Association of MITF and other melanosome-related proteins with chemoresistance in melanoma tumors and cell lines
6 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies in cell lines have suggested a role for melanosomes and related protein trafficking pathways in melanoma drug response. We have investigated the expression of six proteins related to melanosomes and melanogenesis (MITF, GPR143, gp100/PMEL, MLANA, TYRP1, and RAB27A) in pretreatment metastases from melanoma patients (n = 52) with different response to dacarbazine/temozolomide....
