RKIP Regulates Differentiation-Related Features in Melanocytic Cells
(MDPI, 2020-06-03)
Raf Kinase Inhibitor Protein (RKIP) has been extensively reported as an inhibitor of keysignaling pathways involved in the aggressive tumor phenotype and shows decreased expressionin several types of cancers. However, ...
Serum markers improve current prediction of metastasis development in early-stage melanoma patients: a machine learning-based study
(Wiley, 2020-06)
Metastasis development represents an important threat for melanoma patients, even when diagnosed at early stages and upon removal of the primary tumor. In this scenario, determination of prognostic biomarkers would be of ...
Melanoma Clinical Decision Support System: An Artificial Intelligence-Based Tool to Diagnose and Predict Disease Outcome in Early-Stage Melanoma Patients
(MDPI, 2023-04-06)
This study set out to assess the performance of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm based on clinical data and dermatoscopic imaging for the early diagnosis of melanoma, and its capacity to define the metastatic ...
Comparison of the Transcriptional Profiles of Melanocytes from Dark and Light Skinned Individuals under Basal Conditions and Following Ultraviolet-B Irradiation
(Public Library Science, 2015-08-05)
We analysed the whole-genome transcriptional profile of 6 cell lines of dark melanocytes (DM) and 6 of light melanocytes (LM) at basal conditions and after ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation at different time points to investigate ...
The Multifunctional Role of SPANX-A/D Protein Subfamily in the Promotion of Pro-Tumoural Processes in Human Melanoma
(Nature, 2021-02-11)
Human sperm protein associated with the nucleus on the X chromosome (SPANX) genes encode a protein family (SPANX-A, -B, -C and -D), whose expression is limited to the testis and spermatozoa in normal tissues and various ...
Association of TYR SNP rs1042602 with Melanoma Risk and Prognosis
(MDPI, 2022-12-01)
Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive of skin tumors. In order to discover new biomarkers that could help us improve prognostic prediction in melanoma patients, we have searched for germline DNA variants associated ...
Melanoma and Nevi Subtype Histopathological Characterization with Optical Coherence Tomography
(MDPI, 2023-02-23)
Background: Melanoma incidence has continued to rise in the latest decades, and the forecast is not optimistic. Non-invasive diagnostic imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) are largely studied; ...
A Universal Antigen-Ranking Method to Design Personalized Vaccines Targeting Neoantigens against Melanoma
(MDPI, 2023-01-05)
Background: The main purpose of this article is to introduce a universal mathematics-aided vaccine design method against malignant melanoma based on neoantigens. The universal method can be adapted to the mutanome of each ...
MGRN1 as a Phenotypic Determinant of Human Melanoma Cells and a Potential Biomarker
(MDPI, 2022-07-26)
Mahogunin Ring Finger 1 (MGRN1), a ubiquitin ligase expressed in melanocytes, interacts with the α melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor, a well-known melanoma susceptibility gene. Previous studies showed that MGRN1 ...
Sex-Specific Genetic Effects Associated with Pigmentation, Sensitivity to Sunlight, And Melanoma in a Population of Spanish Origin
(Biomed Central, 2016-03-18)
Background: Human pigmentation is a polygenic quantitative trait with high heritability. In addition to genetic factors, it has been shown that pigmentation can be modulated by oestrogens and androgens via up-or down-regulation ...
