Mechanisms Contributing to Differential Regulation of PAX3 Downstream Target Genes in Normal Human Epidermal Melanocytes versus Melanoma Cells
16 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Melanoma is a highly aggressive and drug resistant form of skin cancer. It arises from melanocytes, the pigment producing cells of the skin. The formation of these melanocytes is driven by the transcription factor PAX3 early during embryonic development. As a result of alternative splicing, the PAX3 gene gives rise to eight different transcripts which encode isoforms that have different structures and activate...
