TP53 and melanoma: We examined the anti-carcinogenic mechanism of vitamin D through the beneficial regulation of oxidative stress effects (oxidative DNA/RNA damage, superoxide dismutase expression, membrane damage, and p53 promoter activity), and expression (at the protein, mRNA and/or promoter levels) of inflammatory mediators (interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)), angiogenic mediators (transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)), and the ECM remodeling proteins (matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and MMP-2) by vitamin D in melanoma cells.
