Abstract:Aquaporins (AQPs) are small transmembrane proteins able to facilitate the passive transport of water and small molecules throughout cells. Several studies have demonstrated that modulation of AQPs’ expression contributes to cancer development and progression. However, to date, very little is known about their involvement in malignant melanoma (MM) progression. In this retrospective observational study, we evaluated the correlation between AQP1, -8, and -9 expression and the clinical outcomes of 58 patients dia… Show more
“…The role of aquaporin transmembrane proteins is intensively investigated in cancer biology [ 8 , 9 ]. In Camillo et al’s study, the expression of aquaporin 1, aquaporin 8, and aquaporin 9 correlated with improved prognosis and clinical outcomes among melanoma patients [ 10 ].…”
