Abstract excerpt
The secreted protein melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) is highly expressed in malignant melanoma but not in melanocytes and is associated with tumor progression in vivo. Here, we further investigated the functional role of MIA by inhibiting MIA expression of the human melanoma cell line HMB2 via stable antisense MIA cDNA transfection, and subsequent analysis of the cell clones. MIA-deficient cell clones showed...
