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 کاملmiR-214 and miR-148b Targeting Inhibits Dissemination of Melanoma and Breast Cancer.
miR-214 and miR-148b have been proposed to antagonize the effects of each other in enabling or blocking metastasis, respectively. In this study, we provide evidence deepening their role and interrelationship in the process of metastatic dissemination. Depleting miR-214 or elevating miR-148b blocked the dissemination of melanoma or breast cancer cells, an effect that could be accentuated by dual...
متن کاملmiR-214 coordinates melanoma progression by upregulating ALCAM through TFAP2 and miR-148b downmodulation.
Malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive human cancers, but the mechanisms governing its metastatic dissemination are not fully understood. Upregulation of miR-214 and ALCAM and the loss of TFAP2 expression have been implicated in this process, with TFAP2 a direct target of miR-214. Here, we link miR-214 and ALCAM as well as identify a core role for miR-214 in organizing melanoma metast...
متن کاملmicroRNA-214 contributes to melanoma tumour progression through suppression of TFAP2C.
Malignant melanoma is fatal in its metastatic stage. It is therefore essential to unravel the molecular mechanisms that govern disease progression to metastasis. MicroRNAs (miRs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs involved in tumourigenesis. Using a melanoma progression model, we identified a novel pathway controlled by miR-214 that coordinates metastatic capability. Pathway components include TFAP...
