MicroRNA‐622 is a novel mediator of tumorigenicity in melanoma by targeting Kirsten rat sarcoma

Abstract: The network of molecular players is similar when comparing neural crest-derived, actively migrating melanoblasts to melanoma cells. However, melanoblasts are sensitive to differentiation-initiating signals at their target site (epidermis), while melanoma cells maintain migratory and undifferentiated features. We aimed at identifying downregulated genes in melanoma that are particularly upregulated in melanoblasts. Loss of such genes could contribute to stabilization of a dedifferentiated, malignant phenotype i… Show more

“…Several miRNAs have been described recently as emerging and crucial KRAS regulators in different cancer types [162,163]. In another study, KRAS was shown by our group to be majorly regulated by miR-622 in melanoma [5]. Furthermore, acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors in melanoma was dependent on dynamic regulation of KRAS expression and could be overcome by KRAS inhibition.…”

“…Furthermore, acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors in melanoma was dependent on dynamic regulation of KRAS expression and could be overcome by KRAS inhibition. This highlights the strong and potential therapeutic impact of the miR-622-KRASaxis in melanoma [5,118]. MiR-622 is a strongly downregulated tumor-suppressive miRNA in melanoma, HCC and also in other cancer types.…”
