We identified several methylation changes that can have role during melanoma progression, including hypermethylation of the promoter regions of the ARHGAP22 and NAV2 genes that are commonly altered in locally invasive primary melanomas as well as during metastasis.
We recommend using a geometric mean of the expression of CLTA, MRPL19 and ACTB for normalization of gene expression in melanomas and a geometric mean of the expression of CASC3 and RPS2 for normalization of gene expression in melanoma cell lines.
In human melanoma, CCN2 expression was associated with a profibrotic ITGA11-expressing subset of cancer-associated fibroblasts that negatively associated with survival.
We recommend using a geometric mean of the expression of CLTA, MRPL19 and ACTB for normalization of gene expression in melanomas and a geometric mean of the expression of CASC3 and RPS2 for normalization of gene expression in melanoma cell lines.
Taken together, our findings illustrated that the upregulation of Sesn2 in response to suspension stress plays a protective role in melanoma against anoikis by detoxifying oxidative stress.
We further demonstrate melanoma and PD-inferred gene expression to overlap across tissues (correlation: 0.14, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.22; P = 7.87 × 10<sup>-04</sup>) and highlight seven genes including PIEZO1, TRAPPC2L, and SOX6 as potential mediators of the genetic correlation between melanoma and PD.

A cohort study of adults with stage IIIC-IV melanoma treated with pembrolizumab or nivolumab during May 1, 2012-February 1, 2018, at Westmead Hospital, Sydney, Australia.

More importantly, this study unexpectedly revealed that, also in the absence of drugs, AIRAP-silencing hinders melanoma clonogenic potential and spheroid growth, promoting caspase activation and apoptotic cell death, an effect independent of AIRAPL and linked to downregulation of the antiapoptotic protein cIAP2.
