Heat shock factor 1 is required for migration and invasion of human melanoma in vitro and in vivo
Highlights • HSF1 knockdown led to a reduction in melanoma migration and invasive ability in vitro. • HSF1 was required for invasion and metastasis, as well as tumorigenesis in vivo. • These functions were restored by overexpression of wild-type HSF1 in vitro and in vivo. • These results show that H...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • HSF1 knockdown led to a reduction in melanoma migration and invasive ability in vitro. • HSF1 was required for invasion and metastasis, as well as tumorigenesis in vivo. • These functions were restored by overexpression of wild-type HSF1 in vitro and in vivo. • These results show that HSF1 is indispensable for melanoma progression and metastasis. • HSF1 could be a promising therapeutic target for melanoma. |
