Abstract excerpt
Melanoma cells evade drug treatment by changing their phenotype from proliferative to migrative cells and vice versa in a process known as phenotype switching. The Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a key regulator of phenotype switching in melanoma. Previous studies have shown that loss of MITF affects the expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition marker genes such as E-cadherin...
