Oncogenic BRAF signalling increases Mcl-1 expression in cutaneous metastatic melanoma.

Abstract excerpt

The Bcl-2 family member Mcl-1 is essential for melanoma survival; however, the influence of oncogenic BRAF signalling remains elusive. In this study, Mcl-1 splice variant expression was determined in a panel of melanoma cell lines in relation to BRAF mutational status. Mcl-1L mRNA expression was increased in melanoma cells compared with primary melanocytes with significantly increased mRNA and protein expression...
