NUAK2: an emerging acral melanoma oncogene Namiki T; Coelho SG; Hearing VJOncotarget 2011[Sep]; 2 (9): 695-704Recent technological advances in cancer genomics make it possible to dissect complicated genomic aberrations of melanomas. In particular, several specific genomic aberrations including 11q13 amplification and KIT aberrations have been identified in acral melanomas. We recently identified NUAK2 at 1q32 as a promising oncogene in acral melanomas and reported its significant roles in tumorigenesis in melanoma cells using both in vitro and in vivo analyses. NUAK2 as a member of the AMPK family has several intriguing aspects both as an oncogene and as a tumor suppressor gene. Here we review genomic aberrations of melanomas focusing on acral melanomas to emphasize the possible roles of NUAK2 in tumorigenesis in general and suggest that NUAK2 has pivotal roles in acral melanomagenesis.|Animals[MESH]|Cell Transformation, Neoplastic/*genetics[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Melanoma/*genetics/pathology[MESH]|Oncogenes[MESH]|Protein Serine-Threonine Kinases/*genetics[MESH]|Skin Neoplasms/*genetics/pathology[MESH] |
