The BRAFV600E causes widespread alterations in gene methylation in the genome of melanoma cells
15 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Although BRAF(V600E) is well known to play an important role in the tumorigenesis of melanoma, its molecular mechanism, particularly the epigenetic aspect, has been incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of BRAF(V600E) signaling in altering gene methylation in the genome of melanoma cells using a methylated CpG island amplification/CpG island microarray system and searched for genes coupled to...
