Abstract excerpt
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) is a multifunctional transmembrane proteoglycan involved in spreading, migration and invasion of melanoma. In addition to the activating BRAF V600E mutation, CSPG4 was shown to promote MAPK signaling by mediating the growth‑factor induced activation of receptor tyrosine kinases. However, it remains elusive which factors regulate CSPG4 expression. Therefore, the aim of...
