Genetics, cellular biology and tumor microenvironment of melanoma.
Melanoma is an aggressive disease for which there is no effective curative treatment beyond surgical excision of the primary lesion and regional disease. Epidemiological, clinical, in vitro and in vivo studies have provided insight into the biology of the disease. This review focuses on current understanding of key molecular pathways, cellular interaction and tumor microenvironment, and the res...
متن کاملMelanoma and the tumor microenvironment.
Melanoma arises through the accrual of mutations in genes critical for proliferation and survival. Although melanoma had been traditionally conceptualized as a cell-autonomous event, increasing evidence supports the notion that these tumors are not isolated entities but rather depend, interact with, and react to the adjacent microenvironment. Melanoma is composed of not only the malignant cells...
متن کاملGenome-wide characterization of circulating tumor cells identifies novel prognostic genomic alterations in systemic melanoma metastasis.
BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTC) have been found in patients with metastatic melanoma and are associated with advanced melanoma stage and poor patient outcome. We hypothesize that CTC harbor genomic changes critical in the development of distant systemic metastasis. Here, we present the first genome-wide copy-number aberration (CNA) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH)-based characterizatio...
متن کاملA Mimic of the Tumor Microenvironment on GPR30 Gene Expression in Breast Cancer
Introduction: The G-protein coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family; involved in breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancers. Many GPCR receptors that are implicated in several types of human cancers are correlated with increased cell proliferation and tumor progression; especially GPR30 gene. Methods: The breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cel...
