Chromosomal 3p loss and 8q gain drive vasculogenic mimicry via HIF-2α and VE-cadherin activation in uveal melanoma
25 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignant tumor in adults and is where Vasculogenic Mimicry (VM) was first described. VM enables aggressive cancer cells to independently form blood networks, complicating treatment for patients exhibiting VM. Previous studies linked VE-Cadherin phosphorylation at Y658 to gene expression via Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK), enhancing the Kaiso/β-catenin/TCF-4...
