the disease. Clonal analysis of human melanoma suggest that systemic, physiologic signals can be recognized by neoplas...
متن کاملStathmin drives virus-induced metastasis.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but highly metastatic neuroendocrine skin cancer [1]. Approximately 80% of MCC are caused by the recently described Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). Since its discovery in 2008 by the Chang and Moore laboratory, this small DNA virus has been the subject of intensive research. In particular, efforts have focussed on elucidating the mechanisms by which the v...
متن کاملConvergent Multi-miRNA Targeting of ApoE Drives LRP1/LRP8-Dependent Melanoma Metastasis and Angiogenesis
Through in vivo selection of human cancer cell populations, we uncover a convergent and cooperative miRNA network that drives melanoma metastasis. We identify miR-1908, miR-199a-5p, and miR-199a-3p as endogenous promoters of metastatic invasion, angiogenesis, and colonization in melanoma. These miRNAs convergently target apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and the heat shock factor DNAJA4. Cancer-secreted ...
متن کاملTonsillar melanoma metastasis.
Malignant melanoma is an aggressive cutaneous melanocytic neoplasia of fast spread1. Despite its diagnosis, the disease mortality still reaches high levels. Metastasis to the oral cavity of the cutaneous melanoma is rare2-5: until 2001 less than 30 cases of metastasis in the palatine tonsils had been published3. This type of dissemination is blood-born and the prognosis is deleterious. The reas...
