The Barrier Molecules Junction Plakoglobin, Filaggrin, and Dystonin Play Roles in Melanoma Growth and Angiogenesis
17 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To understand role of barrier molecules in melanomas. BACKGROUND: We have reported poor patient survival and low immune infiltration of melanomas that overexpress a set of genes that include filaggrin (FLG), dystonin (DST), junction plakoglobin (JUP), and plakophilin-3 (PKP3), and are involved in cell-cell adhesions. We hypothesized that these associations are causal, either by interfering with immune...
