The lncRNA RMEL3 protects immortalized cells from serum withdrawal‐induced growth arrest and promotes melanoma cell proliferation and tumor growth
20 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
RMEL3 is a recently identified lncRNA associated with BRAFV600E mutation and melanoma cell survival. Here, we demonstrate strong and moderate RMEL3 upregulation in BRAF and NRAS mutant melanoma cells, respectively, compared to melanocytes. High expression is also more frequent in cutaneous than in acral/mucosal melanomas, and analysis of an ICGC melanoma dataset showed that mutations in RMEL3 locus are...
