Comparison of c-Kit expression between primary and metastatic melanoma of skin and mucosa
Background: Melanoma causes the greatest morbidity and mortality of all skin cancers. Mucosal melanoma is a rare but highly aggressive neoplasm. According to previous studies the prevalence of KIT mutations in acrallentiginous and mucosal melanomas is relatively low (less than 15–20%), but it can have profound therapeutic implications for localized high risk or metastatic diseases. Our goal w...
متن کاملTissue-Based Microarray Expression of Genes Predictive of Metastasis in Uveal Melanoma and Differentially Expressed in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
PURPOSE To screen the microarray expression of CDH1, ECM1, EIF1B, FXR1, HTR2B, ID2, LMCD1, LTA4H, MTUS1, RAB31, ROBO1, and SATB1 genes which are predictive of primary uveal melanoma metastasis, and NFKB2, PTPN18, MTSS1, GADD45B, SNCG, HHIP, IL12B, CDK4, RPLP0, RPS17, RPS12 genes that are differentially expressed in metastatic uveal melanoma in normal whole human blood and tissues prone to metas...
متن کاملExpression of p16 in sporadic primary uveal melanoma.
Expression of p16 protein, intragenic mutations of CDKN2A and hypermethylation of CDKN2A promoter region in 41 sporadic primary uveal melanomas were studied. There were 2 cases of spindle cell B histological type, 11 of A + B and 28 of mixed type. All melanomas infiltrated sclera but in 28 cases infiltration was superficial while in 13 profound. In 7 cases the tumor infiltrated the optic nerve....
متن کاملLong-Term Survivors with Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
BACKGROUND To report the tumor, patient, and treatment characteristics of long-term metastatic uveal melanoma survivors. METHODS A non-comparative, retrospective case series of patients from a single institution surviving >24 months with metastatic uveal melanoma (UM). RESULTS Nine patients met the study criteria and their charts were reviewed. The mean age at diagnosis of UM was 44.1 years...
متن کاملDepsipeptide (FR901228) inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in primary and metastatic human uveal melanoma cell lines.
PURPOSE Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary malignant ocular tumor in adults. No effective chemotherapy regimens are available for either intraocular or metastatic uveal melanoma. Therefore, the ability of the histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs), depsipeptide, sodium butyrate (NaB) and trichostatin A (TSA), to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell growth of UM cell lines in vitro was...
