Popis: In order to identify genes associated with the metastatic phenotype we have compared the expression pattern of 6800 genes in a metastatic (NMCL-1) versus a non-metastatic (530) human melanoma cell line making use of DNA microarrays. The differentially expressed genes identified are involved in control of transcription, regulation of the cell-cycle, proteolysis, cell adhesion, immune response and signaling. A remarkable feature of the system under investigation is the consistent down-regulation of MHC-related and cell adhesion mediating genes in the metastatic cell line.
