TL;DR: MiR‐15b appears to represent a particular important miRNA in melanoma that is associated with poor prognosis and tumorigenesis and can provide independent prognostic informations.
Journal ArticleDOI
microRNA‐21 is upregulated in malignant melanoma and influences apoptosis of melanocytic cells
Imke Satzger,Anika Mattern,Uta Kuettler,Dirk Weinspach,Margarete Niebuhr,Alexander Kapp,Ralf Gutzmer +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that levels of miR‐21 are significantly increased in primary melanoma tissues as compared to benign nevi and in human melanoma cell lines asCompared to melanocytic cell preparations, and this findings indicate a potential pathogenetic role of microRNA‐21 upregulation in a subgroup of melanomas.
