For instance, among the SALL4-HDAC2 targets upregulated upon SALL4 knockdown, we found integrins (ITGB1, ITGA6, ITGA4), N-cadherin (CDH2), TGFBR2, VEGFR-1, PDGFC, LOXL2, MAPK8, and many others which are associated with invasive melanoma phenotypes40–42 (Fig. 6b, Supplementary Data 4). The gene discussed is HDAC2; the disease is melanoma.
