The underestimated role of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MiTF) in normal and pathological haematopoiesis [PDF]
Haematopoiesis, the process by which a restrained population of stem cells terminally differentiates into specific types of blood cells, depends on the tightly regulated temporospatial activity of several transcription factors (TFs).

Characterizing the Coding Region Determinant-Binding Protein (CRD-BP)-Microphthalmia-associated Transcription Factor (MITF) mRNA interaction. [PDF]
Coding region determinant-binding protein (CRD-BP) binds to the 3'-UTR of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) mRNA to prevent its targeted degradation by miR-340.

Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor (MITF) Regulates Immune Cell Migration into Melanoma [PDF]
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is a key transcription factor in melanoma development and progression. MITF amplification and downregulation have been observed in a significant proportion of melanoma patients and correlate with ...

Brn-2 Represses Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor Expression and Marks a Distinct Subpopulation of Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor–Negative Melanoma Cells [PDF]
Abstract The origin of tumor heterogeneity is poorly understood, yet it represents a major barrier to effective therapy. In melanoma and in melanocyte development, the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) controls survival, differentiation, proliferation, and migration/metastasis.

Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor is required for mature myotube formation [PDF]
The roles of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (Mitf) in the skeletal muscle and during myogenesis are unclear.Expression of Mitf in mouse tissues and during myogenesis was evaluated. Effects of Mitf knockdown on myogenesis and gene expression related to myogenesis were subsequently explored. Furthermore, effects of p21, a cyclin-dependent

Preclinical study of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor inhibitor ML329 in gastrointestinal stromal tumor growth [PDF]
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) comprise about 80% of mesenchymal neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. Although imatinib mesylate is the preferred treatment, the development of drug resistance highlights the need for novel therapeutic ...

Negative Regulatory Loop between Microphthalmia-Associated Transcription Factor (MITF) and Notch Signaling. [PDF]
Melanoma, a melanocyte-origin neoplasm, is a highly metastatic and treatment-resistance cancer. While it is well established that notch signaling activation promotes melanoma progression, little is known about the reciprocal interactions between Notch ...
