MITF expression in acral melanoma tissues and its association with clinical, pathological characteristics and prognosis [PDF]
Background and purpose: The microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) plays a complex role in melanoma pathogenesis and progression. It is known to regulate multiple processes both in melanocytes and melanoma cells.

This work systematically explored the anti‐chronic gastritis mechanism of the FAI‐BCT herb pair. UPLC‐Q‐TOF‐MS/MS was applied to identify absorbed prototypes and metabolites of FAI‐BCT in rat plasma. Combining database mining, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation, we screened the key bioactive components and core ...

Melanogenesis and MITF expression in primary melanomas: an immunohistochemical study
Background The Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor - MITF is a key regulator of melanogenesis, controlling melanin production and pigment phenotype in melanocytes. It also influences cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival.

ABSTRACT Introduction Epithelioid angiomyolipoma is a rare perivascular epithelioid cell tumor subtype with malignant potential. Its morphology mimics renal cell carcinoma, posing diagnostic challenges. Half of these cases harbor TSC1/TSC2 alterations, and a small subset features TFE3 rearrangements, mutually exclusive of TSC mutations.

The bHLH-LZ transcription factors MITF and TFEB have been implicated in human disease, with their overexpression increasing the risk of developing cancer. The manner in which their access to E-box target motifs is controlled is an important consideration, as it is via binding to these motifs that bHLH-LZ factors mediate changes in gene expression.

Cancer Heterogeneity and Cancer Cell Plasticity: Molecular Mechanisms and Precision Therapy
Tumor progression is driven by heterogeneity occurring across multiple biological scales. At the molecular level, tumor cells exhibit alterations across distinct omics layers, including genomic mutations, epigenomic reprogramming, transcriptional changes, and proteomic remodeling, collectively shaping tumor cell phenotypes and functional states.
