Abstract excerpt
Malignant transformation of melanocytes to melanoma cells closely parallels activation of melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) expression. We have previously shown that upregulation of MIA occurs on a transcriptional level and involves the highly conserved region (HCR) promoter element. We further observed that the HCR element interacts with the melanoma-associated transcription factor (MATF) and thereby confers...
