Differential expression patterns ofS100a2, S100a4 andS100a6 during progression of human malignant melanoma

Abstract excerpt

Three members of the S100 gene family, S100A2, S100A4 and S100A6, have been suggested to be associated with cancer development and metastasis. To study their involvement in the tumorigenesis of human melanoma, we examined the mRNA expression levels of the 3 genes in 45 melanoma metastases and in 20 benign nevi. Interestingly, whereas none of the metastases expressed S100A2 mRNA, and the expression level was low...
