Furthermore, we tested additional cell lines; combined western blot analysis and measured relative band intensity showed >2-fold higher Dicer levels in melanoma cell lines (WM1552C and A2058) compared to basal cell carcinoma (BCC), primary melanocytes (n = 3) or other melanoma cell lines (WM35 and C32) (results not shown). This evidence concerns the gene DICER1 and melanoma.
