Decreased Expression of Retinoid Receptors in Melanoma: Entailment in Tumorigenesis and Prognosis
15 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Retinoids inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation in melanoma cells. Retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and retinoid X receptors (RXR) mediate the various modulatory effects of retinoids in cells. We have studied the in situ expression of each RAR and RXR protein (alpha, beta, gamma) in a large series of melanocytic lesions and correlated the expression with clinicopathologic features and prognosis...
