In summary, we report the differential regulation of a novel gene, namely ASK/Dbf4, in melanoma and suggest that up-regulation of ASK/Dbf4 is a novel molecular determinant with prognostic relevance that confers a proliferative advantage in cutaneous melanoma.

In summary, our study not only elucidated that ASK/Dbf4, a novel cell survival gene in melanoma was transcriptionally regulated by E2F1, but also that the induction of ASK/Dbf4 was refractory to UVB exposure suggesting that its upregulation was not an early event in melanomagenesis.
