Oncogenic BRAF(V600E) Promotes Stromal Cell-Mediated Immunosuppression Via Induction of Interleukin-1 in Melanoma
1 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In this study, we assessed the specific role of BRAF(V600E) signaling in modulating the expression of immune regulatory genes in melanoma, in addition to analyzing downstream induction of immune suppression by primary human melanoma tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAF). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Primary human melanocytes and melanoma cell lines were transduced to express WT or V600E forms of BRAF, followed by...
