Microphthalmic-associated transcription factor integrates melanocyte biology and melanoma progression.
In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research , Koyanagi et al. (1) present results that indicate that microphthalmic-associated transcription factor (Mitf) levels as measured in circulating tumor cells correlate to stage of disease and thereby further support the notion that this transcription factor is proproliferative. Of particular interest is that the rate of detection of Mitf in circulating t...
متن کاملThe biology of melanocyte and melanocyte stem cell.
The melanocyte stem cells of the hair follicle provide an attractive system for the study of the stem cells. Successful regeneration of a functional organ relies on the organized and timely orchestration of molecular events among distinct stem/progenitor cell populations. The stem cells are regulated by communication with their specialized microenvironment known as the niche. Despite remarkable...
متن کاملMelanocyte and Melanoma Cell Activation by Calprotectin
Calprotectin, a heterodimer of S100A8 and S100A9, is a proinflammatory cytokine released from ultraviolet radiation-exposed keratinocytes. Calprotectin binds to Toll-like receptor 4, the receptor for advanced glycation end-products, and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer on target cells to stimulate migration. Melanocytes and melanoma cells produce little if any calprotectin, but th...
متن کاملExtrafollicular Dermal Melanocyte Stem Cells and Melanoma
Recent studies suggest that extrafollicular dermal melanocyte stem cells (MSCs) persist after birth in the superficial nerve sheath of peripheral nerves and give rise to migratory melanocyte precursors when replacements for epidermal melanocytes are needed on the basal epidermal layer of the skin. If a damaged MSC or melanocyte precursor can be shown to be the primary origin of melanoma, target...
متن کاملHuman skin reconstruct models: a new application for studies of melanocyte and melanoma biology.
Studies of melanocyte and melanoma biology using monocultures of cells are limited because of culture-induced morphology changes and expression of genes related to growth, migration, and invasion, which do not reflect the in situ phenotype of normal melanocytes, nevus cells, or melanoma cells from biologically early progression stages. The development of organotypic cultures of human skin, in w...
