MITF in Normal Melanocytes, Cutaneous and Uveal Melanoma: A Delicate Balance [PDF]
Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) is an important regulator of melanogenesis and melanocyte development. Although it has been studied extensively in cutaneous melanoma, the role of MITF in uveal melanoma (UM) has not been explored in ...

Frequent Mutations in the MITF Pathway in Melanoma [PDF]
SummaryMicrophthalmia‐associated transcription factor (MITF) is involved in melanocyte cell development, pigmentation and neoplasia. To determine whether MITF is somatically mutated in melanoma, we compared the sequence of MITF from primary and metastatic lesions to patient‐matched normal DNA.

MITF: A Stream Flowing for Pigment Cells [PDF]
Microphthalmia‐associated t ranscription f actor (MITF) is a transcription factor with a basic‐helix‐loop‐helix‐leucine zipper (bHLHZip) structure. Mutations of the MITF gene cause a variety of phenotypes, most notably in pigmented cells, in several species. In humans, haploinsufficiency of MITF causes Waardenburg syndrome type 2, while a

Genomic analysis of the Microphthalmia locus and identification of the MITF-J/Mitf-J isoform
Gene, 2005The deafness-pigmentary disorder Waardenburg Syndrome Type 2 is caused by mutations in the human Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) gene. Multiple related deafness-pigmentary disorders result from mutations in genes that regulate MITF expression or its activity.

MITF, the Janus Transcription Factor of Melanoma
Future Oncology, 2013Current models of melanoma propose that transition from the proliferative to the invasive stages of tumor development involves a dynamic and reversible switch in cell phenotype. The almost mutually exclusive proliferative and invasive phenotypes are defined by distinct gene expression signatures, which are themselves controlled by the level of ...

Mitf Is Expressed in Osteoclast Progenitors in Vitro
Experimental Cell Research, 2000Microphthalmia mutant (mi/mi) mice reveal defects in osteoclastogenesis and exhibit osteopetrosis. However, there have been no studies to test the importance of Mitf in in vitro osteoclastogenesis using the cells derived from mi/mi mice. Therefore, we investigated in vitro osteoclastogenesis using the cells derived from mi/mi mice. We cocultured spleen
