Description
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are implicated in tumor transformation by modulating proteins involved in differentiation, proliferation and invasion. In order to identify genes that may support melanoma progression or regression after an antioxidant system (AOS) response, we developed and characterized a human melanoma cell model with different levels of ROS by stably overexpressing the antioxidant enzyme catalase in A375 amelanotic melanoma cells, and whole genome gene expression patterns were analyzed by microarrays.
