Role of PLK1 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human melanoma
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), a serine/threonine kinase and important cell cycle regulator, is overexpressed in melanoma and its expression has been associated with poor disease prognosis. PLK1 has been shown to interact with NUMB, a NOTCH antagonist. However, the exact role of PLK1-NUMB-NOTCH axis in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and melanoma progression is unclear. In this study, Affymetrix microarray analysis was performed to determine differentially expressed genes following doxycyclin induced shRNA-mediated knockdown of PLK1 in human melanoma cells that showed significant modulations in EMT and metastasis related genes.
