Also, AMBRA1 expression negatively correlated with the expression of the mesenchymal genes CDH2, FN1 and VIM, whereas a positive correlation was evident for the epithelial marker CDH1 (Fig. 6e–h), hence suggesting that an active EMT-like process is associated with low AMBRA1 expression in human melanoma cells. This evidence concerns the gene AMBRA1 and melanoma.
