Apoptosis in cutaneous melanomas.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cutaneous melanomas has become one of the most discussed and studied tumor because its particular immunologic development but also its increasing rate worldwide in the last decades. Even thought many patients are diagnosed at an early stage, the death rate continues to rise due to the increasing incidence of more advanced lesions. The aim of this study is to detect apoptosis in 30 cases of cutaneous melanomas using the in situ end-labeling technique (TUNEL) who quantify apoptotic cell death at single cell level and tissues.

Cisplatin fails to induce puma mediated apoptosis in mucosal melanomas
OBJECTIVES Mucosal melanomas (MM) are aggressive subtypes of common melanomas. It remains unclear whether limitations in their resectability or their distinctive molecular mechanisms are responsible for the aggressive phenotype. METHODS In total, 112 patients with cutaneous melanomas (CM) and 27 patients with MM were included. Clinical parameters were analysed using Chi square, Fisher exact a...
متن کاملFactor XIIIa-positive dermal dendritic cells and HLA-DR expression in radial versus vertical growth-phase melanomas.
Fifty nevomelanocytic lesions, including 10 typical compound nevi and 20 radial and 20 vertical growth-phase melanomas, were evaluated for factor XIIIa and HLA-DR (LN3) expression within dermal dendritic cells (DDCs) or dermal dendrocytes to determine if DDCs proliferate and/or participate as possible antigen-presenting cells in the local tissue response to benign and malignant nevomelanocytic ...
متن کاملCellular localization of CIP2A determines its prognostic impact in superficial spreading and nodular melanoma
Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) is an important oncogene contributing to cancer progression partially by regulating cMYC and AKT. We examined CIP2A expression in cutaneous melanomas, its association with clinicopathological parameters and mapped molecular mechanisms regulated by CIP2A in vitro. CIP2A expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in 17 nevi, 132 primary m...
متن کاملCyclin D1 is a candidate oncogene in cutaneous melanoma.
The retinoblastoma pathway has been implicated in melanoma; however, previous studies of one of the key components of this pathway, cyclin D1 (CD1), failed to find amplification of this gene in a large series of melanomas. We have recently shown that a particular subtype of melanoma, acral melanoma (AM), has frequent amplification of the CD1 locus. This suggested that CD1 might be important in ...
متن کاملBRAF and NRAS mutations are uncommon in melanomas arising in diverse internal organs.
BACKGROUND Malignant melanoma arising from different body compartments may be associated with differing aetiological factors and clinical behaviour, and may manifest diverse molecular genetic profiles. Although many studies have focused on cutaneous melanoma, little is known of mucosal and other types of melanoma. In particular, malignant melanoma of soft parts is different from other melanomas...
