Abstract excerpt
Most melanomas are driven by BRAF(V600E)-activating mutations, while nevi harboring the same mutations have growth arrest. Although decreased p16 expression has been associated with melanoma formation, in recent work, p15 represented a primary effector of oncogene-induced senescence in nevomelanocytes that was diminished in melanomas. This study determined whether decreased p15 levels represent a general...
