CYTOKINE AND GROWTH FACTOR MODULATION OF CELL CYCLE EVENTS IN HUMAN MELANOMA CELL LINES
Cytokines influence cell cycle events, which in some but not all instances can be associated with melanoma progression. Analysis of the G0/G 1 and S phase fractions of the cell cycle was used to assay the proliferative or inhibitory activity of cytokines against ten human melanoma cell lines, including pairs of cell lines derived from primary and metastatic tissue of individual patients. Cy...
متن کاملIdentification of an Immunogenic Subset of Metastatic Uveal Melanoma.
PURPOSE Uveal melanoma is a rare melanoma variant with no effective therapies once metastases develop. Although durable cancer regression can be achieved in metastatic cutaneous melanoma with immunotherapies that augment naturally existing antitumor T-cell responses, the role of these treatments for metastatic uveal melanoma remains unclear. We sought to define the relative immunogenicity of th...
متن کاملComparison 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 کاملNK cell HMGB1 mediates IL-2-induced “systemic autophagic” toxicity
Background and objectives High dose Interleukin 2 (HDIL-2) treatment has durable antitumor effects in 5-10% of patients with metastatic melanoma and RCC. The application and efficacy of HDIL-2 treatment is limited due to substantial toxicity. We have previously shown that the toxicity results from cytokine-induce autophagy, which we term a “systemic autophagic syndrome”. Depletion of individual...
متن کاملP53 antigen expression in cutaneous Melanoma and its relation to tumor thickness
Background: P53 tumor suppressor gene mutation is one of the most common genetic alterations in human malignancies. The mutated from of the gene is stable and can be detected with immunohistochemistry methods. There is much controversy about the expression rate of this gene in malignant melanoma. Objective: To determine the frequency of the P53 antigen expression by sex, age, type and thickness...
