Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed human uveal melanoma tissue samples for markers related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation using immunohistochemical staining.
  • Increased levels of EMT markers, specifically E-cadherin and vimentin, were found in the tumor tissue, suggesting changes in cell behavior.
  • The imbalance in MMP-9 versus TIMP-1 proteins indicates heightened ECM degradation, potentially facilitating the invasive growth of uveal melanoma.

We studied cytotoxicity and accumulation of boron and lithium by cultured human fibroblasts and human and mouse skin melanoma cell cultures. The cytotoxicity of boron and lithium drugs was assessed by MTT tests in the boron and lithium concentration range of 10-640 μg/ml. Cell viability was significantly reduced after incubation with boron and lithium at concentrations >160 μg/ml.
