Starting from a chromosomal aberration (7q31–34, a genomic location frequently amplified in melanoma and also harbouring c-MET and BRAF), Segura et al, linked overexpression of miR-182 to increased survival and invasive potential in melanoma cells by repressing MITF and FOXO3 (a transcription factor of the Forkhead family). This evidence concerns the gene MITF and melanoma.
