Nuclear AREG affects a low-proliferative phenotype and contributes to drug resistance of melanoma.

Abstract excerpt

AMPHIREGULIN (AREG) is a multifaceted molecule, which acts not only as an extracellular ligand for EGF receptor (EGFR), but also as an intracellular signaling molecule. It remains elusive, however, whether AREG has a tumor suppressive or oncogenic role in melanoma. Here, we found that several melanoma cell lines express AREG, but the expression does not correlate with that of EGFR. Recombinant AREG and the...
